For explanation: Boogaloo movement, "Neo-Nazis use the number 88 as an abbreviation for the Nazi salute Heil Hitler.[11] The letter H is eighth in the alphabet, whereby 88 becomes HH.[12] "

Yes, I simplified for the sake of brevity. But you're reading a lot into their comments that just isn't there. Yes they were running interference for a nazi (and not making a particularly compelling case) but there's nothing to indicate it was intentional. (It's not a strawman argument either btw, unless you're claiming they intentionally ignored the boogaloo reference rather than just not knowing about them.)

Edit: Also I don't think not making assumptions about someone's motivations is the same thing as 'putting faith' in them.
