Read @AsteadWesley’s latest dispatch on white identity politics—this one from St. Cloud, Minnesota, where a group of Trump-supporting, xenophobic “concerned citizens” are targeting Muslim immigrants who are, as one angry lady put it, “just walking around.” nyti.ms/2WVTQY0
This kind of thing is not without recent precedent. Only two years ago, @itscaitlinhd covered a similar outbreak of misbegotten hatred in Idaho, spurred on by none other than Steve Bannon’s Breitbart website. nyti.ms/2ypNiAh
This was the first in @AsteadWesley’s series on white identity politics, a March story on a Pennsylvania campaign colored by a false belief that white people and their culture are being replaced. Necessary reporting that gets the “Trump voter” stuff right. nyti.ms/2UCOhbV
