…to children”; and has written “today in America, it is chic in some homosexual circles for individuals to wear replicas of Nazi Germany uniforms, complete with iron crosses, storm trooper outfits, military boots, and even swastikas.” Republican politicians have had many opportunities to declare Fischer out of bounds, or at least put some distance between them.
