Photos show OSU student govt. rep making Nazi salute, waving swastika flag

Andew Oswalt, a student government representative at Oregon State University facing a recall over his inflammatory views, marched with white power proponents in Portland, delivered Nazi salutes to cars traveling on Interstate 5 and appears to have stood with a swastika flag outside the home of a man who advocates the extermination of Jewish people last year.

Photos of Oswalt doing all those things appeared this week on the website of the Pacific Northwest Antifascist Workers Collective, a group comprised of unnamed antifa activists from Oregon and Washington.

Oswalt didn't dispute the photos Thursday.

"Germar Rudolf did nothing wrong," he wrote in an email to The Oregonian/OregonLive, referring to a chemist and Holocaust denier sentenced to prison by a German court in 1995 for inciting racial hatred. He provided no additional comment.
