Anti-Defamation League CEO Rebukes Trump for Saying White Nationalism Not a Rising Threat: ‘Wrong on the Facts’

‘He needs to represent our values’

EXCERPT:

BALDWIN: "So, when the President says, no, no, it’s just a small number of people?"

GREENBLATT: "Well, he’s wrong on the facts. The data doesn't lie. We had nearly 1,200 instances of white supremacists propaganda incidents in the U.S. last year. That's the most we’ve ever seen. We had 90-plus actual rallies or events that happened last year. That’s almost a 20-percent rise as well. And, of course, 50 extremist-related murders last year, 49 of which were committed by people with extremist right-wing ideologies, the vast majority of whom  were white supremacists."
