The leader of the Austrian Freedom Party says he met with Trump’s NSA adviser in December.

An Austrian right-wing party founded by Nazis sent a delegation to Washington, D.C. this week for a series of political discussions.

“There is a series of invitations to talks with interesting political representatives of the United States on the sidelines of the US president’s inauguration on our packed schedule,” Heinz-Christian Strache, leader of the Freedom Party, said recently.

Strache’s itinerary is unclear. His delegation was pictured with Rep. Steve King (R-IA) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) Thursday evening, though there is no indication whether or not they will be in attendance at the inauguration.

One right-wing figure who will be at the inauguration, though, is Nigel Farage, former leader of the U.K. Independence Party and a key figure in pushing for Britain’s split from the European Union.

Farage was invited to attend the inauguration by Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R). Farage also threw an inauguration party Thursday night in honor of Trump’s ascent to power, the Guardian reported.

Cavorting with Nazis and posting selfies and group shots on the internets with them. This is not and never will be normal. BTW, Michele Bachmann is in the picture with them as well with King and Blackburn.

2. Rachel tried to sound this alarm for a year.

The Nazi party, the KKK, the white supremacist movement is in the White House.

This is our government now.

Steve Bannon is the man, and Donald Trump is more than willing to do the bidding of the racists.

We need to understand this is WHY many who voted for him, did so. They WANT this.
