Former Republican Leader of the House John Boehner has claimed there are “Nazis” serving in Congress

“We’ve got some of the smartest people in America who serve in the Congress, and we’ve got some of the dumbest”, Mr Boehner said. “We have some of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet, and some that are Nazis”.

The Ohio Republican and former Speaker of the House talked candidly about his former congressional colleagues in a lengthy article.

White supremacists, some of them organized under the broad label of the “alt-right”, have been increasingly vocal and public in advancing their nationalist vision. Former White House adviser Stephen Bannon, who helped manage Mr Trump’s campaign and for months served as a top aide before stepping down, has returned to his role managing Breitbart News, which he once proclaimed a “platform for the alt-right”.

In August, protesters including the KKK and Neo-Nazis marched on Charlottesville, Virginia to demonstrate against the removal of a statue of confederate general Robert E Lee. After a car plowed into a crowd of counterprotestors, killing a woman, Mr Trump faced widespread criticism for saying there was "blame on both sides". That led Rep Maxine Waters, a California Democrat and fierce antagonist of Mr Trump, to call the White House the “White Supremacists' House.”

Boehner needs to name names.

Louie Gohmert (aka the dumbest man in congress)
There are a few others who've made comments recently that would make me think they are definitely in that category, but their names escape me.

Our representative (Andy Harris) can't even manage to be a competent Nazi; he's just a creep.

I thought it was Hank "Guam is going to capsize" Johnson. Of course, the dumbest person of either gender, by a wide margin, is Sheila "did the Mars rover find the flag that Neil Armstrong planted there" Jackson "today, there are two Vietnams living side by side" Lee.
