Coughlin in US Politics
Father Charles Coughlin began his radio career during the beginning of the Great Depression, though at the beginning he spoke to his listeners about the Lord, but made the swap to speaking more about politics not long after the start of his programs. Coughlin was critical of the Hoover administration because of how they have failed to help the American people and how they support modern capitalist and the "big banking Jews." He has expressed heavy anti-Syndicalist and anti-Semitic and even racist views at times, putting him against Jack Reed, Elizabeth Flynn, and other supporters of the CSA. Coughlin was an avid supporter of Huey Long and a proud member of the America First Party has helped by holding rallies in swing states like Missouri and Virginia. After President-Elect Long's victory in the the 1936 election, Father Coughlin was appointed as the Secretary of State for the incoming Long Administration.
