Two blocks from the White House,
members of America’s white nationalist movement gathered over the
weekend to debate whether Jews are white, how the country could be
divided along racial lines—and whether Trump is a savior.
It was something everyone in the room had clearly put a lot of thought into: Are Jews white?
“It’s
an interesting question,” replied Richard Spencer, the 37-year-old
University of Virginia grad and former journalist who’s become the de facto leader of America’s white nationalist movement. “I would say Jews are Jews.”
Spencer is the president of the National Policy Institute, a think tank
“dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of European people in
the United States and around the world.” And this was NPI’s big shindig,
its semi-annual Halloween conference in the heart of downtown
Washington, D.C. This year, it was held at the National Press Club, just
two blocks from the White House where the nation’s first black
president resides.
