Meet the the pillars of the white nationalist alt-right movement

http://mashable.com/2016/08/27/alt-right-white-men-pillars-of-movement/#B7w7DcqaqsqS


The alt-right — a collection of organizations, individuals and internet memes that advocate against immigration and for white nationalism and are widely seen as racist — stepped onto the mainstream political stage on Thursday when Hillary Clinton name-checked it in a speech decrying racism and her opponent, Donald Trump.
