More: During the debate"which has been viewed almost 4 million times on YouTube alone"Connor said he believes in "autocracy" and was asked by Hasan if he's a fan of the Nazis. "I, frankly, don't care being called a Nazi at all," Connor answered.

Connor, who identified himself as a Catholic, also complained that the Nazis "persecuted the church a little bit." Asked about the Nazis' persecution of Jews specifically, Connor added: "I certainly don't support anyone's human dignity being assaulted."

"There was a little bit of persecution and stuff like that, which is bad," he added, when Hasan pressed him on Jewish persecution again.

"We may have to rename this show," Hasan said, "Because you're a little bit more than a far-right Republican."

"Hey, what can I say?" Connor replied with a smile. When Hasan suggested Connor could describe himself as a "fascist," Connor said: "Yeah, I am," before laughing maniacally and receiving applause from others in the debate.
