Pelosi connects alt-right, white supremacist movements to Trump in AIPAC speech
The Washington Examiner ^ | March 28, 2017 | Al Weaver

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke out against purported connections between the White House and the alt-right movement and white supremacists, citing the "poisonous attitudes we are witnessing now" in a speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual conference Tuesday.

Pelosi briefly brought up the 2016 election to note the rise of both movements in a jab against President Trump and the White House. Pelosi's comments were likely directed at Steve Bannon, the White House chief strategist, and his work for Breitbart News prior to joining the Trump campaign last summer.

"We come together in the aftermath of an election that left our country divided, but our democracy is strong and God is always with us," Pelosi said. "Our faith tells us that we have not done enough to rid our nation of poisonous attitudes we are witnessing now....

Okay serious question - where are these “white supremacists”? Honestly I’ve never seen one except I saw a KKK contingent in a July 4th parade in southern Virginia in the early 70’s... someone point me towards any story that documents who these people actually are.

Pelosi and Schumer are cut from the same cloth. Everyday they can lie and lie and think nothing of it. They lie with a straight face.

They are not really “leaders” of their respective Houses, but North Korean press secretaries spouting propaganda.

The oddest thing after the 2016 election is that after lamenting that their party must have lost touch with ordinary people who wouldn’t be dominated by liberals from the two coasts, the Dems keep a House Minority Leader from CA and select a Senate Minority Leader from NY.

And you wonder why I've said multiple times the people of New York, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Portland, OR, Seattle, and a few other liberal enclaves are effectively the denizens of the fictional capital of Panem from the Hunger Games novel trilogy--they live in their own " 'safe space' bubble" and don't care about everyone outside, the ultimate in parochialism.

So true, but at least those people understood there was a danger. While the media certainly saw Trump as a threat, they downplayed it so much that the people in the coastal “safe zones” were floored when he won.

President Snow has no such illusions...
