Link to tweet
"14 Words" is a reference to the most popular white supremacist slogan in the world: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The slogan was coined by David Lane, a member of the white supremacist terrorist group known as The Order (Lane died in prison in 2007). The term reflects the primary white supremacist worldview in the late 20th and early 21st centuries: that unless immediate action is taken, the white race is doomed to extinction by an alleged "rising tide of color" purportedly controlled and manipulated by Jews.
Because of its widespread popularity, white supremacists reference this slogan constantly, in its full form as well as in abbreviated versions such as "14 Words", "Fourteen Words," or simply the number "14."

Edit to add: There is no sentence or paragraph in Trump's speech with 14 words.

And the title of the article she linked to doesn't mention "14 words". So this sent was a dog whistle to white supremacists.

They've changed it now to 8 words. The entire FB feed of the young cons is full of fake news.

This is really disturbing.

... this is Sarah Palin we're talking about. She could have been talking about some phrase Trump used that had more than six words - I'm not sure she can count that high.

(11,360 posts)6. She's an idiot.
Why should we pay more attention to what she says that she does?
Every word is certainly not planned in this sort of statement.
