'Hail Trump!': White Nationalists Salute the President Elect

Video of an alt-right conference in Washington, D.C., where Trump’s victory was met with cheers and Nazi salutes.

That’s how Richard B. Spencer saluted more than 200 attendees on Saturday, gathered at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., for the annual conference of the National Policy Institute, which describes itself as “an independent organization dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world.”

Spencer has popularized the term “alt-right” to describe the movement he leads. Spencer has said his dream is “a new society, an ethno-state that would be a gathering point for all Europeans,” and has called for “peaceful ethnic cleansing.”

For most of the day, a parade of speakers discussed their ideology in relatively anodyne terms, putting a presentable face on their agenda. But after dinner, when most journalists had already departed, Spencer rose and delivered a speech to his followers dripping with anti-Semitism, and leaving no doubt as to what he actually seeks. He referred to the mainstream media as “Lügenpresse,” a term he said he was borrowing from “the original German”; the Nazis used the word to attack their critics in the press.

“America was until this past generation a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity,” Spencer said. “It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us.”

The audience offered cheers, applause, and enthusiastic Nazi salutes.


Here is the video, excerpted from an Atlantic documentary profile of Spencer that will premiere in December 2016.

Imagine their reactions if Trump keeps DACA and/or signs immigration reform. lmao

F**k these guys. We are not going anywhere. I am pretty sure most of us are more educated than most of the shit heads who attended the event.

This shit's a poison which has the potential of spreading rampantly across western society. This type of rhetoric needs to be contained...
This is all a result of Trump!

Oh, they are sooo full of sh**. Their completely white America will not be a reality. Coward sons of b***hes. They pull of their hate crimes on defenseless people of color. I would love to see them pull off their crap in East L.A. or Southeast San Diego. They will get smashed on like ants. lmao

My real fear is that such rhetoric was given a significant platform to spread as a result of Trump's victory. The white vote is increasingly consolidating themselves under one party due to political pressures and the media.
I feel its getting really easy to sow that type of rhetoric into a white population that is increasingly "feeling" disenfranchised...
Mein Kampf is an ultimate example of how susch poison could spread so rampantly in such a short period of time.

Shit's scary.

This is getting out of hand. I smell impeachment.

They can Mein Kampf my burnt tortillas.

Did you see the picture? One of the people doing the nazi salute is an Asian girl. Wth people are stupid. Like you're not even white lol

Lol, Couldn't agree more.
