During CPAC 2021, Rep. Matt Gaetz had a photo-op with "Speckzo", a white nationalist social media "influencer" from NY State who attended the openly fascist "America First Political Action Conference" organized by fellow white nationalist Nick Fuentes. 
Gaetz even gave a shout-out to Speckzo and other fascists affiliated with Fuentes when they managed to sneak into CPAC despite conference security & the American Conservative Union nominally banning their entry. @ACUConservative
Re. Speckzo's political perspective, he empathizes with Hitler and believes he had just cause to crack down on "International Jewery" for disrupting the German economy and for "disproportionately" encouraging homosexuality, pornography, & child prostitution.
During the clip, Speckzo falsely claims Hitler only wanted to regain the territory Germany ceded following WW1 to save persecuted Germans. The Nazis invaded territory far beyond Germany's pre-WW1 borders. Nazis invaded France, Libya, & the U.S.S.R., among other nations.
Hitler's security service called the Einsatzgruppen murdered thousands of Soviet & Polish Jews, leftists, and Roma by firing squad. Hitler's "war of annihilation" culminated in the Nazis starving 1.1 million civilians to death in their 1941 siege of Saint Petersburg.
As expected, Speckzo doubts the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust & implies that "Jewish influence" forces the world to pay undue attention to the genocide of European Jewry.
Rep. Gatez previously acquainted himself with holocaust deniers like Chuck C. Johnson, who in May 2018 contributed $25k to the "Florida Conservative Fund", a Super Pac exclusively benefiting Gatez. Gatez in fact invited Johnson to Trump's "State of Union" address in Jan. 2018.
"Speckzo", who brags about his over $100k a year salary & "Nordic" features, considers electoral democracy a failure. Women & the poor esp. do not deserve the franchise. He regards universal suffrage as "Judeo-Marxist nonsense", while monarchy is the best political system.
Here Speckzo cites a Neo-Nazi YouTuber to prove his point that black people were better off under slavery compared to post abolition. Black people should therefore pay white people "reparations" for giving them shelter, food, & "the best medical care in the world" under slavery.
Accounts from actual enslaved people like Solomon Northup in his memoir "12 Years A Slave" attest to the brutality black people endured. Slaves regularly were starved, whipped, & subject to torturous medical experiments for white peoples' sole benefit.

Despite Speckzo's white supremacist views, he made many influential friends at AFPAC. Representatives @RepGosar & @SteveKingIA gave speeches at the conference and proudly posed for pictures with their fascist fans. Clearly, many GOP politicians sympathize with white nationalism.
