Summary
Luke Meyer, a regional field director for Donald Trump’s campaign in western Pennsylvania, was fired after it was revealed that he was a prominent white nationalist known by the alias Alberto Barbarossa. His online activities included promoting white nationalist views and co-hosting a podcast with Richard Spencer, a figure associated with the alt-right movement.
Meyer’s employment came to an end after Politico exposed his identity and extremist beliefs. He expressed relief at no longer having to hide his views and suggested that white nationalism was already part of the Trump campaign. Following the revelations, the Pennsylvania GOP quickly terminated his position, stating that they had no prior knowledge of his activities and condemned his hateful ideology. Meyer had worked for the Trump campaign for five months, focusing on mobilizing volunteers and grassroots efforts, and his termination highlights ongoing concerns about extremist ideologies infiltrating political movements.
