Nate Hochman, a staffer for Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt, previously faced backlash for neo-Nazi imagery while working for Ron DeSantis's campaign. His ongoing presence in Republican politics raises concerns about the lack of boundaries against extremist ideologies within the GOP. Experts, including Heidi Beirich from the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, argue that racism and antisemitism appear to have little impact on career advancement for such individuals. Hochman's work has included promoting far-right conspiracy theories linked to the thinktank America 2100, founded by former Rubio staff member Mike Needham.
Hochman's position shows once again that there are no guardrails against extremists in the GOP nowadays.
Racism, antisemitism and other abhorrent beliefs don't seem to stop extremists from appointments with far-right politicians, including in the highest office of the presidency.
