Daily Caller ^ | November 15, 2016 | JONAH BENNETT, NATIONAL SECURITY/FOREIGN POLICY REPORTER

Posted on 11/15/2016 9:54:57 PM PST by Az Joe

Twitter has initiated a major purge of prominent accounts associated with the alt-right exactly a week after GOP President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning electoral victory.

One of the first and most prominent accounts caught up in the deletion is Richard Spencer, president and director of the National Policy Institute, an alt-right think tank focused on white identity and related policy issues.

Why we need our own media. Dedicated to the principles that made America great.

Dems wee all about playing the racial identity game until it bit them in the ass.

Just like they were all about the electoral college when they thought it was advantageous to them (like 2 weeks ago)

I'm sorry, WHAT????

"One of the first and most prominent accounts caught up in the deletion is Richard Spencer, president and director of the National Policy Institute, an alt-right think tank focused on white identity and related policy issues."

Why are we accepting this name calling bullshit? ALT-RIGHT?

WHITE IDENTITY?

Evidently, Twitter supports rape related hashtags.

I never realized that there was an "ALT Right"
until I heard it from Hillary in her alcohol induced haze
Good thing - because "right-wing conspiracy" was getting trite and repetative !

I don’t grok it either, but it seems to mean far right. Compartmentalize much, don’t they? I got a label for them, but it’s not suitable for polite company, if there’s even such a thing left these days...

Who killed more during the 20th Century? The alt right or communism/progressiveism/socialism/statism?

I get shadow banned all the time. So does POTUS Trump if he posts a vid or pic. They mess with the #s, too. @jack is a real piece of work.

Kim Dotcom is launching a platform that could be modified to challenge both Twitter and Google.

Alt-Right new media is where all the growth and excitement is taking place... purging your system of all alt-right users is a dumb move that creates a huge opening for a smart entrepreneur.

They could turn themselves into the new “MySpace”

There is nothing so powerful as a new, better idea :-)

Stupid is as stupid does.

I've been reading Conservative publications for more than 50 years.

Until six months ago, I had never even seen the term "Alt-Right."

And I still have almost no idea what it is, or what it stands for.

I’m not sure, but I think the Alt-right is younger people, with a more in-your-face style. So some 20-something guy posting news and witty things with a few F-bombs thrown in for good measure.

I’m not sure if that Milo guy is “alt-right” - but that’s what I think of.

I know my kids like some of them.

Twitter, Facebook and Google are going to be in for a rude awakening when Trump’s FCC declares them to be “networks” subject to regulation, and thus these actions will be unlawful
