Clinton Links Trump to KKK Supporters, White Supremacist ‘Alt-Right’ Movement in New Campaign Ad

Trump Wednesday Called Clinton ‘A Bigot’

“There’s a reason the most hateful fringe of the right wing is supporting Donald Trump,” Hillary Clinton just said on Twitter as she released a new ad linking Donald Trump and the white supremacist “alt-right” movement. Clinton will pound home that point in a speech Thursday afternoon in Reno, Nevada.

“The reason a lot of Klan members like Donald Trump is because a lot of what he believes, we believe in,” says the Imperial Wizard of the Rebel Brigade Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in the new Clinton campaign ad, as Politico reports.

The ad includes an audio clip of MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid calling the alt-right movement, “the sort of dressed-up-in-suits version of the neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements.” 

“Sending out all the illegals, building a wall, add a moratorium on Islamic immigration,” says Jared Taylor, editor and founder of the white-supremacist magazine “American Renaissance,” in the ad. “That’s very appealing to a lot of ordinary white people.”

The ad also shows Trump’s refusal to disavow former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke in an interview on national television, and highlights Trump’s new campaign CEO, Steve Bannon, who left the far-right website Breitbart to work for the GOP nominee.

The ad shows a clip featuring a CNN contributor calling Bannon “a campaign chair that ran a website that has become a field day for the alt-right, which is racist and all sorts of other ‘ists.’”

Wednesday night Trump called Clinton “a bigot,” claiming she only sees people of color “as votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future.” Clinton called in to CNN immediately thereafter, saying Trump “is taking a hate movement mainstream.”

The former secretary of state will expand on that theme in an important speech Thursday afternoon in Reno. NCRM will carry the speech live.
