During 2016 campaign 62% of accounts Trumps retweeted had white supremacist connections

62 Percent Of The Accounts Donald Trump Has Retweeted Have White Supremacist Connections

http://americasvoice.org/blog/62-percent-accounts-donald-trump-retweeted-white-supremacist-connections/

Back in November, Trump manually retweeted a racist — and blatantly false — “Black on Black crime” statistic that originated from “neo-Nazi propaganda.” In January, Trump manually retweeted an image from a white supremacist with the handle “WhiteGenocideTM”. A few weeks later, he did it again. And again in April. And now in June.

Trump’s tweets “introduced us to a crucial facet of Trump’s propaganda: using Nazi and other racist images to signal gratuitously to supporters the superiority of whiteness, encourage threats of violence against dark people, and stoke the cult of a strong leader,” writes Ruth Ben-Ghiat on CNN.



At some point it should be considered "fake news" for America's media to ... NOT ... at the least call America's president a white supremacist sympathizer.

We have to hold the medias feet to the fire on this ... call Benedict Donald white he is in regards to race; Donald Trump is a racist
