I cover the White House.

And today on the show, President Trump recently got a lot of attention for posting an overtly racist meme.

But researchers who specialize in extremism say it's much bigger than one errant post.

There's a pattern of government agencies under Trump using white nationalist messaging.

Odette, you have been reporting on this, and I'm hoping that you can just start out by describing some of these messages and images coming from federal agencies so we can get a sense of what we're talking about here.

Right.

Like if I hadn't read your story, that just that doesn't mean anything to me.

You've mentioned several cases.

How widespread is this?

So Odette, the administration is posting a whole bunch of things.

Why does it matter?
