At a packed meeting in the Senate, the Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal asked organizers whether it was appropriate for Congress and the American Foreign Policy Society to be coddling the founder of two neo-Nazi parties, Andriy Parubiy. The response to his questions ranged from bizarre to deeply troubling. The organizer sought to cover-up Parubiy’s extremist viewpoints and dodged questions from Blumenthal about anti-Semitism. This meeting continues the bipartisan alliance between the United States and neo-nazis who were part of the US-funded and supported coup in Ukraine. The coup has resulted in a rise in anti-Semitism in Ukraine as well as consistent belligerence to Russia, which is on its border.
