Unfortunately, it's true. Lindbergh was an "America First" -er (isolationist) who made speeches against President Roosevelt and "the Jews" who were trying to drag us into World War II. He also visited Nazi Germany in the mid-Thirties, and made a number of statements praising the Nazi regime, including expressions of admiration for their racial and eugenics policies. To some extent, Lindbergh later redeemed himself by flying combat missions in the Pacific (as a civilian technical adviser, he had resigned his Army Air Corps Reserve commission in protest over Franklin Roosevelt's attempts to get us involved in WWII).

Thank you for providing this information. In the US History reading I've accomplished I've never read this before. Did you obtain this info from a *specific* source...and if so, could you share the source? Thank you kindly.

What's wrong with the America First movement?

who made speeches against President Roosevelt and "the Jews" who were trying to drag us into World War II.

And he was factually correct on both points.

The other stuff about him being an anti-semite is unsubstantiated libel generated by taking this great patriot's words out of context.
