At the height of the election season last September, Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables.” The comments spread like wildfire, and the next day, Clinton walked them back.
Yet the sentiment that a new movement of white nationalists was growing is true.
Kai Wright takes a look at the so-called “basket of deplorables” and the alt-right movement that has emerged in recent years, from neo-Nazis to people fighting in the so-called “war on men.” He also chats with Note to Self's Manoush Zomorodi and Kat Aaron about how white supremacists are arming themselves online.
“The goal is just chaos. The goal is to shut down civic discourse to make spaces where people are discussing important topics just so toxic that most people shut down,” said Aaron.
