Video has emerged from over the weekend of an alt-right rally held in Washington DC led by the movement’s poster boy Richard Spencer that concluded with a resounding “Hail Trump” salute.
And minorities thought they had something to worry about from a Donald Trump presidency:

But it didn’t stop there. Here’s Spencer questioning whether or not Jewish people are in fact people at all while also getting that special Trump trade mark in of denouncing the media. Only this time it came it German. Great…

Trump and his transition team have I guess denounced this particular rally via a statement in which they didn’t directly reference.

But what do you expect from President-elect Trump? I mean between picking fights with the cast of “Hamilton” and stocking his staff with suspected racists and white nationalists what kind of time does Trump actually have to address these issues directly and without a written statement sent to the press?
Sure it’s not like this behavior was cultivated with the Trump campaign. However it’s something he certainly gave some kind of sick legitimacy to.
