LETTER: Racial attacks spawned from Trump’s racist history

The racism in America boiled up Aug. 12 in Charlottesville, Va., and in Seattle.

These ugly racist events are the spawn of Trump’s racist history.

His father was arrested at a KKK riot in 1927.

Trump’s “bedside reader,” “My New Order,” was written by Hitler.

Trump’s closest advisers are from the alt-right.

Steve Bannon, editor of Breitbart and Trump’s former chief strategist, described Breitbart as the alt-right platform.

Steve Miller, Trump’s senior adviser, has alleged associations with Richard Spencer and Sebastian Gorka’s Nazi medal on his lapel.

Some elected Republicans openly support this administration’s fascism-racism, and few have spoken up against it.

I am convinced that Trump supports these swastika-flagged Nazi hate groups by default; he was unable initially to condemn them by name.

He did not condemn the act of domestic terrorism with one death and 19 injured for three days.

The Republican Party must support them as well because they are mostly silent about the hate groups that love Trump, soiling their party.

In the past, Republicans soundly condemned the KKK and other hate groups, but not now.

The Nazi Party is outlawed in Germany for good reason, that party of hatred and bigotry that nearly destroyed the world and killed many Americans.

Now Trump supporters are openly giving the Nazi salutes and the American taxpayer is making payroll for Nazi friendlies in Trump’s Cabinet.

Will we soon see elaborate Nazi banners hanging from government buildings?

Are these Nazis coming for the vulnerable and opposition groups one by one?

Has it already begun by Trump coming after the free press and transgenders?
