Alt-Lite Furious With ADL Over Hate Speech List

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!!

Far right-wing personalities are attacking the Anti-Defamation League after the civil rights organization included them them on a “hate speech” list.

Several white nationalists and conspiracy theorists pushed back at the ADL’s branding them “alt-lite,” accusing the group of instigating violence against them for backing President Trump.

“The ADL is trying to get my family murdered #ADLTerror” tweeted Mike Cernovich, labeled as an “alt-lite” pundit and known for popularizing the PizzaGate conspiracy theory. Added Jack Posobeic, an organizer of the DeploraBall party in Washington, D.C.: “The ADL is now targeting Trump supporters with hate lists. What’s next, will they issue gold stars? #ADLTerror.”

The “alt-lite,” seen as a less virulent strain of the racist and xenophobic “alt-right,” was defined by the ADL as a “loosely-connected movement whose adherents generally shun white supremacist thinking, but who are in step with the alt right in their hatred of feminists and immigrants, among others.”

It's good reading. I'm glad they included "alt-lite" because the truth is that so many followers on Twitter of 'alt-lite' people are in fact racists, and alt-lite people refuse to distance themselves from their far right followers - in fact they pander to them.
