This is kind of inside baseball, but just to give an idea of the kind of pushback being seen across America. The Mormon church (prominent here in the Intermountain West) put out a statement decrying what happened in Charlottesville on Sunday. It was a decent statement, but obviously put out by a bureaucracy.

There has been a woman named Ayla who Tweets as @apurposefulwife and has had a blog called “Nordic Sunrise.” She’s a flat out white supremacist. Over the past two days, people have been hammering the Mormon church about her, because she’s very open about her beliefs and indeed posted a video of the speech she said she would have given in Charlottesville. (Posting only for the record. NOT RECOMMENDED LISTENING. And for God’s sake, don’t look at the comments.)

My Charlottesville Speech

Now the Mormon church has a history that is not exactly great towards minorities, which makes what happened today remarkable. At about the same time Trump doubled down on the racist, white supremacist, Nazi crazy, the Mormon church made it really, really clear that Ayla wasn’t especially welcome. She figured it out and proceeded to bitch on Twitter.

I have to admit I’m pretty amused to see this white supremacist so very, very discomfited.
