Video: White Supremacists at Pro-Trump Conference in Washington DC Give Nazi Salutes and Shout “Hail Trump!”
The election of Donald Trump has set loose some very dark forces in this country.
The white supremacist/neo-Nazi organization with the innocuous-sounding name “National Policy Institute” held a conference last weekend at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington DC.
Today The Atlantic posted this video of the event, and it’s absolutely spine-chilling as the conference attendees respond to leader Richard Spencer’s cries of “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!” with Nazi salutes.
The restaurant where these neo-Nazis held a meeting on Friday night apologized today, and pledged to donate their entire proceeds from that night to the Anti-Defamation League. Here’s their Facebook statement:
Imagine my surprise to see a writer for Breitbart “News” actually trying to say these neo-Nazi “sieg heil” salutes were just pranks on the media.
Breitbart’s John Binder deleted his original tweet to Rosie Gray, but he proceeded to rant some more on this subject.
Alt-right wackos hail #Trump with salute to troll the media.BuzzFeed reporters get trolled by said salute, claim TROLLING ISNT REAL!

Moron BuzzFeed reporters don’t understand when crazy alt-righters salute, they’re doing it to get attention from said BuzzFeed reporters.
