Condemned
Response to this claim
Adolf Hitler can be described in one word as the "GOAT", an acronym for greatest of all time.
“But there is no place for the horrific ideology of the Nazi Party.”

Why we used this label
The reference point is Franco Guardiani's reply on X calling Adolf Hitler the GOAT and his related posts about Hitler and the Holocaust, with One Nation's decision to drop him as the response. Lambert calls on One Nation to disendorse Guardiani and says there is no place for the horrific ideology of the Nazi Party, which condemns the posts. His remark that conservative concerns have a place in Victorian politics separates those views from the posts and does not qualify the condemnation.
One Nation Victoria dropped Preston candidate Franco Guardiani after his reply on X calling Adolf Hitler the GOAT circulated. Leader Warren Pickering said the party was appalled; Guardiani confirmed the posts, called it a fair call and cited free speech.
