Will Discussion Ever Branch From Russia And Trump Into White Supremacists?
That link seems never to get mentioned. And if there's a bridge that would yield solid evidence of cooperation it seems some of it would be communications and sharing information between Russian, White Supremacists and Trumpland.
Breitbart has gone to great lengths to try and make Bannon seem like a maligned innocent regarding white supremacy.
But he admittedly has made Breitbart News “the platform for Alt-Right” views. “’We're the platform for the alt-right,’ Bannon told me [reporter David Corn] proudly when I interviewed him at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in July.”
Alt-Right leaders around America claim that Bannon is their man in the White House: “Bannon is our man in the White House” said Andrew Anglin from the Neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer. Tony Hovater, a key member of the white nationalist Traditionalist Workers Party (TWP) responded gleefully on Facebook to Bannon’s appointment as Chief White House Strategist:
Self-described white nationalist Matthew Heimbach, who said he identifies as a member of the alt-right, has praised Putin's Russia as "the axis for nationalists."
“I really believe that Russia is the leader of the free world right now," Heimbach told Business Insider in a recent interview. "Putin is supporting nationalists around the world and building an anti-globalist alliance, while promoting traditional values and self-determination."

A right-wing conference in St. Petersburg, Russia, organized last year by Russia's nationalist Rodina, or Motherland, party offered a safe space for fringe thinkers — including white supremacists and anti-Semites — to gather and rail against the US-led status quo.
There, American "race realist" Jared Taylor called the US "the greatest enemy of tradition everywhere." Klu Klux Klan attorney Sam Dickson also attended, and he joined Taylor in calling for the preservation of "[the white] race and civilization."

David Duke, the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, has traveled to Russia several times to promote his book "The Ultimate Supremacism: My Awakening on the Jewish Question." The book has been sold openly in the main lobby of the State Duma (Congress) for the equivalent of about $2, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Preston Wiginton, a white supremacist from Texas who sublets Duke's Moscow apartment when he travels to Russia, has written that his "best friends" in Russia — "the only nation that understands RAHOWA [Racial Holy War]" — are "leading skinheads."
Last year, he invited the ultranationalist Dugin to speak at his alma mater, Texas A&M University. This year he invited Spencer, who spoke there on Tuesday.
