Jim Hoft brought his special combination of factual inaccuracy and overuse of exclamation points to the White House briefing room today.

If you somehow missed the fact that Pepe has been adopted by the alt-right and a lot of Neo-Nazis, browse through this Google image search a little and educate yourself. Here are some examples:

I, for one, am thrilled to see the symbols of the alt-right being brought openly into our White House, aren’t you?
