He came out in the first video and said he's against racists in the military. Sounds to me lime he is simply against giving Nationalism a bad name. People want to lump white supremists and racists all under the umbrella of Nationalism along with people who consider themselves nationalists because they are patriotic Americans who want to put their country first. The left is trying to make some argument that if your a nationalist it automatically means your'e some sort of close minded radical.... They do this so that they can simplify the narrative for their political ambitions, again, redefining terms of who is who so that they cant pit people against each other.
Now if the leftist news media starts calling someone a nationalist over and over again, that will automatically click with those who are told that nationalism = RAcist.
Some of those Democrats have a very weird mind set. i remember right after Sept 11, I remember them purposely NOT wearing U.S. flag lapel pins.... for the fear that it would show they were TOO patriotic and it would be seen as an act of aggression towards muslims.... who they were afraid were going to receieve a backlash from ..guess who? White nationalists. They thought if you put a flag lapel pin on your shirt at the time that you were some knuckle dragging moron who fell for the whole patriotism shtick ...and. they were the enlightened ones!
Not much has changed except that they have gained more power and been able to control the narative even more since then..IMO.
