What is Alt-Right?
After the violence in Chartlottesville, some are asking: what is the alt-right?
FOX’s Rachel Sutherland reports from Washington:
Pepe the frog, Confederate flags, “The Deporables.” Welcome to the alternative right, a growing movement encompassing many brands of far-right conservatism. Richard Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute, a white nationalist think tank, has called the alt-right:
(Spencer) “A banner for an emerging identity politics for the United States and it’s identity politics for people of European descent.”
Also under the umbrella of the alt-right: men’s rights activists and anti-globalists. The Anti-Defamation League has described the movement as one that rejects mainstream conservatism in favor of forms of conservatism that embrace implicit or explicit racism or white supremacy.
In Washington, Rachel Sutherland, FOX News.
