1. This term was made up by hannity

Hannity made up this term https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-is-the-alt-left-trump-was-talking-about/

So who uses the term "alt-left"?
It grew out of the conservative media. In particular, Fox News host Sean Hannity, an outspoken supporter of Mr. Trump, frequently references the alt-left on Twitter.

In a November appearance on Hannity's show, former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said the alt-left think Trump voters "are misogynists and misanthropes and negative people."
