Two conservative journalists have sparked outcry on social media by making what some have interpreted as a white supremacist hand symbol at a recent visit to the White House.
Freelance journalist Mike Cernovich and Cassandra Fairbanks, a reporter for Russian news outlet Sputnik, posed for a picture behind the podium in the White House briefing room. In the photo, they are making a hand sign that can be used to signify “white power.”
“Just two people doing a white power hand gesture in the White House,” Fusion senior reporter Emma Roller tweeted, alongside a screenshot of the picture.
Ms Fairbanks, however, claims the hand gesture was not a reference to the white power movement. She pointed to her partial Puerto Rican heritage as evidence that she is not a white supremacist.
“White power!!!!!!! Except I'm Puerto Rican. Can it be PR power?!” she tweeted.
Ms Fairbanks’ supporters point out that the hand symbol is also used to mean “OK.” Photos show people of all races using the symbol to signify that everything is “alright.”

WOW! Talk about ignorance.
Good grief.
Literally “ok”
lol. She’s hispanic :)
And even if they did, where was the outrage when obama’s kid flashed gang signs?
Oh-Tay!
ROTFL!. How many “rappers” visited Bonzo’s White House made gang signs? The “media” has gone full retard.
Great find
And I thought the MSM jumped the shark years ago.
WOW! Talk about ignorance.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
good thing they didn’t use the threatening “thumbs up” sign in public.
LOL! Nailed it.
I’ve been using that sign to say “ok” most of my life. Now I live in dread that everyone must think I’m a white supremacist. I need to write that reparations check right now as a sin offering.
Insane. The left has gone completely bonkers.
Is there a point at which peak inanity reaches its summit and heads backs down? Or does this level of stupidity become the precursor to revolution?
There is no such thing as a media anymore..the media died a long time ago..all you see now is Communist propaganda..they are all pissed that their Messiah Hillary Clinton got her butt kicked..they were hoping once she won the country would be swarming with refugees, turning America into a 3rd world cess pool and Democrat stronghold forever
The MSM’s becoming unhinged.
LIBS are both desperate and insane. What absolute pathetic lunatics. I laugh at the depths of their uselessness. What a sick clown show.
So Yahoo runs this as a legitimate news story. A hand signal that has meant “OK” for decades. I despise Yahoo. I dumped my Yahoo mail years ago because I got so sick of the pro rat splash pages I was subjected to. Big hassle at the time but worth it.
hahaha wow, you can’t even make this stuff up anymore
Or was it, "Oh, KKK!"
Hmm...
More N bombs were dropped at the White House during the Obama years than during every other administration combined.
