I was skeptical of it too at first, most of the media reporting on it so far are right wing chuds. So everybody is still in denial and assuming it must be some kind of an op.

It's not, it's real, the Speaker invited a man who fought for Nazi Germany into the House, and somehow every layer of the LPC did not remember who fought against the Russians in WW2.

The speaker issued an apology this afternoon.

Complete absolute morons.

Apparently the speaker made the decision without consulting too many people.

This has to be a hit job right. The speaker is a political science major whose worked in politics his whole career. How is this considered a mistake or incompetence because it should be seen as purposefully done I think

It's his own party that's in government, so I'm not sure what the motive would be.

He was probably in college 40 years ago and I'm not sure how much military history is involved in that major, so I don't find it implausible he and a few select staffers wouldn't realise. Going by the ones I've interacted with politicians are salespeople, not academics.
