preview

Anti-Muslim activist and failed Florida Republican congressional candidate announced that she will be attending white nationalist America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC).AFPAC is led by Fuentes and is intended to rival the more mainstream Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this coming weekend in Orlando, Florida.“This weekend I’ll be in Orlando for AFPAC and various other events,” Loomer stated on Telegram on Thursday morning.AFPAC, which is a far-right white nationalist and neo-Nazi gathering, seeks to be an alternative for those who don’t think CPAC is right-wing enough.Among those currently attending AFPAC include far-right characters such as and former Rep.
