Back when Germany finally criminalised marital rape, he was one of very few voting against it. He is more conservative than most of his party.
More recently, he invited wanted for war crimes Netanyahu to Germany and thus break Germany from the ICC. His views on how to handle immigration also align with AFD: he and his party did start a motion in parliament to handle immigration (non-binding) and did try to pass a law to limit it, both with the help of the AFD. 2 Years ago, he sparked controversy nationwide by claiming asylum seekers are clogging up all the dentist appointments for Germans.

He is and he has been for a long time. It’s not subtle. Presumably you’re not German?
