Nathan sparked public outrage after posting pro-Nazi and pro-Hitler comments on X, labelling Hitler as a “hero” and praising the Nazi invasion of Poland. In one viral post, Nathan wrote:
“The Nazis were protecting the west by invading Poland. The Reich was a blockade against the USSR… Hitler is a Hero.”

“The kid clearly needs help, not internet fame.”

“Why is X allowing these kinds of posts to stay up?”
