Coughlin grew progressively more extreme: Kristallnacht was really the Jews' fault, etc. He supported the Christian Front. Aligned with fascist leaders.
It was eventually primarily in-group action that dealt with the mass media demagogue: Church hierarchy told him no more political broadcasting.

The Father Coughlin story is interesting because of parallels to the modern era. Wildly popular charismatic figure (30M listeners at peak when US had ~120M ppl). Private broadcasters tried to fact-check, pre-clear speeches, ban him while fans protested the censorship. FDR tried to stay out of it.
There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.
