Did Milo Connect Marjorie Taylor Greene With a Racist Fla. Convention?
An Orlando gathering of white nationalists managed to snag Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia as a featured keynote speaker this year.
And right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos brought them together.The congresswoman spoke Friday to open the America First Political Action Conference.“I want to say a very special thank you to Milo Yiannopoulos for making this happen,” said Nick Fuentes, AFPAC's founder. “He made this happen.
He put it together.”The event was held at the Orlando World Center Marriott, a hotel near to the one hosting the high-profile Conservative Political Action Conference.
Of the two conferences, AFPAC is considered farther right. CPAC avoids direct association with the group, but AFPAC has still held conventions near to and concurrent with the Florida CPAC gathering two years in a row, the Orlando Sentinel reports.Fuentes, who the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as a white nationalist livestreamer, spouted racist messaging from the same stage as Greene moments before the congresswoman came out.
