Videos voiced by Nate Hochman tout conspiracy theories about McKinsey and have elements of fascist rhetoric

A Marco Rubio-linked thinktank stoking fears about Haitian migrants in Pennsylvania has also produced a sequence of videos in recent months that promote conspiracy theories about LGBTQ+ people, human rights organizations and even the corporate consultancy McKinsey & Company.

The editor hired to produce those videos also produces for the media organization founded by Mike Lindell, the MyPillow chief and prominent election-denier who is a close ally of the former US president Donald Trump.

The videos and the ongoing campaign against Haitians – which follows a similar effort in Springfield, Ohio, that has caused chaos in the midwestern city – raise questions about the increasingly extreme political rhetoric used in Republican circles. Two experts told the Guardian that the ads contained elements of fascist rhetoric.
