Campaign Staffer Fired Over White Nationalism Links

A Trump campaign staffer in Pennsylvania, Luke Meyer, was fired after being identified as a white supremacist who used the pseudonym Alberto Barbarossa online. Meyer, who had worked as a regional field director, co-hosted a podcast with Richard Spencer, known for organizing the 2017 Unite the Right rally, and made several racist remarks online. The discovery was made by Politico's Amanda Moore, who linked Meyer to his online alias, leading to his dismissal by the Pennsylvania Republican Party. Meyer admitted to concealing his identity from colleagues and expressed relief at no longer needing to hide his views. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about extremist elements within political campaigns.
