Trump Adviser Tweets Alt-Right Mascot
« on: September 10, 2016, 11:25:49 pm »
On Saturday afternoon, political consultant and longtime Trump confidante Roger Stone tweeted a photoshopped image containing the mascot of the racist alt-right in response to Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" comment on Friday. The picture showcased a gun-toting Trump, Stone, and several other Republicans in a send-up of an The Expendables movie poster — and Pepe the Frog. Pepe is a popular 4chan internet meme that has since become a neo-Nazi, Trump-supporting, anti-Semitic symbol of the alt-right.

"More than half" was certainly an exaggeration by Hillary, but the dog-whistles to the white nationalists in Trump world are evident to anyone with a brain to fathom it.
Roy Moore's "spiritual warfare" is driving past a junior high without stopping.

"Katy Perry once tweeted a Pepe to illustrate her jet lag.[2]
Nicki Minaj posted a twerking Pepe representing her on Instagram.[2]"

Thanks for the laughs, I guess Nicki Minaj is among whom this writer talks about as well.

Anonymous white nationalists seeking an association with Trump. Okay.
