The Clinton campaign has called out Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos among other right-wing commentators and politicians as “sinister” forces involved in the Trump campaign.
In a blog post, one of Clinton’s senior strategists, Elizabeth Chan criticised Donald Trump Jr’s decision to post a photo entitled ‘The Deplorables,’ which was photo of Trump leading an army of his most prominent supporters.
The photo is a mockery of Clinton’s claim last week that half of Donald Trump’s supporters are a “basket of deplorables,” something for which she later expressed “regret.”
Aside from Trump and his two sons, the photo included politicians such as Ben Carson and Chris Christie, radio host Alex Jones, Republican strategist Roger Stone, Milo himself, as well as Pepe the Frog, a popular internet meme.
Chan claims that Pepe the Frog is a “symbol associated with white supremacy,” adding that Milo’s “racism and bigotry is so egregious that Twitter banned him from using their site.”
The post concludes by saying that the photo is “horrifying” and the only solution is to vote for Hillary Clinton.
