On CNN, Anderson Cooper asked Trump point-blank if he was embracing the alt-right.
“I don’t even know — nobody even knows what it is,” Trump said.
Cooper responded by pointing out that Stephen Bannon, the former Breitbart News boss who Trump recently appointed as his new campaign CEO, has boasted about his site’s ties to the alt-right.
“We’re the platform for the alt-right,” Bannon point-blank told Mother Jones at the Republican National Convention.
To Cooper on Thursday, however, Trump responded by doubling down on claims of ignorance: “I don’t know what Steve said.”
