About that “Fascism Forever” club that Judge Neil Gorsuch set up in high school…
Well, that never happened.
Many, including actor George Takei, ran with the “scoop” that President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee once headed up the club to counter the liberal faculty at his Jesuit all-boys preparatory high school near Washington D.C.

The Daily Mail reports that Gorsuch founded a “Facism Forever” club while in high school. Quite disturbing if true. https://t.co/NQHyfBucmo

No, Neil #Gorsuch didn’t start a ‘fascism forever’ club at his Jesuit prep school. My story: https://t.co/UXrPSszA47

Apparently, Gorsuch was “routinely teased, accused of being ‘a conservative fascist'” by mostly center-left friends and faculty at the school, according to America Magazine.

Known to be fiercely conservative at Georgetown Prep School, #Gorsuch joked in yearbook he founded and led “Fascism Forever Club” pic.twitter.com/zrZZ53iP4I

According to America Magazine:
When it came time to write his senior biography for the yearbook, he would make light of the divide between his conservative political beliefs and those of the more liberal faculty and students.
He wrote that he founded and led the “Fascism Forever Club,” though those with knowledge of the school back in the 1980s say there was no such club. The mention of it in the yearbook was a tongue-in-cheek attempt to poke fun at liberal peers who teased him about his fierce conservatism.
A history teacher at Georgetown Prep, and student government advisor during Gorsuch’s junior and senior years, said it was “a total joke.”

“There was no club at a Jesuit school about young fascists,” Steve Ochs told America. “The students would create fictitious clubs; they would have fictitious activities. They were all inside jokes on their senior pages.”
So, just to clarify, there was no “Fascism Forever” club.
