If they used the "verified user" for it's intended purpose "This account/person is who they claim to be" then I'm fine with Neo-Nazis getting the verified user checkmark. The problem is Twitter doesn't "verify" people equally. There should be a process that is the same for "Donald Trump," "Kim Kardassian West," and "My child's fifth grade teacher." Since they can't or won't do that, becoming verified also involves a bit of Wikipedia's Notable policy. Except that it seems to favor high-traffic accounts. (So no checkmark for my kid's teacher, but yes checkmark for neo-Nazis.) So now they aren't really "verfiying" users, they're just rewarding high-traffic users that are notable.
