Does anyone have a list of the reporters that were in that gaggle where he said, "Quiet, Piggy"?
You know, the ones who refused to support their colleague?
I'd like to know who they are because they should be named and shamed.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
