Trump disavows ‘alt-right’ supporters

Trump’s racist supporters know a mild statement like that is the equivalent of calling a naughty dog over for a hug.

Spencer said Saturday that the alt-right has a “psychic connection” with Trump. He runs a little known think tank called the National Policy Institute. “Hail victory!” he shouted as members of the audience leapt to their feet applauding, with several making prolonged Hitler salutes. Mr Trump’s election was “ultimately about white people voting for him”. It is true they did say in the editorial’s title that they “will no longer describe racists as ‘alt-right,'” and that “Use of the term ‘alt-right, ‘ by concealing overt racism, makes that [reporter’s] job harder, ” and that “We won’t do racists” public relations work for them” in using “alt-right” instead of “racist”. “However, he totally disavows the support of this group, which he does not want or need”.

According to the New York Times’s Mike Grynbaum, the paper’s executive editor, Dean Baquet, asked Trump if he felt he had done anything to energize the movement that his adviser Steve Bannon had championed during a meeting with editorial staff on Tuesday.

But Oren Segal, director of the Anti-Defamation League, says Trump needed to do it sooner. To that end, Breitbart has published a seemingly critical story about Trump’s decision not to pursue bogus charges against Hillary Clinton for emails that have been thoroughly investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which turned up nothing. And we just don’t have the luxury for that. “That’s offensive to American soldiers”, Martin said of the Nazi salutes.

The Anti-Defamation League released a statement on Wednesday saying it was “concerned” about Spencer’s planned speech and urged people not to attend the event. “I disavowed the KKK, ” he added.

“I’m not a white nationalist, I’m a nationalist”.

“When is it going to be enough?”

Earlier on Tuesday, Mr Trump’s spokeswoman said he would not follow up on a campaign pledge to pursue a further inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s emails. That’s not the kind of people he wants to be associated with. “Do you want me to do it again for the 12th time?”. He has made his position clear. “That’s not his focus”.

“We are the platform for the alt-right”, Bannon said of Breitbart during July’s Republican National Convention. “But Breitbart really is a news organization that’s become quite successful, and it’s got readers and it does cover subjects that are on the right, but it covers subjects on the left also”.

Donald Trump himself affirmed that disavowal on 22 November 2016. “I wouldn’t even think about hiring him”. “I think there is some common ground there”. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Bannon claimed, “I’m not a white nationalist, I’m a nationalist”.

Civil rights groups called on President-elect Donald Trump on Monday to publicly condemn extremist movements that are espousing racism in his name after hundreds of white nationalist sympathizers spent the weekend in Washington debating ways to preserve white culture.

Spencer offered a counter-suggestion to Martin and viewers: “You’ve dealt with a bunch of guilt-ridden silly Whites all your life and we are waking up”. He’s been banned from parts of Europe for trying to organize there. “It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us”. In terms of looking at all of these CEOs – a lot of these are older people, they’re from a generation that comes from a very different population.

Mike Cernovich, who is described by the New Yorker as “the meme mastermind of the ALT-right” and a “troll”, slammed Spencer after the Heil Trump incident, saying “this is what controlled opposition looks like”.

According to TP, “A white nationalist refers to a specific ideology held by many of those who adopt the “alt-right” label”, and believes America was meant to be governed by and for white people, and that national policy should exist exclusively to “radically advance white interests”.
