Over the weekend, Donald Trump’s son and one of his closest advisers posted an odd photo on their social media accounts:
This raised some important questions.
Why is there a frog standing directly behind Trump?
That’s Pepe. He’s a symbol associated with white supremacy.
Wait. Really? White supremacy?
That’s right.
Please explain.
Here’s the short version: Pepe is a cartoon frog who began his internet life as an innocent meme enjoyed by teenagers and pop stars alike.
But in recent months, Pepe’s been almost entirely co-opted by the white supremacists who call themselves the “alt-right.” They’ve decided to take back Pepe by adding swastikas and other symbols of anti-semitism and white supremacy.
“We basically mixed Pepe in with Nazi propaganda, etc. We built that association,” one prominent white supremacist told the Daily Beast.
Trump has retweeted his white supremacist supporters with regularity, but the connection between the alt-right and his campaign continues to strengthen. Trump has been slow to disavow support from Ku Klux Klansmen and white supremacy groups, and he recently hired Breitbart.com’s Steve Bannon as his campaign CEO (and Bannon isn’t shy about the fact that his “news” organization is the “platform for the alt-right”).
Now white supremacists have given Pepe the cartoon frog some Trump hair—and the candidate’s own son says he is “honored to be grouped with” him.

I do so love idiots explaining Internet memes they don’t understand.
LOL - now that’s a winner!!
On the command of the Lord God Almighty , Azrael , the archangel of death drifts in to the bedroom of HRC , like a foreboding cold dark mist . Lingering over her sleeping form , he plants a long cold kiss upon the forehead of the present day Jezebel of this world . The time for transition from this life , and retribution , for countless sins , has come .
LOL how pathetic..going after a frog really? LOL cant make this stuff up
More “powering through”!
Guess her staff has allot of new free time on thier hands while Hillary is being serviced by Doctor Bar Dick, but this is the best they could do?!?!
It ain’t easy bein’ green...
OK! Geeze it is hard to keep up with these new words and themes these days. So it means....whitey evil!
So Trump is now a Latino?
So... the entire basis for Hillary’s campaign trying to use a frog as a symbol of white supremacy is an uncorroborated claim in a poorly researched article published by The Daily Beast on May 26, 2016.
Wow, talk about scraping the bottom for anything to use against Trump.
Of course the Hillary campaign has to invent things to use against Trump. There isn’t anything substantive they can use.
Thanks, big k, but I don’t think I’ll click on hillaryclinton.com! As for the “white supremacists”, we’ll take their votes and reject their idiocy.
Hillary’s daughter and campaign staff have been seen wearing clothing in public. That’s right, clothing. It used to be just a normal thing, but for months White Supremacists have been wearing clothing, as a micro-aggression implying non-whites have no self control. So why are Chelsea Clinton and the whole Clinton campaign making like WHITE SUPREMACISTS? They are blowing a great big White Supremacy dog whistle, that’s why.
I didn’t think the media could sink any lower. Surely their credibility is at zero.
Hehehe!
Thank you for info.
That’s good!
Can you imagine what a lame-brain you’d have to be to buy this nonsense?
Why do people on the left need explainers?
The right-winger Gertrude Stein famously described the leftie Ezra Pound as
“A village explainer. Excellent if you were a village, but if you were not, not.”
