Trump insists Bannon has no allegiance to alt-right

“Certainly not after Richard Spencer saying ‘Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!’ and people in the audience doing the nazi salute”, one post read.

The alt-right is composed mainly of white male millennials with a college education, according to according to George Hawley, a political scientist at the University of Alabama, who is writing a book about the alt-right movement.

As Donald Trump continues to assemble an incoming White House administration that includes men who have been repeatedly described as “White nationalists” and “racists”, one of his most disliked appointees is speaking out to say he welcomes the backlash with open arms.

Meanwhile, on the internet, members of the “alt-right” expressed their views on Trump’s disavowal. The protest was organized by the American Jewish activist group If Not Now, which spread word about the event on Facebook. And if Bannon were “alt-right”, he would never have considered hiring him.

“[Bannon] believes that by giving them visibility, it diminishes their credibility and support because people see how disgusting, how racist, how hateful these people are”, Klein said. His ex-wife later accused him of anti-Semitism – charges he strongly denies.

It is a “United” States of America that Mr. Trump has said he wants to lead. I’m not looking to energize them.

If you want to represent the people of your district and around the country, speak up now and denounce Trump’s appointment of this known white supremacist and domestic abuser.

Rather says he hopes Trump can see the “dangers brewing” but adds he’s deeply anxious “that his selections of advisors and cabinet posts suggests otherwise”.

While members of the movement are getting more attention than ever, the head of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism said Tuesday that there is not much new in its message. Some Jewish groups softened their stance on the issue Thursday, after the Anti-Defamation League said it is “not aware of any anti-Semitic statements made by Bannon”.
