The America First Committee was an isolationist group formed in 1940 to keep America out of WWII. It was controversial for some of the anti-Semitic and pro-fascist views held by some of the committee's leaders. It dissolved just days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Although the America First Committee and Father Coughlin both held similar anti-interventionist views on entering the war, the AFC did try to distance itself from Coughlin over his anti-Semitic and pro-Hitler and Mussolini sympathies.
