Was a Russian reporter flashing Alt Right hand-signs in the White House?

[UCmeNdc]

A reporter with the Russian propaganda publication Sputnik, Cassandra Fairbanks, was in the White House recently with controversial far-right (some say white supremacist “Alt Right”) leader, and conspiracy theorist, Mike Cernovich.

Fairbanks and Cernovich were in the press briefing room, at the press secretary’s podium, when both flashed a hand gesture that, in white supremacist circles, means “white power.”

It’s a gesture that a number of Alt Right figures have flashed recently at the White House, and beyond.
