i would like to come back to this alt-right. the accounts that are in the newspapers this morning, especially on the front page of the new york times, that s the single most disturbing article that i can remember since the election. and there have been many that have been disturbing. i mean, after all, the man he mr. trump has named to be his chief strategist, steve bannon, has who ran breitbart, said publicly that breitbart was to be the main platform for the alt-right. and here after all these the fear that s spread across the country about what s coming and the denials that there was any racism in the administration, there was any anti-semitism in the new incoming administration, here we have a blatantly anti-semitic, blatantly racist, anti-woman, everything you can think of, and they ve declared, this is a white nation and for whites, this is conquer or die. now, that sends terrible messages around the country to people of color, to jews, and to
