Sweden Democrat Richard Jomshof likens Aftonbladet's political editor to Quisling

Richard Jomshof, one of the four who took over the Sweden Democrats in 1995, posted on X an image of Aftonbladet political editor Anders Lindberg next to Vidkun Quisling, writing that the man on the left is Quisling and the man on the right is a quisling. Lindberg said he read the post as close to a death threat, recalling that Quisling was executed, while Social Democrat leader Magdalena Andersson called the statement deeply un-Swedish. Party leader Jimmie Åkesson conceded that Jomshof had put it provocatively but accused the opposition of feigned shock, and Jomshof then called Andersson a quisling as well.
