Just down the street from the Trump Hotel and six blocks from President-elect Donald Trump’s soon-to-be White House, the alt-right movement gathered on Pennsylvania Avenue and declared victory Saturday.

“Donald Trump’s campaign was the first step towards identity politics in the United States,” cheered Richard Spencer, the president of the National Policy Institute, an arm of the alt-right, at an afternoon press conference. “…I do think we have a psychic connection, a deeper connection with Donald Trump, in a way we simply do not have with most Republicans.”

The alt-right, a nationalist movement that embraces white identity politics and has been associated with racism and anti-Semitism, gathered over the weekend at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center downtown to regroup after the election and plot a path forward.

Spencer made clear that he doesn’t think Trump is a member of the alt-right, and Trump himself has condemned bigoted attacks from his supporters. But the alt-right views his election as a validation of sorts, and in an hour-long press availability, Spencer and several other leaders of the movement said they expected Trump’s successful campaign to usher in a new era of populism, hardline immigration policy and a foreign policy that deemphasizes NATO and rebuilds strong ties with Russia.

We have clients with employees who are definitely alt-right in their views.  They have been saying the entire election process that Trump is their guy and that Trump is signaling that he will enact many items in their agenda.  They absolutely believe that they have a seat at the table now.

Curious @HonestJohn ---what's your reason for bolding the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center?

@HonestJohn

This can't be true.  I have it on good authority that the alt-right doesn't exist.

[Puss-N-Boots]

Maybe I've been under a rock, but what exactly is the "alt-right"?  Did I miss a meeting?

I think they're going to be disappointed which is one of the few good things I have to say about Trump. Unfortunately for Trump it will cost him a second term.

@Longmire

Are you seriously trying to turn the forum into a place of alt-right hatred and racism?

[Silver Pines]

Mods, feel free to remove my post, too...I shouldn't have hit the freaking quote button and repeated the image.

@CatherineofAragon

I see the alt reich is pushing a new frog logo.

[TomSea]

That image is anything more than light humor? Did I miss something?

Report it to the moderator; put up or shut up.

The usual gratuitous type of libel.

[TomSea]

The PC police seem to be out in full gear today.

I saw a funny headline this morning, "Huffington Post accuses Sessions of being racist too".

So, whom is the next one to be accused of racism?

You keep using words that you don't know the meaning of.

I wish someone would lock her Twitter account.  I thought she liked Trump.

Yep.  I remember that too.

@mystery-ak @R4 TrumPence

Someone here doesn't think this image is appropriate...I'd like a second opinion.

Mod2 here.  Ok.  It's not appropriate.  It's an image used by white supremacists.  Post it again and you will be suspended.

Curious @HonestJohn ---what's your reason for bolding the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center?

To highlight that the "alt-right" is using every means to hijack Reagan's legacy.  By holding the event at that site, they use his name as well as his party.

Optics.

I expect that will happen at some point.

Why don't you try reading about it first.  You're either ignorant, or a white supremacist yourself.

I really think the only reason they haven't is because she's a well known right winger.

What better way of harming the right than allowing Coulter to talk unrestricted.
