Luke Meyer, a regional field director working for Donald Trump’s campaign in Pennsylvania since July, was fired last Friday by the state GOP following reporting by Politico that he hosts a white nationalist podcast under the pseudonym Alberto Barbarossa.

As Barbarossa, Meyer co-hosts “Alexandria” with Richard Spencer, who organized the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. On the podcast, Meyer has espoused the view that whites should reclaim America’s demographic makeup.

“Why can’t we make New York, for example, white again? Why can’t we clear out and reclaim Miami?” Meyer asked while guest hosting a different podcast in June, according to Politico. “I’m not saying we need to be 100 percent homogeneous. I’m not saying we need to be North Korea or Japan or anything like that. A return to 80 percent, 90 percent white would probably be, probably the best we could hope for, to some degree.”

    The only surprise here is that they fired him.
