FIVE THINGS ABOUT U. S . NA Z I POLITICS

1 PARTY LEADER ADMIRES TRUMP

The chairman of the American Nazi Party thinks there is one political figure who planted the seeds of white nationalism in the political mainstream: Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president.

2 ‘A REAL OPPORTUNITY’

“Now, if Trump does win, OK, it’s going to be a real opportunity for people like white nationalists, acting intelligently to build upon that, and to go and start — you know how you have the black political caucus and what not in Congress and everything — to start building on something like that,” Rocky Suhayda declared on his radio program.

3 LESS ANTI- ... MORE ‘PRO-WHITE’

“It doesn’t have to be anti-, like the movement’s been for decades, so much as it has to be pro-white,” he added. “You know what I’m saying? It’s kinda hard to go and call us bigots if we don’t go around and act like a bigot. That’s what the movement should contemplate.”

4 ‘SURPRISE THE ENEMY’

During his radio program, which aired last month but was widely circulated more recently, Suhayda said he was confident Trump would emerge victorious in November. “I think it’s gonna surprise the enemy, because I think that they feel that the white working class … have basically thrown in the towel.”

5 OTHER SUPPORTERS WHO LIKE WHITE

Rachel Pendergraft, the national organizer for the Knights Party, a standard-bearer for the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader and a current U.S. Senate candidate from Louisiana, and Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance, a white-nationalist magazine and website based in northern Virginia, are among those who have expressed hope for their cause as a result of Trump’s popularity.
