Holocaust-denier and founder of "Never Trump" group

“We are told the American soldier does not know what he is fighting for. Now, at least, we know what he is fighting against.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower [upon visiting Ohrdruf concentration camp]

A so-called "principled" group of "prominent Republicans" has a founding member who, like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is a Holocaust denier and a full-throated anti-Semite.

Pete McCloskey [his friends call him Adolf] is a former congress-cretin who spoke of what he called the "so-called Holocaust" in a keynote address that praised a major Holocaust-denial bunch of asshats known as "A Call for American Renewal." Adolf is a founding signatory. 

Their preamble sounds quite patriotic, and according to former congressman Denver Riggleman, the group aims to "counter disinformation and conspiracy theories" and "step up in this fight for truth and integrity." 

Evidently, they also believe that the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust is a lie and they're simply hiding out somewhere.

McCloskey served as a Republican representative for California from 1967 to 1983 but may have read Karl Marx as he changed his affiliation to the Democratic Party in 2007. 

After leaving Congress, he gave the keynote address at the Institute for Historical Review's 2000 conference. An infamous Holocaust-denial group with ties to neo-Nazi organizations, IHR has described the Holocaust as "some scattered killings" of [6,000,000] Jews. According to the group, there is "not evidence" to support "the systematic extermination of six to eight million Jews in concentration camps."

Which is exactly why then-General Dwight D. Eisenhower asked Congress and journalists to visit the camps and take as many photos as possible. 

Ohrdruf concentration camp: the Generals view the dead

Ohrdruf, a subcamp of Buchenwald, was the first Nazi camp Eisenhower visited on April 12, a week after it was liberated by U.S. forces. George S. Patton and Omar Bradley toured the site led by a prisoner familiar with the camp. Numerous corpses were scattered all over the grounds where they were killed prior to the Nazis running away.

A burned out pyre was discovered with the charred remains of prisoners, proof of the SS’s hurried evacuation and attempt to cover their crimes. Evidence of torture was present, and prisoners demonstrated for the generals various torture methods used by the guards. 

In a shed, a pile of roughly 30 emaciated bodies were discovered, sprinkled with lime in an attempt to cover the odor but it was so bad that Patton refused to enter and vomited against the building.

After the camp visit by the generals, Eisenhower ordered all American units nearby that were not engaged in the fighting, to be sent to Ohrdruf. He contacted Gen. George C. Marshall, head of Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, D.C., and requested that members of Congress and journalists be sent to liberated camps to witness and document what they saw.

Another quote from Eisenhower:

The things I saw beggar description. … The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick ... I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to “propaganda.” 

McCloskey's address to IHR members noted his "respect" for "the thesis of this organization." The former congressman also referenced the "so-called Holocaust," adding, "I don't know whether you are right or wrong about the Holocaust."

Pete McCloskey

Figure it out, a-hole.

In 1989 McCloskey cofounded the Council for the National Interest, a nonprofit with a focus on Middle East policy. One former board member, Abdurahman Alamoudi expressed support for Hezbollah and Hamas appearing at an anti-Israel rally in 2000. He was later sentence to 23 years in prison "on charges related to his activities in the United States and abroad with nations and organizations that have ties to terrorism."

Or should we call it "so-called terrorism"?
