Laut Verfassungsschutz gibt es in Deutschland 58.700 Rechtsextremisten. Von denen sind 28.000 Mitglied der AfD. Das bedeutet: Knapp jeder zweite Rechtsextremist in Deutschland hat einen AfD-Mitgliedsausweis! Und andersrum: 40% aller AfD-ler sind Rechtsextremisten! https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/verfassungsschutz-bericht-extremismus-100.html
