Trump has a cozy relationship with people who launch anti-Semitic attacks on journalists who challenge Trump, who would like to re-segregate America, and who launch invective-laced diatribes about Muslim Americans.

Hillary Clinton lifted the veil on her opponent’s ties to white supremacists as reported as by Adele M. Stan in AlterNet.

Trump’s been getting away with this stuff for a long, long time. As Fortune magazine reported, between December 2015 and March of this year, he retweeted Twitter posts from white supremacist accounts some 75 times. In Cleveland, during the Republican National Convention, his adviser Roger Stone cohosted a rally with right-wing radio talk-show host Alex Jones that featured the alt-right darling Milo Yiannopoulos of Breitbart News as a speaker. (The next day, Yiannopoulos was banned by Twitter for his racist attacks on the actor/comedian Leslie Jones for the crime of being black and female and starring in the reboot of the Ghostbusters movie franchise.)

Through all of that, mainstream media still only cocked its head a bit—until the hiring last week of Stephen K. Bannon as Trump’s campaign chief. As luck would have it, before he officially joined the campaign, journalist Sarah Posner caught up with Bannon during the RNC at a screening of his latest film, Torchbearer, which Bannon wrote and directed. In that interview, Bannon made a boast that turned the gaze of Big Media his way. Speaking of the Breitbart site, Bannon told Posner, “We’re the platform for the alt-right.”

(The alt-right is not a pretty place. Just take a gander at the hashtag #altright—but wait until after you’ve eaten.)

Bannon came in for special attention in the Clinton speech. She even read off a raft of headlines from Breitbart News:

“Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy.”

“Would You Rather Your Child Had Feminism or Cancer?”

“Gabby Giffords: The Gun Control Movement’s Human Shield”

“Hoist It High And Proud: The Confederate Flag Proclaims A Glorious Heritage”

In a speech delivered to a rally at Truckee Community College in Reno, Nevada (video below), Clinton spoke in a concerned and conversational tone, turning away from the more stern demeanor she has often displayed on the campaign trail. “From the start,” she said, “Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia.”
