Why did the press ignore a gathering of the world's leading fascists?

Just before he confirmed his attendance at a neo-fascist summit in Portugal, Gregory Bovino, the former U.S. Border Patrol commander who was once the face of President Donald Trump's mass deportations, posted a photo on X showing himself giving a salute familiar to anyone who has heard of Nazi Germany.

It would be easier to dismiss this Hitlerian greeting as an awkward gesture — as some did when X's owner, Elon Musk, gave it at Trump's 2025 inauguration — were it not selected and shared by a man on his way to a racial-purity conference. The "Remigration Summit 2026," so called, was held May 30 at the Salmanha Residence hotel just south of Porto, Portugal, and its organizers were not subtle.

"Weimar conditions require Weimar solutions," argues Afonso Gonçalves, chief organizer of the event. He's the founder of the far-right group Reconquista, so named for the mass expulsion of Muslims from the Iberian Peninsula. That's who Bovino was photographed standing next to after he landed in Europe.

Martin Sellner, an extremist from Austria, is best known for pushing the "great replacement" conspiracy theory — that Jewish elites are seeking to exterminate the white race via mass migration — that has motivated mass shooters from Pennsylvania to New Zealand. He was the other man standing next to Bovino.

Other speakers included a Belgian fascist convicted of Holocaust denial and the founder of a Swiss neo-Nazi group called "Junge Tat" who is quite open about his fondness for "National Socialism."

1. Now,... now,... now,...

Let's not jump to conclusions. Herr Fuhrer Bovino was only waving to a flock of pigeons flying by. That was not a Nazi salute. Don't be mean.

10. I think it's the same reason they ignore the blatant racism coming from tRump and the GOP. Even if they cover the

racist statements or policies, they refuse to call it racism.

11. That smarmy little turd...

... Bovino thinks he's the new George Lincoln Rockwell. Maybe he's too young to remember what happened to poor Georgie in 1967. May the same fate befall you, Gregory.
