Wow. This is having real fallout. I hope it continues to snowball
I disagree, to me this is the fall guy falling. There remains 337 MPs who erupted in thunderous applause when it was mentioned they were in the presence of a Nazi.
You would have stood and clapped too. They weren’t aware of who he actually was. It happens all the time at sporting events.
I’m not saying the entire thing was buffoonery but to hold everyone who clapped accountable is just stupid.
Edit: hexbear user, of course.
Yeah, you are right.
That is a misrepresentation of what happened. They were told he fought the Russians. They weren’t told he was a Nazi. That came to light after
Remind me who was fighting against the Soviets in Ukraine during WW2?
