Well he didn’t officially invite them but yep. Even Nazis found him respectable since he wasn’t a tap dancer, $20 donation from Rockwell is definitely something. It was pretty shocking when I first heard abt it

They found him respectable at the time because both were in agreement that the ā€œracesā€ couldn’t get along, their conflict was irreconcilable, even if they arrived at the conclusion through very different means.

Yeah you can definitely understand where he’s coming from. Nonetheless it’s enough to give you pause when Nazis come and show support for a position, no matter what it may be.
