Colorado Republican Legislator Meets with Far-Right, Antisemitic Extremist

Colorado State Representative Patrick Neville (R), who in March of 2019 accused Jewish Governor Jared Polis of promoting a “gestapo-like mentality,” met with antisemitic and xenophobic extremist Michelle Malkin in early June of 2020.

Neville publicly shared a photo from the meeting, which appears to take place in his government office, on his Twitter account.

Malkin is a white nationalist who has propped up and defended Holocaust deniers, spreads antisemitic conspiracy theories, and is something of a celebrity among extremist groups. Despite earlier efforts from Republican Party figures to distance themselves from the organizations and groups with which Malkin affiliates, Donald Trump and others have begun embracing her.
