Michael Popok puts the outrageous appearance in perspective and analyzes the fall of Gorsuch.”
YES THE SUPREME COURT REPUBLICANS ARE “ALT RIGHT” WHITE SUPREMACISTS IN BLACK, NOT KKK WHITE ROBES WITH HOODS.
THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER HAS ARTICLES ABOUT THE ALT RIGHT:
"By late 2018, organized and planned far-right rallies had dramatically declined. But the far right was making its presence known in other ways. While public demonstrations ebbed, far-right attacks have become deadlier during the Trump era.
Between 2014 and 2018, men influenced by the alt-right in the United States and Canada killed 81 people, according to numbers tabulated by the SPLC. At least 40 of those killings happened in 2018. Thirteen were in October alone, when two Black people were gunned down in a Kentucky grocery store, followed by the massacre of 11 worshippers at a Pittsburgh synagogue.
In 2019, after a white supremacist was accused of killing 51 people in an attack on New Zealand Muslims, a man in Poway, California, attempted to emulate that attack. His rifle apparently jammed after he entered the Chabad of Poway synagogue on the final day of Passover, but one person was killed and three others injured. An online manifesto tied to the suspect took credit for setting fire to the Islamic Center of Escondido, California, a month earlier. Then in August, a man entered an El Paso Walmart and killed 22 people. An online manifesto linked to that suspect claimed a “Hispanic invasion” was threatening Texas.
More violence was planned or attempted. A Missouri man, Taylor Wilson, was sentenced to 14 years in prison on a terrorism charge after boarding a secure area of an Amtrak train armed with a handgun. Law enforcement said it foiled a plot by Coast Guard Lt. Christopher Hasson, a self-described white supremacist, to kill Democratic politicians and media figures. Hasson pleaded guilty to federal gun and drug charges. Cesar Sayoc pleaded guilty to mailing pipe bombs (which turned out to be duds) to more than a dozen Trump critics and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. A man pleaded guilty to threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, who is a Muslim. In less than three weeks following the El Paso shootings, CNN reported that police arrested more than two dozen people accused of threatening to commit mass shootings."
