President Donald Trump celebrated a variety of right-wing personalities, meme-makers and conspiracy theorists at his so-called “Social Media Summit” on Thursday, bringing new respectability to the right’s online fringe. 

“The crap you think of is unbelievable,” Trump said, as he welcomed some of his most dedicated social media partisans to the White House. 

Trump’s guests included a variety of right-wing internet personalities, including promoters of the QAnon and Seth Rich conspiracy theories. Conservative operative Ali Alexander, who has promoted that smear that Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) isn’t an “American black,” was invited. So was Jim Hoft, whose Gateway Pundit blog has promoted hoaxes. 

“You’re in many cases getting the honest word out,” Trump told the invitees. “Not in all cases, but in many cases.”
