GOP strategist Rick Wilson didn’t hold back, when he told Chris Hayes of MSNBC what he thought about Donald Trump and his rabid ‘fan boy’ followers! Wilson was talking about Trump’s “alt-right” fans, not to be confused with mainstream supporters…A fine line, but one Wilson feels is significant. The group Scott describes as the ‘alt-right’ screamers and crazies who love Donald Trump can – in part be identified by having lots of “Hitler iconography in their Twitter icons.”
As if to clearly identify the group, Wilson said; “Most of them are childless single men who m—— to anime’.” They’re not real political players. These are not people who matter in the overall course of humanity.”
Wilson may well have nailed it, to the astonishment of co-panelists Joy Reid and Charlie Peters.
We only hope that Sarah Palin won’t replace anime’ for them in the months to come, and that they will remain as insignificant in the outcome of the election as Rick Wilson fervently hopes they are.
