PP has it wrong. He did no such thing.
This is his statement (posted upthread):

"In some of our intern pictures, I emulated the OK sign the President sometimes makes," he said. "That was foolish. I should have listened more closely to the Commander-in-Chief and given the thumbs up. I'm proud of my Jewish heritage and strongly reject the hateful views associated with racist white power organizations. I would never make common cause with them."

In other words: the intern didn't know he was flashing a white power sign. He was copying Trump. Does Trump know what he's doing when he makes that sign?

And, I guess all the liberals who use tiki torches for their summer backyard parties are totally unaware that they are aligning themselves with white supremacists. Do they even know what they are doing?

(I hate it when people “appropriate” a harmless sign or item - AOK - and then assume that anyone who uses that sign or item is somehow “stained” as a result.)

THIS. Makes me want to go out and buy a bunch of tiki torches, have a backyard bbq, and just wait for the idiots to accuse me of being a white supremacist. Talk about idiocracy. Liberals have perfected that concept.

Bet you wouldn't march around Charlottesville with one though. Or would you?

I wouldn't march, period. I leave the virtue signaling to you guys.

Not march in a crowd, just walk around downtown Charlottesville carrying a tiki torch. Would you do it? Do you think it might be sending a message in that particular context?

I wouldn't do it, no. But not because I think it sends any kind of message. Because it would be ridiculous and pointless to do so. But would I have a backyard bbq, complete with tiki torches - in Charlottesville? Yes, I certainly would. Rational, sane people would be invited, and anyone outraged would be laughed at.

Why is is unreasonable to think someone associated with this White House would harbor racist alt-right "Pepe" views? Here is a tweet from the Gateway Pundit alt-right idiots, where they're flashing the same Pepe symbol in the White House press briefing room, and they even include Pepe the frog in their tweet to make crystal clear the symbolism they're pushing.

You keep proving my point.

Most of the users of Pepe (and the creation in 2005) weren't racist. Most of the users of the a-ok sign aren't racist, devil-worshiping, communists. Some people may have co-opted its meaning. Just like some people have coopted the color red. To assume anyone wearing red is a member of a gang is as idiotic as assuming anyone flashing the a-ok sign is doing so to secretly signal he's a white supremacist is idiotic.

Some climate scientists have been overblown in their predictions of disaster, therefore all claims of global warming are false!eleventy

But if you're going to a meeting with some Crips do you wear red?

If you're going to a violent protest - I mean, "meeting" - with Antifa, do you wear black? Probably.

Some guy walks down the street with a tiki torch in hand in downtown Charlottesville and you really don't think anyone would connect that to the Unite the Right rally? I think he'd get his a$$ kicked.

Tiki torch in a backyard doesn't mean anything. Tiki torch on C-ville street means something. Context matters.

I wouldn't. Would you? Because in that context the shirt color means something.

Oh virtue signaling....
....like when the Alt Right does cute little hand gestures?
....like Make America Great Again hats sold by a con artist family?
....like the creation of memes and a stupid frog mascot?

Lol, you do realize that the Right far and away uses virtue signaling to identify one another, right?

Virtue signaling does not mean what you think it does, dolt.

Like how Republicand kept saying "Trump that bitch!" and "....but her emails!" in order to establish in-group solidarity?

AHAHHAHAHHAHAH.

A reclusive neo-Nazi who co-runs the white supremacist Daily Stormer website, and recently said Jewish children "deserve to die," has Jewish relatives on “both sides of his family,” his mother told Newsweek.

Andrew “Weev” Auernheimer, who handles the technical side of Stormer alongside editor Andrew Anglin, said on a podcast last month that Jews were to blame for the website's loss of its dot com address after a white man allegedly killed peaceful protester Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August. Subsequently, the site has been forced to jump around the internet.

Will DCUM's resident Jewish Conservative now finally eat crow? Do we need anymore proof that members of the Alt Right are f#cked in the head?

OMG. Seek therapy.

What for? PP is correct.

+1, and I'm not a hysterical leftie or a 22yo. I am one of the "olds" these young'uns keep referring to. You missed the operative phrase in the ADL's writeup:

'It is important to acknowledge that the 'okay' hand gesture is one of the most common hand gestures in the United States, that most employment of that gesture is entirely innocuous, and that no racist or extremist implications should be read into its use unless the context of its use provides additional evidence to support such a finding.

I think we can assume that when a bunch of white nationalists are all using the gesture at their events and on SM that they have appropriated a commonly innocuous social gesture as a signal to one another, and that when a WH intern uses it instead of a thumbs up (as everyone else did) that he knows just what he is doing. The context of the use in this case does indeed provide evidence of racist or extremist intent, IMO. OP is 100% correct. The alt-right knows EXACTLY what they are doing by using a common gesture like this - making it palatable, and defensible, and deniable. And when these punk ass bitches use it, they should be called on it. I have no doubt this intern is one of said punk ass bitches. Just wait - he'll be the next Richard Spencer or Stephen Miller in 5 years.

Wow, that’s pretty clear there what that gesture is about, especially given the previous 2 posts.

DJT makes that gesture all the time, by the way.

Not surprising after I saw SOTU address and the mostly white, patriarchal, OLD crowd. Live it up old boys, the next gen is going to bring us up to the 21st century and soon.

I mean you as*holes use words like “Globalist”, “cuck”, soy boy and have your little Pepi the frog alt right white nonsense. I guarantee this kid was putting up that symbol that way. You idiots are ruining this country. I’m sorry to be so rude about everything.

When everything is racism, nothing—not one thing, is racism. Keep it up Dems, this kind of idiocy is digging your grave for the 2018 mid terms.
