He's... he's not wrong here? He doesn't refer to a relationship, he refers to a shared heritage. Greek democracy, Roman republicanism. The idea that we inherited of a mantle of European civilization that runs through Rome is of course also a big white supremacist talking point.
The point he's making is debatable but as a matter of perspective rather than facts. It's not him getting dates or numbers wrong, it was written for him. Probably by Miller or at his instigation.

If it sounds like nonsense, you're not in the intended audience. They got it fine.
I am not going to argue with everyone dunking on him because as always I am not an unpaid PR flack for fascists.

But it's worth understanding and recognizing fascist talking points. Invoking the heritage of Rome sends a signal.
