SEP 11 2016

Coverage from September 11th, 2016, when NBC, CNN, The Hill, Vanity Fair and Talking Points Memo described Pepe as a white nationalist symbol and the Clinton campaign published an explainer calling the frog "sinister". The Daily Dot ran the counter-argument the same week: "Pepe the Frog is not a Nazi, no matter what the alt-right says."
