Neo-Nazi explains why group rallies behind Taylor Swift: She is an 'Aryan goddess'

WASHINGTON, May 26 (UPI) -- A Neo-Nazi claimed in a recent interview that singer Taylor Swift is a closeted fascist, and is waiting for Donald Trump to take office to announce her agenda.

Speaking to pop culture website Broadly, Andre Anglin, writer of a white supremacist blog, claimed Swift is "a pure Aryan goddess, like something out of classical greek poetry. Athena reborn. That's the most important thing."

"It is also an established fact that Taylor Swift is secretly a Nazi and is simply waiting for the time when Donald Trump makes it safe for her to come out and announce her Aryan agenda to the world. Probably she will be betrothed to Trump's son, and they will be crowned American royalty," he said.

A plethora of Nazi-related memes featuring Swift's face have circulated on the Internet for several years, to the point where the singer's attorney demanded that Pinterest take them down. The request was reportedly not honored.

"The association of Ms. Swift with Adolf Hitler undisputedly is 'harmful,' 'abusive,' 'ethnically offensive,' 'humiliating to other people,' 'libelous,' and no doubt 'otherwise objectionable.' It is of no import that Ms. Swift may be a public figure or that Pinterest conveniently now argues that the Offending Material is mere satire or parody," the attorney reportedly said at the time.

"Public figures have rights. And, there are certain historical figures, such as Adolf Hitler, Charles Manson and the like, who are universally identified in the case law and popular culture as lightning rods for emotional and negative reaction," their statement added.

Taylor Swift's representatives have yet to comment on Broadly's article.
