Meet the Horde of Neo-Nazis, Klansmen, and Other Extremist Leaders Endorsing Donald Trump

[Skidmore]

This is the first time in my all of my decades on this earth that I have truly felt we have an existential threat to the nation by virtue of the candidacy of Trump and the nature of his core group of supporters. Anyone caring to mince and parse terminology right now rather than pitching in to pull us back from the precipice over which millions of vulnerable people will be pushed by these emboldened hater needs to look hard in the mirror.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE STRONG LANGUAGE ARE PART OF THIS STORY IN A LIBERAL MAGAZINE SO i HAVE NOT CENSORED. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS MONSTER AND SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS.

With his many appeals to nativism, bigotry, and bitter discontent, Donald Trump has enthralled far-right extremists with his campaign for president. According to an investigation by Mother Jones and the Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute, since Trump officially announced his bid in June 2015 he has drawn effusive praise and formal backing from some of the country's most virulent neo-Nazis, white supremacists, militia supporters, and other extremist leaders. They include the head of the American Nazi Party, three former Ku Klux Klansmen, four people involved in a recent armed standoff against federal authorities at an Oregon wildlife refuge, and at least 15 individuals affiliated with organizations described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups.

Trump has disavowed none of them.

"We have a wonderful OPPORTUNITY here folks, that may never come again," wrote Rocky J. Suhayda, the head of the American Nazi Party, last fall. "Donald Trump's campaign statements, if nothing else, have SHOWN that 'our views' are NOT so 'unpopular' as the Political Correctness crowd have told everyone they are!"

During the Republican National Convention in July, Trump endorser Andrew Anglin, who runs a neo-Nazi website called the Daily Stormer, wrote: "The biggest story in the filthy kike media has been a few lines from Melania's speech which these Jews claim she stole from monkey Michelle."..more

1. I think a group of Neo-Nazis is called a 'deplorable'

As in, "I remember when I saw two guys run a deplorable of Illinois Nazis off the bridge today."
