President Candidate Muckraker


                In this article it talks about how the some people think that the United States will see the creation of a white ethno-state within the next couple decades. According to William Daniel Johnson, a Los Angeles-based lawyer, he thinks Donald Trump’s candidacy is helping us move in that direction. William Johnson also said that “whether Donald Trump is elected or not, his candidacy is a big factor in helping destroy this middle-of –the-road Republican mindset.”

                Johnson is also the chairman of the American Freedom Party which is a white nationalist political party. He also founded the PAC which he used to encourage people, voters, to turn out for Donald Trump. Trump later went on with his campaigning and shared his ideas about how he wants to deport all the eleven million illegal immigrants in the United States. Though Johnson helped Trump in different ways, he never communicated with him or any member of his campaign. The article goes on saying how “Donald Trump’s campaign may help remind Americans that all genocide, even against white people is evil.” Over all this article talks more about William Daniel Johnson but it refers back to Trump and his ideas and beliefs as he runs for president.
