You're papering over explicit anti-semitism that's being celebrated by neo-Nazis who are gleefully quoting him and claiming him as one of their own and by doing so affirming that his statements are antisemitic. You can offer as many charitable excuses as you like, but from here that is not a good look at all, and my version of good guys doesn't include those who pick up neo-Nazi fan clubs gleefully quoting them and claiming by their words that they are members of the same ideological group.
