“She bullies voters, who only want a better future, and tries to intimidate them out of voting for change”.

“The de facto merger between Breitbart and the Trump campaign represents a landmark achievement for the alt-right”, Clinton told her supporters.
Yahoo: What is the alt-right? Adherents say those values are increasingly under attack with the rise of racial minorities in the USA and as the left pushes “political correctness”. Some want to curb or block immigration to the USA; others would remove minorities from the country. “Racists now call themselves ‘racialists.’ White supremacists now call themselves ‘white nationalists.’ The paranoid fringe now calls itself the ‘alt-right.’ But the hate burns just as bright”. Spencer this week tweeted: “Identifying as #AltRight entails HUGE risk, as it’s a position explicitly forbidden by the system”.
There was little subtlety in Clinton’s speech.
“People who speak out against radical Islam, and who warn about refugees, are not Islamophobes”, he said.
Maybe we are in a downward spiral driven by the belief among the political class that negative campaigns are easier to run and are often more effective, combined with the media’s obsession with driving up ratings, resulting in a lack of incentive to “stick to the issues”.
In a video on the National Policy Institute’s website, Spencer says white Americans need to “resist our dispossession”, claiming that a nation that is “for everyone” becomes one that is “for no one”.
Donald Trump is testing a novel way to fix a problem that no modern Republican presidential nominee has had.
In the span of 24 hours, the words alt-right and discussion about it blanketed 24-hour cable news, it was covered in every major mainstream news outlet from NBC News to the New York Times to Vice News to the Voice of America. “It takes a lot of nerve to ask people he’s ignored and mistreated for decades, ‘What do you have to lose?’ The answer is everything”.
The montage features leaders of the Ku Klux Klan and other white nationalist groups offering resounding endorsements to the NY businessman, whom Hillary Clinton accused of “taking a hate movement mainstream”.
“Nobody even knows what it is, and she didn’t know what it was”.
“As we have said, the department agreed to search the materials we received from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in response to several pending (Freedom of Information Act) requests and, to the extent responsive records are identified, produce them”, State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said Thursday.
Trump made those comments at a time when he is trying to expand his outreach to African-Americans and Hispanics, who widely disapprove of his rhetoric, his denunciations of undocumented immigrants, and his more outlandish proposals – like a wall along the Mexican border that would be paid for by the Mexican government. As explained by NBC News, it is a “blanket term for a loose gathering of conservatives primarily based online that can include everyone from critics of so-called “political correctness” on college campuses to hardcore white supremacists and neo-Nazis”.
Trump also has retweeted a number of messages from Twitter users with questionable profiles, including one with the handle @WhiteGenocideTM.

After she delivered a scathing speech Thursday, tying Donald Trump the movement, it exploded into everyday vernacular. Trump doesn’t really flip-flop; he just says what he thinks works in the moment. She tied the alt-right to the “broader story” of the “rising tide of hardline right-wing nationalism around the world”.
