President-elect Donald Trump on Monday issued a vague denunciation of a white nationalist conference that celebrated his victory with Nazi propaganda, responding in a short statement from his transition team. “President-elect Trump has continued to denounce racism of any kind, and he was elected because he will be a leader for every American,” the statement reads. “To think otherwise is a complete misrepresentation of the movement that united Americans from all backgrounds.”Over the weekend, a conference of white nationalists met in Washington, D.C., to laud Trump’s victory. The celebration included racist rhetoric and Nazi chants, and attendees gave Nazi salutes.
