Presumably a smart move for Trump. Has to start working to bring people together.
* Searched and found a Twitter thread but it's a total cluster (credit to Jbird though)

In a far-ranging interview with the New York Times, the US president-elect was quoted as saying: "I condemn them. I disavow, and I condemn."

Now MSM runs to alt-right (whomever they are) and starts shite saying "See, Trump has turned his back on you".

Just the whole thing, man. Title and discussion (either Twitter copy-and-pastes are really garbled or I'm getting old or both).

I'm not sure he needed to disavow the alt right.
Alt right isn't racist by definition. But that's the media's game.

To be fair, no one seems very sure what the hell makes someone alt-right or not.

Breaking: Trump disavows term made up by Clintons

Im alt right and I know that Trumpy loves me and my memes
Posted on 11/22/16 at 2:00 pm to the808bass
Yeah. I agree. That's a tough spot though. The media narrative would have been that Trump is a racist for not disavowing though.
They are just waiting for their opportunities to blast the President after being patient for 8 long years.

What will he do without that crucial voting bloc of approximately 25,000 individuals?

I don't believe you are actually alt right.
We have same views as them but you not full blown white power?

President-elect Donald Trump denied Tuesday that he did anything to energize the "alt-right" movement through his presidential campaign and sought to distance himself from it, even though many of the movement's leaders have sought to tether their political views to Trump's rise.
"I don't want to energize the group, and I disavow the group," Trump told a group of New York Times reporters and columnists during a meeting at the newspaper's headquarters in New York.
"It's not a group I want to energize, and if they are energized, I want to look into it and find out why," he added, according to one of the Times reporters in the room, Michael Grynbaum.
Trump offered up the condemnation of the alt-right, a far-right political movement rife with white nationalist, anti-Semitic and racist ideologies, after The New York Times' executive editor Dean Baquet asked Trump if he feels he did things to energize the alt-right.

But yes, it is getting annoying to hear some reporters constantly press Trump to say "I disavow".
