“…Rulli is an Italian surname and Emmer a German one. I am a historian…that the exact same kind of nativist nonsense was spewed by earlier generations of Americans who had last names like Emmer and Rulli…German-Americans were actually the first group of immigrants who sparked a serious panic…”
Kevin M. KruseIn recent weeks, congressmen like Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) and Rep. Michael Rulli (R-OH) have leveled racist attacks against immigrant communities in their districts. As I note in CAMPAIGN TRAILS, a century ago those same racist attacks were being made against people named Emmer and Rulli.
