Summary

Germany’s domestic intelligence agency declared the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party a “proven right-wing extremist organization,” citing Holocaust trivialization, Nazi slogans, and anti-immigrant rhetoric.

This marks the first time a federally represented party has been labeled extremist.

U.S. Republicans, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance, condemned the move. Rubio called it “tyranny in disguise” and praised the AfD’s popularity, while Elon Musk said banning the “centrist AfD” would be “an extreme attack on democracy.”

The AfD recently won 152 seats and over 20% of the vote.

    Okay that doesn’t make sense. MAGA are big boys capable of being Nazis completely on their own merits; they’re not some Nazi-by-association chumps.
