Unfortunately, it’s true. From ABCNews (of all sources) - see last paragraph...
Interesting, thanks for the link. Did you ever see the Italian Fascists version of “We the Living” by Ayn Rand? They took her novel and turned it into a movie, unauthorized of course. Well, when Ayn viewed it she stated that it was about as close as she could have done herself to portray the novel.
Of course, the Fascists thought the novel was celebrating Fascism with the heroin’s death. In reality, the book is a warning of the dangers of Fascism. Now we have legislatures being proud of feeling like a “Fascist.” If you enjoy feeling like a fascist, then you are a Fascist!
