"Are You A White Nationalist?"

I've watched this past week as reporters asked some form of the question, "Are you a Socialist? " to any Democratic politician being interviewed. Once again, the media is doing the far right's dirty work as even our primary candidates find themselves having to explain the nuances of Democratic Socialism or, on the flip side, having to mount a defense of Capitalism.

I propose that all Republican politicians be asked "Are you a White Nationalist?" When they get outraged over the question, it should be pointed out that they support a president who is an icon of the White Nationalist movement and whose speeches are often indistinguishable from the speeches of known White Nationalists.

I know the media folks won't do this so I think we should do it. If a Republican politician posts something on Twitter or Facebook, ask them if they are a White Nationalist in the comments. Ask it of any Trump supporters you know or meet, too.

The current GOP has openly embraced White Nationalism and it is long past time to stop dancing around this.
