In a room of around 200 white supremacists, the celebration of Donald Trump’s victory is almost deafening.
‘Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!’ was shouted by ultra-right wing movement leader Richard B Spencer addressed the room.
His call to arms was greeted with whoops, hollering and even Nazi salutes.
Spencer has given gravity to the so-called ‘alt-right’ movement that has galvanised in the lead up and following Trump’s victory.
In his ideal world, Spencer dreams of ‘peaceful ethnic cleansing’ and ‘a new society, an ethno-state that would be a gathering point for all Europeans’.
A video excerpt from an Atlantic documentary, filmed at the National Policy Institute in Washington, shows him saying: ‘America was until this past generation a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity.
‘It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us,’ he finishes, to a standing ovation.
The US Holocaust Memorial Museum released a powerful statement condemning the startling comments.
‘The Holocaust did not begin with killing; it began with words.’
