Far-Left Podcaster Claims She'd Support 'Secret Nazis' If They Vote Right

Jul 18 2026

Emma Vigeland, a far-left podcaster, stirred controversy with her outrageous claim that she would support candidates with “Nazi” skeletons in their closets as long as they vote correctly.

Vigeland, who co-hosts The Majority Report With Sam Seder, made her comments during a Vox podcast, dismissing concerns over personal character in favor of political platforms.

“I am wary of over-focusing on an individual’s personal character over their platform,” she stated. “I don’t really care if say like Bernie Sanders or AOC go home and they’re a secret Nazi, but they go out and they vote for the right things.”

Vigeland’s extreme example drew a sharp response from Vox host Astead Herndon, who questioned her indifference. She insisted that the representation of a party’s platform, such as “taxing billionaires” and “bringing material differences to people’s lives,” outweighs individual conduct.

“How many horrible people are in Washington right now who are centrist or center-right?” she added, further emphasizing her point.

Herndon countered that many voters consider moral character essential for office, but Vigeland retorted that critics of Graham Platner’s political downfall also supported figures like former President Bill Clinton and ex-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, both accused of sexual misconduct.

The backlash on social media was swift and brutal. One user posted an image of Vigeland in a Schutzstaffel uniform, declaring, “In the 1940s, Emma Vigeland would have volunteered to the SS.”

Another critic condemned socialism and communism as a “dark road,” pointing out that the party platform includes radical proposals like abolishing the US Senate and dismantling federal law enforcement branches.

“It is sold to the people with false claims and utilizing those base instincts that are powerful but difficult to manage in a civil society,” the critic added.

Vigeland’s remarks come amid years of socialist and far-left groups labeling conservatives and Trump supporters as “fascists,” a term rooted in the political movement established by Benito Mussolini, an ally of Adolf Hitler during World War II.

Fox News Digital attempted to reach Vigeland through her Majority Report program for comment.
