Arizona state Rep. Wendy Rogers was among elected representatives who spoke at the white nationalist America First Political Action Conference Friday night, where she delivered a short prerecorded message via video that perfectly displayed why she is adored by the far-right extremists within the white nationalist America First movement.
“Thank you for hosting AFPAC and giving us patriotic Christian Americans another platform where we could be heard,” she added. “I’m also listed as the top enemy of the communist ADL. They denounce me because I say things they don’t like. When they attack me though, I don’t cower or back down, I double down. It’s actually fun for me to see the hater’s heads explode at my mere statement that Robert E. Lee was a great general or that we need to obey our oath to the Constitution as Oath Keepers.” (The Oath Keepers is an extremist antigovernment group whose leader Stewart Rhodes has been charged with seditious conspiracy related to the Capitol insurrection.)
“I’m getting hit right and left, but I’m getting hit far less than Nick Fuentes,” Rogers declared. “I truly respect Nick because he’s the most persecuted man in America. He’s been deplatformed everywhere, debanked, put on no-fly lists, and attacked for simply saying things the media and the far left don’t like.”
Rogers then reiterated her desire to move the “Overton Window” of acceptable discourse further to the extreme right.
