Hillary — Over the weekend, Donald Trump’s son and one of his closest advisers posted an odd photo on their social media accounts:
This raised some important questions.
Why is there a frog standing directly behind Trump?
That’s Pepe. He’s a symbol associated with white supremacy.
Wait. Really? White supremacy?
That’s right.
Please explain.
Here’s the short version: Pepe is a cartoon frog who began his internet life as an innocent meme enjoyed by teenagers and pop stars alike.
But in recent months, Pepe’s been almost entirely co-opted by the white supremacists who call themselves the “alt-right.” They’ve decided to take back Pepe by adding swastikas and other symbols of anti-semitism and white supremacy.
“We basically mixed Pepe in with Nazi propaganda, etc. We built that association,” one prominentwhite supremacist told the Daily Beast.
Trump has retweeted his white supremacist supporters with regularity, but the connection between the alt-right and his campaign continues to strengthen. Trump has been slow to disavow support from Ku Klux Klansmen and white supremacy groups, and he recently hired Breitbart.com’s Steve Bannon as his campaign CEO (and Bannon isn’t shy about the fact that his “news” organization is the “platform for the alt-right”).
Now white supremacists have given Pepe the cartoon frog some Trump hair—and the candidate’s own son says he is “honored to be grouped with” him.
Let me get this straight: Trump’s presidential campaign is posting memes associated with white supremacy online?
Yes.
But it’s just his son and one of his closest advisers, right?
Nope.
Just curious: Who else is in this photo?
Notably, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who believes the government was behind the 9/11 (and that Newtown was “completely fake”), and Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos, whose racism and bigotry is so egregious that Twitter banned him from using their site.
This is horrifying.
Yes.
What can I do?
Vote.

- Hillary supporter Katy Perry once tweeted a Pepe to illustrate her jet lag.[2]
- Nicki Minaj posted a twerking Pepe representing her on Instagram.[2]
- When the New Zealand government was accepting proposals for a new national flag, a design with Pepe was submitted.[18][19][20]
- Donald Trump retweeted a Pepe representation of himself that was associated with a montage parody, “You Can’t Stump the Trump (Volume 4)”.[21
~~~~~~~~~~~
That the Hillary campaign thinks that Trump, or his son, knows that 4Chan has been digitally molesting Pepe for the sake of sick twisted comedy says a lot.
Actually, it means that somebody on the Hillary campaign frequents 4Chan.
Who ever heard of a white supremacist named Pepe?
This makes my head hurt.
Hmmmm……Pepe……
White Hispanic……like the Zimmerman……maybe?
Hahahahahahahahahahahha. Sad
Can this election get any more bizarre?
Wait.
Don’t answer that.
We all know the answer.
That frog might be Deplorably Intellectual.
As a presidential campaign, you have to know you’re in real trouble if your best plan of action is casting insults at internet memes of a cartoon character named “Pepe” for being a racist and white supremacist.
How soon will Hillary operatives start trolling through Trump’s buildings looking for hidden veiled “secret” white supremacist architectural details that they can use as proof of his sick ideology-that until he decided to run for President-didn’t exist.
Straws-grasped. Idiots.
Assholes!
Focus on that frog in Hillary’s throat, geniuses!
Freud would have had a field day with Hillary and her staff.
One of my buddies just sent me a link to a tweet that read
“Our next president will either be an offensive, rich, divisive, bigot with bad hair or Donald Trump.”
@Bad_Brad LOL! I’m sending that along to a few friends.
Illustr8r,
@ScottAdamsSays, have no idea who he is. Pretty damn funny.
Between all the fuckin idiots that come up with this shit and all the fuckin idiots that eat it up, the meteor can’t com too soon!
What would kermit the frog say?
Green Supremacy Rules!
(Miss Piggy/clinton joke in there somewhere)
@Bad_Brad Scott Adam’s is the cartoonist behind “Dilbert.”
Pepe!
(To most of us Pepe is just one of those images, like the traveling gnome, which is just funny. Libtards are humorless numbskulls.)
Sure, we got Pepe the Frog, but they got PeePee the Sexting Weasel Weiner !
Thanks Illustr8r.
I guess he’s deplorable like us. LOL
I suppose if white supremacists co-opted the Coke-a-Cola Santa Claus, we’d all have to give up Coke and Christmas.
So, what’s wrong with white supremacy?
They ripped off Dianny. Check her original PhotoShop.
WTF is she going on about? Somebody put a lab coat on pepe and shop hillary getting an exam. Damn, she’s stoopid.
Hillary and her team are just hateful irredeemable ranidaphobes.
Arggh! I clicked on the link. Now that homicidal maniac is probably going to stalk me. shit.
Like one of the commenters wrote:
“We have issues like
national debt and islamic terrorism
facing us…and Hillary wants (or wants us)
to focus on a cartoon frog?
That says it all.”
Theater of the Absurd.
The culmination of shit-pickle eating twatwaffles owning and directing the Lame Stream Media.
Absurdity based on a Stupidity founded upon a bed of Foolishness.
izlamo delenda est …
Oh my god, I have so many mutuals on tumblr who are liberal and use Pepe memes. Most of them are completely confused by this, Hillary is attacking pepe the meme frog… like… this is real life, right? I’m not in some alt reality, right???
