This should interesting

From the Washington Post
Protests expected as white nationalists meet in D.C. Saturday and celebrate Trump win
By John Woodrow Cox November 18 at 5:03 PM

A white nationalist organization that has come under fire for promoting racism will host a conference Saturday at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in downtown Washington — a gathering of more than 250 that will celebrate Donald Trump’s presidential victory.

“The past 12 months might be remembered as the year of Donald Trump . . . and the year of the Alt Right,” according to the website for the National Policy Institute, which is hosting the event. “It was a time when more people joined our movement then [sic] ever before and when our ideas began invading the mainstream.”

The conference is expected to draw dozens if not hundreds of protesters, who have launched a Facebook page asking that people join them “to defeat this hate.”

The institute’s president, Richard Spencer, who coined the term “alt-right,” is a leading promoter of white identity. He and his followers oppose immigration and multiculturalism.

He will try to deny he knows them and send them a dog whistle at the same time.
