Talk about a low information voter
Marilyn Mayo, co-director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, said her group keeps an eye on alt right agitating.
“It’s basically a term that white supremacists use who see themselves as part of a new movement,” she said. “They want to differentiate themselves from the conservative or mainstream right. They see the mainstream right as being opposed to white interests.”
To be clear, the radio host seemed wholly unaware of the fact that “alt right” is practically a synonym for “Neo-Nazi.” (Don’t think that’s fair? One favorite alt right site, The Right Stuff, has a vertical called “The Daily Shoah.”) But by giving the caller uncritical airtime and telling him he was unquestionably correct, he gave alt right ideas their biggest platform yet.
