White supremacists cheer Trump’s racist tweets

CNN  

CNN — President Donald Trump’s racist comments about Democratic congresswomen have won him renewed support from white supremacists who had been losing faith that he was the hero they wanted to create a prospering White America. “With a single tweet, Trump was able to win back the sizeable deluded portion of the Alt-Right, eager to take another trip on the merry-go-round,” prominent white nationalist Richard Spencer wrote on Twitter. Trump also received support from a well-known white supremacist organizer who goes by the name “Augustus Invictus.” Threads on 8chan and Gab – platforms used by the far-right for their permissive approach to hate speech – included praise for Trump’s comments, with many repeating some of the false narrative about the congresswomen’s heritages put forth by the President. And all I’m saying, they want to leave, they can leave.” One 8chan commenter wrote that they expected to see an uptick of supporters who “blindly emulate the President’s example.” But they saw the reaction to Trump’s words as an “essential first step” in normalizing the hateful idea that individuals can choose not to exist alongside people they don’t like because of their skin color or where they come from. “It’s hardly surprising that we’ve seen many white supremacists, neo-Nazis and anti-Muslim extremists celebrating Trump’s outbursts,” he told CNN.
