Katja Hoyer on Germany's AFD and the Limits of Calling Someone a Nazi
Today on The Gist, the Texas Democrats' walk-out, a dramatic gesture that ultimately did little because they never had the leverage to win. From there he zooms out to Europe, where far-right parties are suddenly topping polls in France, the UK, and now Germany. Historian Katja Hoyer joins to explain what's behind the AFD's rise and why calling them "Nazis" isn't scaring voters away the way it once did. In the spiel, Trump meets Putin in a summit that's long on spectacle but pretty short on substance, which may be exactly how both of them like it.
