So... Today's news.
One of his aides (Sebastian Gorka, former Editor at Breitbart) is wearing a lapel badge which is linked to the support of Hungarian Nazi sympathisers...
If you actually bother to do some reading into the "Vitézi Rend" he was wearing, it quickly starts looking like that Fake News thats going around.One of his aides (Sebastian Gorka, former Editor at Breitbart) is wearing a lapel badge which is linked to the support of Hungarian Nazi sympathisers...
His father used the title, but as he was born in 1930 he couldn't have been the one knighted. His grandfather would have been the original recipient.
The article states that "The US State Department lists Vitézi Rend as a Nazi-linked group, which could render members ineligible for visas. Gorka became a US citizen in 2012."

The State Department also lists the French, Latvian and Norweigan police as "Nazi-linked" groups, amongst others.
This whole story seems to be about the most tenuous link to the Nazis ever
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Vit%C3%A9z
It's not tenuous at all, in fact it's pretty explicit.
Even if it's an entirely innocent wearing of a Hunagrian civil award it's an odd thing for an American lobbyist and political advisor to be wearing, since when did Hungarian nationalists start advising the POTUS?

Not to mention dressing up in a 19th century Hussars' uniform for official dates. I thought Americans were quite uptight about 'stolen honour'? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Vit%C3%A9z

I did have to laugh at that "Masturbatory Cry Circle", This thread is a 10/10 for hysterical , self righteous hand wringery .Clear evidence that some people who can use a keyboard have very sad non lives. fk knows what will happen if Trumpy actually does something. I have visions of shrieking hand wringing leftards going orbital on solid fuel rockets of self righeousness and exploding in the upper atmosphere. Northern lights anyone?
this from the man who despairingly cried that his son would have to leave the country on 24 June if there was no vote for Brexit. As for what you have quoted, well, if the cap fits, feel free to wear it.

Where is it explicit? The only reference to Nazis is the US State Dept page which I posted. The page that includes the Norweigan and French police as a Nazi linked group
The State Dept page lists organisations which had been under the control of Nazi Germany at some point...This https://lobelog.com/why-is-trump-adviser-wearing-m... makes interesting reading, once you allow for the author's obvious pro-Jewish stance.. It also clarifies the State Dept visa comment.

To be fair though, Trump is also being advised by people with shiney badges from their own performance in many dodgy campaigns.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
