A greatcoat worn by the senior US border patrol official Gregory Bovino, who has spearheaded aggressive immigration operations across the country, has raised eyebrows in German media with some commentators saying it resembled a fascist aesthetic.
Bovino has been an increasingly recognisable figure during the raids in Minneapolis for the brass-buttoned, calf-length olive green coat, which is unlike the fatigues and body armor worn by many of the federal agents.
Along with his close-shorn haircut, the media organization Der Spiegel suggested in a video feature that Bovino’s look recalled that of a Nazi officer.

Because it is.
Actually, the uniformed ones look a lot like German BFE cops. Present, not in 1933, that is. They do, however, have a certain reputation of not being too left-leaning.
I think they mean: if a Nazi is wearing the coat, it is a Nazi coat.
Came to say this, although it’s absolutely an intentional likeness, it could be a clown coat, still on a Nazi, that’s a Nazi coat.
We don’t have to guess we know they are Nazis.
The important thing to note here is that Germany, a country that has been cucked by America for over 50 years, is openly talking shit of the highest degree (non-racist Germans take their anti-Nazi stance very seriously, it’s a big part of the culture). Living in the West in such interesting times is a bit concerning, lol.
Dear Germany, how’d you get corporate money out of your government?
It’s simple actually. “Money donations” are not “freedom of expression” like in the US, there are very limited amounts that individuals may donate to political parties, anything above is corruption. This is the general rule across Europe. You don’t want your democracy for sale, you don’t allow it to be bought.
Yes, it’s like that now. But what did you do to get there? While corruption was rampant in Germany and there was practically a marriage between corporations and government.
Lots of wars. And germany still has a lot of corruption.
We didn’t, and it isn’t even necessarily our own corporations’ money.
Do they though? (No.) Israel is nazi, they cover for Israel. Fuck Germany.
Always a good sign when the Germans think you dress like a Nazi, notwithstanding the current governments rhetoric and actions.
They are carrying out fascist pogroms due to fascist beliefs, dressed like nazis. And the major media even in Germany can only muster saying “they look like nazis.”

More likely he got it from one of those made up Amazon brands

Temu Nazi
…if the Germans are saying you have a ’ nazi look’…
He couldn’t seem like more of a nazi with a red arm band and a dueling scar.
The US media is such shit that they can’t report it themselves, they have to report a foreign media reporting it.
Was it not obvious? I feel like even if you’re not German, you probably know what a little bitch cosplaying as a WWII Nazi looks like.
He looks like the gym teacher from Beavis and Butthead. Coach Buzzcut

“Hey every woman that ever rejected me, bet you’re regretting it now. What am I up to? Just leading an illiterate army that targets and harms civilian women and children by order of a pedophile and convicted rapist. Look at my lil Nazi duster.” 🥴
They all look like a bunch of people cosplaying, badly.
With 200 billion dollars in the bank.
800 billion…
200 billion. The military got 1 trillion.
You’ll be beating the fuck out of people to get guns, if ya ain’t buying guns now
Bingo.
Anyone who somehow still seriously doesn’t get that these people are absolute gas chamber enthusiasts
is a fucking dunce.

Somebody knows where Mr Gestapo lives…
Yeah, its readily apparent. It will finally look good on him when he goebbels his way away.
Reminds me of someone else:

I mean, that’s probably why he wears it. He very clearly likes the Nazi aesthetic and seems to enjoy looking like one.
For comparison, here’s a photo of Heinrich Himmler (Chief of the SS and Gestapo) and Richard Heydrich (Police chief):

This guy? No way.
Nope, nothing in common with the SS.

Edit: This photo was published by CNN on Oct. 8th. It took the Germans only 3.5 months to realize he might be a Nazi.
Nah, we knew. And not just from his outfit.
This is the referenced video:
spiegel.de/…/gregory-bovino-auftritt-des-ice-komm…
Btw. It just says people on social media have likened the outfit to Nazis.
Ofc, now they can say they never called him a Nazi, the Internet did.
It’s mostly so that it’s news and not a mere opinion piece. I don’t think they fear retribution.
Could not understand how to reject cookies, so I will not be visiting that site. 💀
He’s been filmed flashing HH Nazi salutes to his goons on downtime from terrorizing innocent citizens. He IS a full blown Nazi.
He’s a tiny little fella who feels like a big boy in his floppy coat. He is dangerous as well.
Okay, but let’s also notice this specimen of athletic supremacy over here.

Savage.
No need to hate on the short kings out there, friend.
(And before someone misinterprets this, I mean short kings in general. Not these ICE motherfuckers who can eat a dick.)
Agreed. You hate on their attributes, you hate on others with same attributes. Let’s keep it real and hate on their attitudes and opinions instead, and their piece of shit-ness.
<discounted>
That tiny little bitch of a man is 100% wanting to invoke a particular aesthetic.
Nothing would please him more than to be compared to his heroes.
There’s no way that’s standard issue, right? This guy is larping as a Nazi. What a sad little chucklefuck he is.
Fucking Temu Nazi.
The thing is: The original Nazis had style (believe me: I have pictures of my grandfather that - if you leave the whole genocide thing aside - simply look cool), those cosplayers in that rogue British colony? Not so much.
