Alt-Right Protesters Tell Mediaite Why They Marched: 'A Step Toward GOP Becoming Party for Whites' [View all]

Source: Mediaite

According to leading alt-right protesters, the violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia staged by hundreds of white nationalists served as a response to “cosmopolitan elites’ attack on whites” — as well as a step toward the “GOP becoming a party exclusively for the white race.”

“White people are tired of being told by the cosmopolitan elites that we are the problem, they can’t keep blaming (us) or else incidents like this will continue,” said James Allsup, an alt-right figure and former chair of the Washington State College Republicans Federation.

President Trump’s response to the violence that left at least one dead in Charlottesville, Virginia — where he condemned “this egregious display of hatred” — was taken as an endorsement of the alt-right by Nicholas Fuentes, an alt-right online TV host for Right Side Broadcasting Network.
