Now that some of the news media is criticizing Trump for being soft on white supremacists, I feel like pointing out that they're missing the point: He is a white supremacist, and I can prove it. Here's a list of some evidence that I compiled a few months ago:
Meanwhile, if all the other people in the Republican Party (the politicians, the activists, the voters) want to prove they're not white supremacist too, they should start by renouncing him. I hope they do, but I can't show you they will.
- He hired Breitbart.com's CEO, Steve Bannon, as his campaign manager, then hired him as his chief strategist, then placed him on the national security council, then promoted him to a role usually reserved for generals. Trump also let Bannon write some of his executive orders and speeches, including his inauguration address.
If you don't know about Breitbart, it has called itself "the platform for the alt-right." The alt-right is a white nationalist movement that got its name from Richard Spencer. You know, this guy:
Here is Breitbart admitting that "the media empire of the modern-day alternative right coalesced around Richard Spencer" and calling his website "a center of alt-right thought."
Here is Milo Yiannopolous, at the time Breitbart's editor-in-chief and most famous writer, saying "The Jews run everything."
Here is Breitbart admitting that the alt-right spreads anti-semitic hate. The same article says it's “Just to shock older generations,” but that's sort of hard to believe, considering all the other information in this list.
Here is proof that Steve Bannon wrote a draft for a documentary about how "radical Muslims" might take over the U.S. government and create an "Islamic Republic" (they haven't lol). In it, he listed "enablers" of Islamic extremism that "advocate hatred and contempt for the West," including George W. Bush, the State Department—and "the American Jewish community."
Here is another Breitbart writer, Katie McHugh, tweeting, "As if Indians could ever build the highly advanced welfare system that sustains their existence... lol" and "Funny how Europeans assimilated, unlike Third Worlders demanding welfare while raping, killing Americans." Breitbart's editor-in-chief responded to those statements by announcing, "Neither Steve [Bannon] nor I are fond of Twitter, but after reviewing these tweets, we're considering giving Katie a weekly column."
Here is proof that Trump gave Breitbart the only reserved seat for his first press conference as the President-elect.
During his campaign, Trump re-tweeted Breitbart three times as much as any other news source. He must have noticed what it stands for. To me, if you promote a white supremacist organization for years, you're a white supremacist.
- His picked Jeff Sessions for attorney general, who said he doesn't want to investigate police brutality and racism in case it harms police departments' reputations.
- He once funded an incredibly racist ad against the Mohawk Indians, which showed pictures of cocaine lines and syringes and asked "Are these the new neighbors we want?"
- He pledged "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States," promised to shut down mosques, said "Islam hates us," and promised to create a registry of Muslims.
- He called a Hispanic Miss America contestant "Miss Housekeeping."
- He hired another Breitbart writer, Julia Hahn, as one of his assistants.
- At this point, he must know how much white supremacists love him. The 1,500 white supremacists at the Charlotville "Unite the Right" protest were only a tiny fraction of all the fascists who support him. R/The_Donald promoted the event, and it's the biggest political subreddit on the internet, with almost 500,000 subscribers. When at least 800 journalists received antisemitic tweets during the 2016 election, a study by the Anti-Defamation League concluded "The words that show up most in the bios of Twitter users sending anti-Semitic tweets to journalists are 'Trump,' 'nationalist,' 'conservative,' 'American' and 'white.'" I don't know about you, but if there was a massive hate campaign by fascists to intimidate Jewish journalists in my name, I'd be horrified, and I'd do everything possible to lose the support of that movement. Trump hasn't.
- He re-tweeted a meme of Hillary Clinton next to a bunch of money and a Jewish Star of David. I don't believe his excuse that he, a grown man who has lived on Earth for over 70 years, somehow thought the Star of David was a sheriff's star.
- He hired a national spokesperson who called Barack Obama a "half-breed" and "the head Negro in charge" on CNN.
- He hired Sebastian Gorka as a deputy assistant, who was Breitbart's national security editor, and who recently appeared on Fox News wearing a medal of Nazi collaborators.
Meanwhile, if all the other people in the Republican Party (the politicians, the activists, the voters) want to prove they're not white supremacist too, they should start by renouncing him. I hope they do, but I can't show you they will.
