Nazis Waste Nearly $200K Targeting Claire McCaskill, St. Louis TV Stations Cash In

America First Policies, a pro-Trump non-profit organization with a Nazi sympathizer as its policy director, is spending nearly $200,000 on ads targeting Claire McCaskill in the St. Louis area.

The campaign aims to get controversial CIA veteran Gina Haspel, whom an ACLU lawyer once described as "quite literally a war criminal" due to her involvement in torture and destruction of evidence related to a CIA black site she ran in Thailand, confirmed as the new CIA director.

Now, we know what you're thinking: Wait, didn't that confirmation go through just yesterday by a vote of 54 to 45 in the Senate, even as McCaskill voted to oppose? The answer, of course, is yes. But we never accused anyone at America First Policies of being particularly smart or good with money — we accused them of being run by at least one Nazi sympathizer.

Specifically, we're referring to policy director Juan Pablo Andrade, who, in a video released last week by Mediaite, can be heard saying, “The only thing the Nazis didn’t get right is they didn’t keep fucking going.”
