“Alt-right leader Richard Spencer told reporters from his "office" that he doesn’t think President Donald Trump condemned his movement on Monday when he denounced neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, and white supremacists.
"His statement today was more kumbaya nonsense," said Spencer, who attended and was slated to speak at the white nationalist "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday. "Only a dumb person would take those lines seriously."
Trump said on Monday that "racism is evil" and denounced "the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans."
Spencer, however, insisted that the president had not denounced white nationalists or the "alt-right" movement he founded several years ago.
"I don't think he condemned it, no," Spencer said. "Did he say 'white nationalist?' 'Racist' means an irrational hatred of people. I don't think he meant any of us.’"
