Joy Reid: Neo-Nazis, KKK Don’t Necessarily View Trump as a Part of Them, But Things that He’s Saying Fit Their Ideology

EXCERPT:

REID: “I want to come back to another thing that we see happening, Jelani, which is that this is all happening at the time when neo-Nazis are literally marching in the streets. And there has been an uptick in their presence in communities. This is -- the Ku Klux Klan flyers dropped in northern Indiana calling for people to mass deport themselves. Protesters waving Nazi flags at a 'Diary of Anne Frank' production in Michigan, swastika flags, slurs, neo-Nazi marchers. And this is what an entity wrote that talked about this phenomenon, that they don't necessarily view Donald Trump as a part of them, but what they feel is that when he says things like immigrants poison the blood of the country and that he wants to mass deport them, that fits in their ideology and their end game is he fails to deport 16 million people. And then white Americans look to them and say, 'We need to do it your way.' So another set of grievances that at this far, far, far right is turning to Trump to solve.”
