Old but relevant article from 2019 about how “America First” Republicans were opposed to US involvement in WW2. Some GOP (including Charles Lindbergh) believed in allying with Nazi Germany against Asians and Jews.
“Urging listeners to close ranks with Germany in a common struggle against “Asiatic intruders”—Russians, Persians, Turks and Jews—who would defile America’s “most priceless possession: our inheritance of European blood,” Lindbergh tapped into a deep well of popular nativism. It was a theme he hammered relentlessly from his perch as a spokesman for the America First Committee.”

Funny, it wasn't just republicans who were like Lindbergh. Joseph Kennedy Sr. wanted appeasement with Nazi Germany. He also wanted to meet with Hitler and went outside of the State Department to try to arrange a meeting.

With Lindbergh, his rhetoric was such that he couldn't be sent to Europe on USO stops/ morale boosters. So , the Government had him go to the South Pacific to do some appearances.
The Bund was a big concern at the beginning of WWII as well as before. They had Filled Madison Square Garden for a convention.
So, the Government couldn't bench Lindy, but they could send him to the Pacific.
