Trump retweets another apparent white supremacist
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Tuesday retweeted an apparent white supremacist, something he’s done multiple times this election.

The user, who goes by the name Jason Bergkamp, writes for an online publication called Vanguard 14. According to its website, the publication covers issues like “white nationalism and genocide.” Bergkamp’s bio on the site says he is a “Dutch based journalist writing about European, American and South African events.”
{mosads}Bergkamp has frequently tweeted pictures of scantily clad white women using the hashtag #WhiteGirlsAreMagic.
Trump has shared social media posts from apparent white supremacists multiple times during his campaign. In January, the GOP front-runner retweeted a user with the handle “WhiteGenocideTM.” And in November of last year, he shared an image from a user that depicted false homicide statistics claiming that black people were killing white people at an alarming rate.
A search of Trump’s Twitter history showed that he has retweeted praise from the Dutch white supremacist at least six times since launching his campaign last year.
