Photos of Saikat Chakrabarti in a T-shirt with the image of an admirer of Adolf Hitler resurfaced days after Ocasio-Cortez quoted Eva Peron, a figure who was linked to the Nazis via her husband.
Media outlets are again questioning why Saikat Chakrabarti, who serves as chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), wore a T-shirt in a December 2018 video with an image of Subhas Chandra Bose.
Bose was an Indian political figure who admired the Nazis, met with Adolf Hitler and Holocaust-mastermind Heinrich Himmler, and lived in Berlin from 1941 until 1943, during the height of World War II.
Bose was instrumental in founding the Indian Legion, which was eventually transferred to the Nazi Waffen SS unit. Legion members were forced to swear the following oath: “I swear by God this holy oath that I will obey the leader of the German race and state, Adolf Hitler, as the commander of the German armed forces in the fight for India, whose leader is Subhas Chandra Bose.”
Chakrabarti wore the Nazi collaborator T-shirt in a video entitled “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Chief of Staff on Acting Fast in Congress,” posted by NowThis News in December 2018. Images on Twitter also featured Chakrabarti in the T-shirt.
On Tuesday, articles focusing on Chakrabarti’s T-shirt were featured on the Daily Wire, the Washington Free Beacon, and the Washington Examiner.
The images of Chakrabarti reemerged as debate swirls around his boss, Ocasio-Cortez, for her recent reference to “concentration camps” in connection with the United States’ immigrant detention facilities for individuals who enter the country illegally.
Ocasio-Cortez was harshly criticized by some within the Jewish community for appearing to equate U.S. detention centers with camps where the Nazis attempted to commit genocide.
On the heels of her concentration camp comment, Ocasio-Cortez this week quoted on Twitter Eva Perón, wife of Argentinian dictator and Nazi sympathizer Juan Perón.
Juan Perón facilitated Argentina’s emergence as a safe haven for some of the worst Nazi war criminals, including death camp overseer Adolf Eichmann and “Angel of Death” Josef Mengele.
Ocasio-Cortez experienced backlash for her favorable reference to Eva Perón, who has been accused of profiting from Jewish property looted by the Nazis in World War II.
As I was mentioning on the other thread, Bose was not just a collaborator with the Nazis, but himself was a Communist.
Here’s the political faction that he founded:

Couldn’t be more explicitly Communist than having the hammer and sickle on the flag.
Nancy Pelosi should defend these nuts. And, they should respect Speaker Pelosi! Long live the Axis!
Bose collaborated with some of the most criminal regimes in history out of his hatred for the British. Still, radical elements in India have somewhat rehabilitated him there. If Bose is a role model for AOC and her staff, it means she is willing to collaborate with the worst of America's enemies to try to take down America as we know it.
Unfortunately, we’ll never hear about this in the lame stream media.
Indian politicians have to be careful about Bose, who still has admirers in the country. Prime Minister Modi and Rahul Gandhi, of the famous political dynasty, have each paid tribute to Bose recently.
Enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The “Progressives” Are so transparent.
Bkmrk.
Bump
Che t-shirts are pretty much the same thing
I thought it would it would be a picture of George Soros.
Since her COS admires a Nazi admirer, it’s fair to say he admires Nazis and in turn so does she............
Leftist logic is even worse.
Liberal women will end the USA as we know it.
“Media outlets are again questioning...”
Wishful thinking.
“Che t-shirts are pretty much the same thing...”
No, I don’t think so. 99 percent of those are worn burnt out senile hippies reliving what little they can remember of their youth or by pimply wannabes who can’t even name the major combatants of WWII or any five presidents of this country, much less Che’s “place” in history.
This, on the other hand, seems to be quite thoughtful.
Isn’t the barmaid’s chief of staff a inheritor of much money from his family???
#3. You got the wrong end of the horse to describe them.
These a-holes have the gall to call conservatives racist.
