White Nationalist Media Cheers Trump’s ‘Almost Perfect’ Immigration Speech

Published with permission from Media Matters of America

Donald Trump’s August 31 immigration speech was an angry, hateful rant that sought to fearmonger over the purported dangers immigrants pose to the United States. Trump’s white nationalist media supporters loved it.
