Oregon Right to Life hosts Nazis at annual demonstration
Like, just out in the open. No big deal.
Edited to include additional images that show Nazis moving through the crowd at the anti-abortion demonstration. Also reaction from Oregon Right to Life, along with local press failing to cover.
UPDATE:
Through their Twitter account, Oregon Right to Life responded to the Nazis at the “March for Life:”

When contacted about their coverage of the demonstration, the Statesman Journal explained their decision to not mention the dangerous extremists:
Original Article:
Anti-abortion activists gathered in Salem, OR, on January 28th for their annual March for Life demonstration at the state Capitol building. Not only did this year seem to draw dwindling crowds, but also saw National Socialists freely distributing Nazi propaganda.

Willamette University Professor of History Seth Cotlar’s full thread, for context:



The folks distributing Nazi propaganda indicated that they were welcomed by the anti-abortion crowd.
Different livestreams of the event confirmed that the white nationalists did more than distribute recruitment material and propaganda around the edges of the crowd, they also marched with the crowd as they moved around the Capitol building in Salem.
In the bottom-right portion of each image, you can see the National Socialists moving with the crowd:



Why is this alarming?
Nazis, dude. Nazis openly recruiting and apparently being welcomed by a “pro-life” crowd. This is alarming because Nazis shouldn’t be received warmly by any crowd. It’s a dangerous escalation of publicly mingling extremely dangerous far-right ideology with mainstream conservative causes.
Also, Oregon Right to Life, who puts on this annual march, has huge influence in local politics - specifically school boards.
Hell, here in Salem-Keizer School District we have a candidate running for re-election to school board in May 2023 that has built his political career on Oregon Right to Life cash.
