the people of the united states of america and the idea of e pluribus unum, from many one. hillary clinton explained what it means. i don't know if people like alt-right or alt rock or a hipster thing. no, it means hate. i have been trying to get the message out about alt-right and brightbart being the enabler. now they will know it is a white supremacist publication. it's anti-muslim, anti-submit tick, anti-african-american, anti-latino. horribly anti-muslim. they have come after people in the community, myself to marginalize us. i'm happy secretary clinton brought it out. now the american people know what they are about. >> traditional conservatives and republicans. understand that they are against them, too. my who won the week is leslie jones. she went up against the alt-right. she was attempted to be destroyed by them but stands strong.
