How did I not know that the white supremacist Jared Taylor was a VIP guest at Trump's inauguration?
The explicit, open ties between the mainstream GOP and overt, frothing white supremacists are so much more extensive than conventional wisdom acknowledges. It's a massive failure of the media and the Democratic Party.
Jared Taylor's Wikipedia page has a "Donald Trump" section but no reference to his presence as an invited guest at the inauguration. If anyone has sufficient editing privileges to add that, it'd be a worthwhile use of five minutes.
Taylor's page is locked to casual edits, or I'd do it myself. Here's the relevant cite: inquirer.com/philly/news/po…
Jared Taylor is in the absolute top ranks of organized white supremacy in the United States. To invite him to a presidential inauguration, in 2017, is an unambiguous embrace of his ideology. It's astonishing to me—yes, even now—that this wasn't a huge scandal.
This is like inviting David Duke to the inauguration. That's the scale of this.
And yeah, journalists? It's not too late to make inquiries as to who invited Jared Taylor, dean of American white supremacists, to sit in the VIP section at Trump's inauguration.
