Maryland case was widely promoted by Carlson, Fox, and other right-wing pundits, but they fall silent as charges are dismissed as groundless.

In January, the night before alt-right figure Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak at the University of California, Berkeley, two members of the white supremacist group American Renaissance got in a fistfight with other young men after they were caught plastering trees and buildings around campus with posters that proclaimed, “Embrace white identity!”

BERKELEY, California — Antigovernment extremists stood shoulder-to-shoulder with "alt-right" extremists and anti-feminists. Nearby, a ragtag mix of Trump supporters were draped in American flags and decked in helmets stickered with images of Pepe the Frog, the popular cartoon frog meme employed by the white nationalist “alt-right.” 

They carried clubs and medical kits, radios and reinforcement in the event of violent skirmishes that have shaken the University of California, Berkeley campus. But by Thursday’s end, the next chapter in what Richard Spencer has called “The Battle of Berkeley” was a bust.

White nationalists and their agenda infiltrate the mainstream.
