Charles Lindbergh and "American First"

Excerpts from Lindbergh’s speech:                  

"The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish [sic] and the Roosevelt Administration." “We cannot blame them for looking out for what they believe to be their own interests, but we also must look out for ours. We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our country to destruction.”

"Instead of agitating for war, Jews in this country should be opposing it in every way, for they will be the first to feel its consequences. The greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government. No person with a sense of the dignity of mankind can condone the persecution of the Jewish race in Germany. But no person of honesty and vision can look on their pro-war policy here today without seeing the dangers involved in such a policy both for us and for them. Instead of agitating for war, the Jewish groups in this country should be opposing it in every possible way for they will be among the first to feel its consequences.”
