(Jewish Group) GOP Congressmen Meet With Holocaust-Denying Troll Chuck Johnson

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Notorious alt-right figure and Holocaust denier Chuck Johnson met with two Republican lawmakers in Congress on Wednesday.

Johnson’s visit was first noted by a HuffPost reporter, who tweeted a picture of Reps. Andy Harris (R-MD) and Phil Roe (R-TN) walking with Johnson.

Johnson, a former Breitbart reporter, has denied the magnitude of the Holocaust, expressing doubt that gas chambers were real and questioning whether six million Jews were really killed—a figure that has been well documented by scholars and historians. He also ran crowdfunding efforts for white supremacist causes, including the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer.

In statements, the lawmakers confirmed that they had met with Johnson to discuss genetic testing and DNA, but claimed they weren’t aware of Johnson’s history of making racist statements. The meeting came on the same day the House held off on a vote to censure Rep. Steve King (R-IA) for comments defending white supremacists.

Can you imagine?! People associating with a KNOWN denier of the Holocaust (and likely an anti-Semite). Oh wait, these are people on the RIGHT, so that means it is actually bad and worthy of scorn.
