We Can't Believe Someone Yelled This At Donald Trump's Rally

There was a really ugly moment at Donald Trump's rally in Mobile, AL, on Friday night.

It wasn't terribly surprising, considering Trump's recent statements. A video from the event captured a guy/racist yelling out "White power!" as Trump stumped. Interestingly, as he was wearing his trademark "Make America Great Again" hat, Trump didn't address the person yelling that horrible phrase.

Daily Kos also reports that wasn't lone supremacist in attendance, noting "white power" was "yelled out multiple times by people in the crowd, repeatedly."

The history of the phrase is fraught with racial animosity and murder. As recently as 2010, the phrase was shouted during the racially motivated murder of James Craig Anderson, a Black auto plant worker in Mississippi.

Also of note: Trump's campaign might have overshot the anticipated attendance for the event. ABC News reported the event was moved from a Mobile hotel to a convention center to the 40,000-seat Ladd-Peebles Stadium to accommodate a swelling crowd of thousands. And while Trump's team claims 30,000 people were in attendance, that headcount looks mighty inflated judging by this panorama from the event:

While that's still a lot of folks rallying for Trump's anti-immigration, anti-women, and even anti-Oreo agenda, perhaps it's a sign that his campaign's bark is louder than its electoral bite. Or to put it another way, here's hoping the actual number of white supremacist voters is far smaller than the gulf of their racism.
