WASHINGTON — One lazy, sultry afternoon in 1947, two years after America helped trounce the Nazis, my father arrived at our family’s modest summer house on the Severn River near the Naval Academy.

He had come from his job as a police detective in D.C., still wearing his suit and his service revolver.

The town, Herald Harbor, Md., had its share of “old country hicks,” as Martin called them. It had been founded in 1924 by The Washington Herald, a newspaper owned by William Randolph Hearst. The Herald gave one of the first cottages to Margaret Gorman, a vivacious curly-haired 5-foot-1 Washington teenager who had gone to Atlantic City in 1921, sponsored by the paper, and won a beauty pageant.

I’m not sure when the connection first came to me. But I think it was probably around the time Obama had won the 2008 election. Can’t find any older than 2011 yet, though.

Kessler voted for Obama twice, so if Nazis are in Obama’s corner then Trump is free of this.

Kessler is fishy. No one votes for Obama twice and then becomes a white racist supremacist on they say so of Trump. Not buying his authenticity.

Videos (albeit secondhand) are out saying that the Nazis and BLM people were basically on the same bus lines.
