The viral spread of a recent podcast episode featuring Nazi apologia and a defense of the Holocaust highlights a disturbing trend in American alternative media of growing antisemitism, Holocaust denial or minimization, and pro-Nazi commentary, advocates say.

“How do we take the Jews down?” one host on the self-described “Men’s podcast” Fresh and Fit asked, speaking to fellow panelists in an episode that garnered widespread social media attention in recent days.

“We gotta kill the motherf*****s,” another guest chimed in. “My bad ya’ll,” she added.

In the episode of the show, which has since been removed from streaming platforms, co-hosts Myron Gaines and Walter Weekes, who go by the monikers “Fit” and “Fresh,” respectively, centered on a conversation about the Nazi regime, the causes of the Holocaust, and “taking down” the Jews.

Sacha Roytman, Chief Executive Director of the Combat Antisemitism Movement, argues that the “surge of Jew-hatred in alternative media spaces is not spontaneous” and that it can inspire violence if not checked.
