Donald Trump’s biggest fans—White Supremacists everywhere—are sending in their warmest regards to the president-elect on his hiring of Steve Bannon.
“Perhaps The Donald is for real,” Rocky Suhayda, chairman of the American Nazi Party, told CNN in an segment that included interviews with several white nationalists.
The good old American Nazi Party. What say you botox, supremacist David Duke?
"I think that's excellent," former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke told CNN's KFile. "I think that anyone that helps complete the program and the policies that President-elect Trump has developed during the campaign is a very good thing, obviously. So it's good to see that he's sticking to the issues and the ideas that he proposed as a candidate. Now he's president-elect and he's sticking to it and he's reaffirming those issues."
Well, those are two big names in White Supremacy, but here come some others.
Bannon will “push Trump in the right direction,” suggested Richard Spencer, president of the white nationalist National Policy Institute. “That would be a wonderful thing.”
“It makes sense to me,” added Brad Griffin, author of the white nationalist website Occidental Dissent.
Bannon “will hold Trump to the promises he has already made during the campaign,” Griffin added.
That’s how it starts. The refrain that Trump was just using rhetoric falls by the wayside when people begin expecting him to come through on his promises. That’s how democracies work and that’s also how fascistic regimes move into position.
