In a recent speech, far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders called immigrants from Morocco "scum".
Yes, you read that correctly.
For years, Wilders has been known for his hatred towards Muslims and immigrants. In his speech, which launched his election campaign, he also said that he wanted to make the Netherlands "ours again".
The hate speech took place in the middle of Rotterdam, an area known for its multicultural diversity.
While many media outlets still tend to describe Wilders as a "right-wing populist", his recent verbal outrage once again proved that he is nothing less than a fascist politician.
