Arun Gupta on PDX and the Alt-Right
Bill Resnick talks with Arun Gupta, who reported from within the alt right gathering in Portland and here discusses why the right is targeting Portland and using the whitest city in the nation as a recruiting ground. He discusses the collusion of the Portland Police and the contrast with responses in other cities, suggesting that the recent arrests of right-wing brawlers were prompted by the El Paso pogrom. Listen for a detailed account of who came to town, their social media campaign, and the role of police and the federal government. Gupta has also reported on these issues in venues including The Intercept and Jacobin.
