We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Congressional candidate Joe Kent took to Twitter last summer to repeat a racist theme that has become commonplace in the country’s immigration debate and upcoming elections.
“The left is supporting an invasion of illegal immigrants to replace American voters and undercut working class jobs,” Kent wrote.
Then in the spring, in an interview with a white nationalist group, he nodded along as the host said Democrats don't care about the "Anglos" or "the founding stock of America."
“You believe they’re trying to replace white Americans?” the host asked.
“Yes,” Kent responded. “Yeah, and they’ll say, if you even mention that, you’re some sort of a neo-Nazi, white nationalist, ‘That’s the replacement theories.’ Well, no. You’re literally trying to replace an American.”
Kent is not the only Republican to repeat the central themes of the racist and antisemitic Great Replacement theory. All over the country, sitting members of Congress, candidates, state politicians and former officeholders have been doing the same, bringing a white supremacist conspiracy theory to the forefront.
This kind of rhetoric has been in politics for more than a decade, Cabrera said. He pointed to dialogue that surrounded Arizona’s 2010 immigration law, when politicians accused Mexicans of invading the country and said that they were drug dealers, among other disparaging comments.
"It was already there, that No. 1, white people are under attack, and No. 2, there’s this inferior people or harmful people that are invading and potentially do(ing) a lot of harm to white folks in that situation," he said. "And then it really, really spread.”
