On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” former Clinton campaign Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri argued President Trump gave white supremacists a platform during his campaign.
Palmieri said, “I believe that we know what this president is. He’s someone who, throughout his campaign, gave white supremacists a platform. You know, Richard Spencer, the white supremacist leader, said his — their ideas didn’t have anywhere to go until Trump. So — and he has allowed that to happen and continues to allow that to happen as president. So, we know that. And so I think the question is, are we going to survive it? And the fact that Republican leaders and some Democrats are not as welcoming as I feel about seeing Republican leaders make statements that are critical of the president and that denounce this racism, white supremacists in very clear terms. But that’s the only hope that we have to survive this in a way that we come out of a post-Trump era, whenever that is.”
