Shocking. Another White Nationalist Trump Delegate | TPM Editors Blog

Lori Gayne, a Trump delegate from Illinois whose twitter handle is "whitepride". Admittedly, in Gayne's case, "open racist" may be a more apt description.

The Chicago Tribune provides us with more details ...

"With all the racism going on today, I'm very proud to be white. Just like black people are proud to be black and now, as white people, whenever we say something critical we're punished as if we're racists. I'm tired of it. I'm very proud," Gayne said.

"I'm so angry I don't even feel like I live in America. You can call me a racist. Black Lives Matter? Those people are out of control," she said.

"I'm all for closing the borders. I'm all for not allowing Muslims in this country. I'm all for keeping illegals out and get as many of them who are here out as soon as possible. ... Why do I want my taxpayer money taking care of criminals and murderers who aren't supposed to be here?"
