Rep. Nadler Denounces Neo-Nazi Band Set to Perform in Manhattan


WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY-08) today issued the following statement in response to the planned performance of the Neo-Nazi Croatian rock star, Marko Perkovic, also known as Thompson, in Manhattan next month:

“The glorification of anti-Semitism, fascism and the Holocaust by Thompson is abhorrent.  While Thompson is entitled to his prejudiced and misguided views, the Croatian Center did not have to provide him with a platform to spread his hateful messages.  I am proud to join the chorus of concerned citizens and organizations that are already speaking out against his planned performance.”
