Trump disavows 'alt-right' supporters
BB ^ | 22 Jun 16 | Unknown

Donald Trump has repudiated the fringe "alt-right" group that celebrated his election win with Nazi salutes.

In a far-ranging interview with the New York Times, the US president-elect was quoted as saying: "I condemn them. I disavow, and I condemn."

He said he did not want to "energise" the group, which includes neo-Nazis, white nationalists and anti-Semites.

It seems to me that the “Alt-Right” is just another Leftist propaganda effort to label conservative groups as ‘haters’ because they do not endorse every leftist position and opinion.

Great.

All 30 of those people will be mad.... and half of them were FBI agents.

KKK only exists as a Democrat psy op.

Richard Spencer coined the term “alt-right.”

As with all of these labels - it is hard to tell who is what. (I’m still confused on the whole Gen X thing). I’m pretty sure Milo (Jewish heritage and gay conservative) considers himself an “alt X”. My kids are tuned into that form of media (a bit too brash for my tastes). I think the Nazi crap is a very small fringe group that somehow is considered “alt X”.

Sort of like saying all conservatives are Nazi’s and KKK and hate women. Although I guess nobody would ever say that. /s

oops - had Gen X on my mind - alt-right.

Alt-right, Deplorables, whatever. We all just want to hit ctrl-alt-del on obama’s policies.

LOL! I stole that FBI remark and use it on Facebook. It’s a great putdown to idiotic liberal Brits who think America is a nation of KKK members.

Although this Richard Spencer may have coined it, the Leftist media has used it to group nearly every conservative group that they hate into it. At least that is my conclusion based upon all of the MSM/LSM pre-election balderdash I heard.

Damnation by Equivocation by leftwing moral and intellectual cowards.

They use a vague term and shift its meaning to create false associations.

I think DJT *should* disavow these sleazebags.

He also ought to push against the alt-left. You know, the BLMs and the Hollywood kooks.

How about we talk about the “alt-left”? The ones who call people racists and white supremacists, burn and loot, start fights, disrupt public gatherings, etc.

who has ever heard to the alt right until this election, I know I have not>?

Funny when the left protest and riot the words of left wing are never present, nor their radical groups like the SPLC, but there sure is names for the right wing and conservatives which are made up by the left wing media, and repeated time and time again.

Nazis...national socialists are definitively leftists. They are simply too stupid to understand this, revealing them... as leftists.

Obummer never disavowed the racist New Black Panthers and a myriad of other racist, white hating, conservative hating, Christian hating groups and the press thought he was great.

I’m not saying Trump should get in bed with them but the fact the MSM has to even go there is just more proof of their hypocrisy.

I never heard of alt-right until a couple of weeks ago.

Just another maningless accusation to be tossed at us IMHO.

The term "alt-right" has been co-opted by the left from meaning an alternative to the GOPe to meaning a bunch of racist neo Nazi skinheads.
