The social media summit President Trump is hosting at the White House today is essentially a hate summit at the White House.
"By hosting guests that include conspiracy theorists and extremists, President Trump continues to support and normalize hate speech targeting immigrants, Muslims, Jews, the LGBTQ+ community, and others." — SPLC's Heidi Beirich
That's irresponsible — and not the first time this administration has opened the White House doors to organized hate.
The radical right — long relegated to the fringes — now has a toehold in the White House.
President Trump has opened the White House doors to extremism, not only consulting with hate groups on policies that erode our country’s civil rights protections but enabling the infiltration of extremist ideas into the administration’s rhetoric and agenda.
Every month we track incidents that illustrate the hate and extremism permeating the Trump administration. They include tweets, speeches, policy actions, legal developments and other activities involving Trump, White House advisers, Cabinet members and federal agencies.
