Activist with neo-Nazi ties fronts Marco Rubio-linked anti-immigration effort

The rightwing activist #Nate #Hochman
-- who was fired last yearby the Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, for employing #neo-#Nazi imagery in a campaign video
--is now the face of a #Marco #Rubio-linked thinktank’s efforts to spread anti-immigrant panic from Ohio to Pennsylvania.

Videos featuring Hochman recorded in #Charleroi, Pennsylvania, have been boosted on X by a range of #rightwing figures including the platform’s owner, the tech billionaire Elon #Musk.

In recent days Hochman, 26, has recorded several videos on location in Charleroi for "America 2100", a rightwing group where he is an adviser, according to his biographies on X and at websites where he has published articles.

Hochman is also a staff writer and podcaster at the rightwing website the "American Spectator", where his recent output has mostly consisted of anti-immigrant messaging.

Like Springfield in Ohio, Charleroi has attracted a community of Haitian migrants.

The borough manager, Jim Manning, told CBS News on Wednesday that immigrants including Haitians “have been a benefit to the town”.

He added: “They come here. They buy property. They open businesses. They work here. They pay taxes. So for us, at the end of the day, it has been a benefit.”

Hochman has so far only recorded interviews with older white residents of the town, who have variously complained that the newcomers do not speak English and that migrants have taken “American jobs”.

One interviewee appears to concede that the Haitians are in Charleroi legally but dismisses the importance of that fact.

“The perception is that it’s not legal,” the interviewee says at one point. “Now, you get a lot of people saying they’re illegals and everyone wants to fight about that term, but it doesn’t really matter.”
