U.S. Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont, poses with white nationalists in front of the Capitol the week of March 1. On the left is Ryan Sanchez, of the now-defunct white nationalist street fighting gang Rise Above Movement and podcaster Greyson Arnold. Arnold has called Adolf Hitler a “complicated historical figure.” The photo first appeared on Twitter and then on Mastodon.
Oops:
U.S. Rep. Matt Rosendale said he unwittingly posed for a photo with high profile members of the neo-Nazi movement last week walking between congressional hearings.
The photo taken March 1 in front of the Capitol shows Rosendale, a two-term lawmaker, posing with Ryan Sanchez, formerly of the white supremacist street-fighting gang Rise Above Movement, or RAM, and Greyson Arnold, a Nazi sympathizer and podcaster present at the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Arnold has called Adolf Hitler a “misunderstood” and “complicated historical figure.”
Sharing the group photo on Instagram, Arnold called Rosendale “a real America First representative with backbone.”
There’s one thing I know about congressional staffers, and that is that they run background checks on people waiting to meet with, and pose with, their boss. Posing with actual, high profile Nazis doesn’t happen by accident.

With “Maryland” Matt Rosendale (R, Trumpland) you can bet your cattle grazing rights this was no misstep or accidental pose.

Odd how Republicans really insist they’re not Nazi-friendly, yet all the Nazis want to hang out with them…’tis a mystery for the ages.
