The IDS Tower looks almost as good as the first day it opened like 50 years ago. I don't care about the architect's personal politics or beliefs. He built a fabulous building that will be here long after we're gone.

I am surprised the reporter did not mention Charles Lindbergh meeting Goering! Oh he does mention Lindbergh's name off the terminal!

This stuff has been well-known for decades. It should invite a shrug, not a shriek. Philip Johnson abandoned his pro-fascist sympathies in due time. And in any event, his political views had nothing to do with his long and brilliant career as an architect. I'm sure the "researchers" who dug into his career thought that they had discovered gold. What's next? Should IDS Center be renamed George Floyd Center?

So what? The dude has been dead for awhile now. Do you wanna cancel his contributions to the world, just because at one time he held some stupid beliefs and opinions? And what do you propose we do about this most agreegiius sin? This is ridiculous. Fake out rage. Fake virtue signaling.

Johnson was a very great architect.

And this is a gay reporter doing this?

From Wiki: "After the United States entered World War II in December 1941, Johnson enlisted in the Army. He was investigated by the FBI for his contacts with the German government and his support for Coughlin, who opposed American intervention in the war, but he was cleared for service and entered the army. He spent his army service during the war in the United States.[3][14]"

From Wiki: "In 1936, in the depths of the Great Depression, he left the Museum of Modern Art for a brief venture into journalism and politics. He was a Nazi sympathizer[6][5][9][10] and supported the populist Governor of Louisiana Huey Long and Father Charles Coughlin. Johnson traveled to Germany and Poland as a correspondent for Coughlin's radically populist and often anti-Semitic newspaper Social Justice. In the newspaper, Johnson expressed, as The New York Times later reported, "more than passing admiration for Hitler".[3] Johnson observed the Nuremberg Rallies in Germany and, sponsored by the German government, covered the invasion of Poland in 1939. Many years later he told his biographer, Franz Schulze, "You simply could not fail to be caught up in the excitement of it, by the marching songs, by the crescendo and climax of the whole thing, as Hitler came on at last to harangue the crowd", and told of being thrilled at the sight of "all those blond boys in black leather" marching past the Führer.[8]:89-90 Schulze dismissed these early political activities as inconsequential, concluding they merited "little more substantial attention than they have gained" and his politics "were driven as much by an unconquerable esthetic impulse as by fascist philosophy or playboy adventurism".[8]:144;146"

theres a sad irony to this story that the "reporter" doesnt get. and no, its not about mr johnson.

Let's get rid of the names Yale and Stanford - known racists. Rename those schools. My suggestion is Malcolm X University.

Minneapolis city council promotes national socialist ideology...this is proof!

So he was anti-capitalist like Hitler and the Nazis. The one guy here calls the Nazis right-wing. Actually they were left-wing.

Hey 9 do a on nazi supporter HENRY FORD
