Scott Perry Endorses Joe Kent…So They Can Spread The Neo-Nazi “Great Replacement” Theory Together

This week, Joe Kent announced his campaign's endorsement by extremist MAGA congressman Scott Perry. Just one day later, Perry made headlines after once again pushing the "Great Replacement" theory - a racist conspiracy that alleges the white race is under threat from invasion and erasure at the hands of Jews and other minorities - and claiming that the KKK is the "military wing of the Democratic Party."

In a closed-door briefing, Perry alleged the existence of efforts "importing people into the country" that "want to be in America," but have "no interest in being Americans." "They added 'white' to it to stop everyone from talking about it," proclaimed Perry.

Claiming that migrants are "replacing" American culture and threatening the extinction of the white race, the "Great Replacement " theory has become a rallying cry for white nationalists and Neo-Nazis in America and around the world - leading to racist attacks like the Buffalo mass shooting. Yet yesterday's comments were far from the first time the MAGA congressman endorsed this racist theory - like Kent already has himself.

Joe Kent clearly sees these qualities as positive, proclaiming Perry is "the kind of congressman we need more of."

DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
"This week's endorsement made it crystal clear: Joe Kent can't wait to work 'shoulder-to-shoulder' with Scott Perry spreading racist conspiracies. Birds of a feather flock together."
