The spokesman for the Council of Conservative Citizens, a name which may sound familiar because they were cited in Dylann Roof's manifesto, is running robocalls for Donald Trump.
The national media has an aversion to using the word "racist" even when something or someone is obviously super racist, but this story really tells itself.
“I urge you to vote for Donald Trump because he is the one candidate who points out that we should accept immigrants who are good for America,” Jared Taylor said on the robocall, paid for by the American National Super PAC. “We don’t need Muslims. We need smart, well-educated white people who will assimilate to our culture. Vote Trump.”
We need more white people.
Jared Taylor also serves as a spokesman for the Council of Conservative Citizens, which was cited in the manifesto written by Charleston shooter Dylann Roof as the group that opened his eyes to what he saw as the scourge of black-on-white crime in America.
I'm not concerned that our next president will be Donald Trump, but I am concerned about what form the movement behind him will take after he's been defeated.
Trump has mainstreamed and legitimized terrible viewpoints that won't disappear when he does and we have every reason to believe his successors will be just as or more radical than he is. We look at today's GOP and see a radical party, but today's party may seem tame compared to what comes next. It's relative.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott released what is more or less a blueprint for nullification and secession last week and I expect to see him in 2020.
