Leading White Supremacist Says Trump Is Bringing New Legitimacy to Racism
White supremacist Jared Taylor gave an interview to an “alt-right” podcast earlier this month and predicted Donald Trump’s administration (assuming he’s elected; shudder) would be stacked with people who think like Taylor, and expressed his gratitude that Trump is “making it impossible” for people to ignore this vile racist movement.
“I’m more optimistic now than I have been at any point in 25 years of trying to wake white people up to this terrible crisis that they face,” Taylor said. “I think that Donald Trump is certainly an important ingredient in that.”
Trump, Taylor said, is saying things that he has been saying for years, only it’s impossible for people to ignore him because he’s raising these questions at “a level at which they’ve never been raised ever before.”
Taylor prefers to call himself a “white nationalist,” but I refuse to use the term he wants us to use. He’s a pure and simple white supremacist and I’m not going to play his game. These are the people riding along on Donald Trump’s coattails.
