“This is the same idea that Hitler pushed about Jews, that these people were alien to the nation and that there was this global conspiracy for Jews to destroy the nation… That is precisely what these ‘Great Replacement politicians’ are pushing now.” In this episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,’ Mehdi Hasan sits down with historian Ibram X. Kendi to debunk a neo-Nazi conspiracy theory that Donald Trump and MAGA are using to reshape politics and policy across the US. Kendi also discusses his new book, ‘Chain of Ideas,’ as he explains the Great Replacement theory and how the Trump administration is continuing its violent crackdown on immigrants. Kendi also notes how the Great Replacement theory is impacting the UK, who is behind the popularization of it and how it has motivated violence in recent times.
