On Dec. 22, 2024[…]Jake Shields sat down for a cordial interview with Thomas Rousseau[…]
He led members of the white supremacist group Vanguard America at the deadly “Unite the Right” rally[…]
He then asked Rousseau about the right-wing conspiracy that members of Patriot Front are secretly “feds” — or federal agents. Rousseau denied the allegations, telling Shields that the people making them “have an ulterior motive for dismissing nationalism, for dismissing a patriotism that recognizes race and ethnicity”

Shields said that diversity “can cause divides,” but that “realistically there’s no way we’re getting rid of minorities” in America “at this point.” And he asked Rousseau what his “solution” would be to this. In response, Rousseau praised the Immigration Act of 1924[…]
Rousseau said his solution to this would be mass deportations and denaturalization

“So, of course, everybody who’s illegal, you know, out, out, out, out,” he said. “And when you have people who have been naturalized wrongfully, there’s existing laws on the books where, if you lied on your naturalization papers, if you lied about your refugee status, if your documents were forged — and how many people through human trafficking are doing that — they need to be denaturalized”

After asking how U.S. involvement in Israel and Syria helps “your average American,” Rousseau claimed that “a lot” of people “who run the government” are Jews. Shields interrupted, referring to Jews as “dual citizens”[…]
When Rousseau accused the[…](FEMA) of “mishandling the issue,” Shields claimed that a “dual citizen was the head of that”[…]
Shields and Rousseau also attacked the Anti-Defamation League and defended the lynching of Leo Frank[…]
“Look how brave we used to be,” he declared. “They tried bribing some politician to like not — to get rid of his death sentence, but the men back there they marched in, dragged him out of jail, and hung him, you know, with faces out like proudly. The pictures of these guys”
