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.

New tagline...
When is she going to claim Harambe is a racist?
That’s... Bizarre. Unhinged. So deluded it takes considerable time to explain what it’s supposed to mean, why it’s wrong, and why it’s so stupid that her campaign actually went there.
Yep, it comes from a single anonymous twitter user.... who could very well be someone from the Hillary campaign for all we know!
Hillary, like the Frog, is beginning to show her real self, warts and all. More like the poisonous Dart Frog of South America. Might explain why Bill looks elsewhere for entertainment.
After all who wants to kiss a frog!
The official Hate On Display summary does NOT include Pepe!
“We basically mixed Pepe in with Nazi propaganda, etc. “
WTF. This has to be a bad joke.
It’s from the Hillary campaign. That proves it’s a joke.
Kinda reminds me of the 70s tshirt design Frog sitting on a lily pad and says Im So Happy Here I Could Just Shit.
It is because only the most intelligent on the left have the mental ability to spin everything a non-leftist says as some sort of bigoted, racist, sexist, etc., microaggression. Then, after they have come up with their ludicrous "explanations", they need to explain them in simple terms that the majority of leftists can memorize and parrot, albeit without any true understanding.
I would not be surprised at all to learn that that is the case.
I thought Pepe was for frog supremacy. That Hillary is always makin’ things up.
Why is there a frog standing directly behind Trump?
That’s Pepe. He’s a symbol associated with white supremacy.
Pepe the frog has apparently taken up residence in Hillary ‘s throat.
Actually, the explanation part is quick and easy: plummeting internal polling numbers and the resultant desperation.
My guess: The democrats created this frog and are the ones posting it on their own faked white supremacist web sites. Odds are this is all another liberal fraud.
I’ll raise you one terrorist’s father who was standing behind Hilly at a rally in support of her ... you know, the father of the radical Jihadi who, not being a cartoon character, massacred a bunch of people in FL.
Yup. Nailed it.
