Susan Page: It’s Difficult To Go to a Conference that Draws White Nationalists and Make Uncontroversial Remarks

‘It raises questions about what this White House is willing to tolerate’

EXCERPT:

PAGE: "Well, he was clearly welcomed after he worked for some time as a key speech writer. So that welcome, I guess one question is, how fully did the White House know about his views? Even a cursory clearance process should have turned up views that are offensive to Americans, white nationalist views. It’s difficult to go to a conference that draws white nationalists and make uncontroversial remarks just by the nature of the venue. So it raises questions about what this White House is willing to tolerate and also how well its processes work on just the totally routine processes of trying to do clearances of people that you’re going to bring into the White House as your key staffers."
