CNN slammed for having white nationalist Richard Spencer on to slam Trump’s tweets

This is just getting weirder and weirder.

The hill-

Spencer’s name appeared with the title “White Nationalist” in the on-screen chyron as he discussed what the neo-Nazi community, of which he is a part, thought about Trump’s tweets, which have been widely condemned as racist.

Spencer labeled the tweets, in which Trump told the four progressive Democrats to “go back” to the countries they came from, as racist, but he said he thinks the attacks are “meaningless and cheap.”

“He gives us nothing outside of racist tweets,” he said. “And by racist tweets, I mean tweets that are meaningless and cheap and express the kind of sentiments you might hear from your drunk uncle while he’s watching [Sean] Hannity.” 

Spencer is a leading voice in white nationalist circles and helped organize the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., which left counterprotester Heather Heyer dead when a white nationalist plowed through a crowd with his car.

CNN’s decision to give Spencer airtime was panned on social media…

  1. Who’s Trump going to make them put on TV next? David Duke?

    Seems like a week ago there were a couple dozen people campaigning for President. I guess the Dems are hoping twenty of them will throw in the towel when they see they have no hope of ever getting noticed as long as Trump controls the news cycle.

  2. CNN calling someone a”white nationalist” is about as meaningful as AOC calling someone “racist”. CNN calls anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders a white nationalist.

  3. There’s plenty of evidence that the “counter-protesters,” i.e. rioters, attacked the man’s car, causing him to panic and resulting in Heather Heyer’s death. The fault lies more with the rioters, not the driver.
