White supremacists in MT

In Montana, the Flathead has been a focus of activity by white supremacists trying to draw to the state a population with similar leanings, Rivas said.

Missoula also has seen its fair share of activity, especially around the year 2000, she said. However, a couple of times a year, off and on for the past few years, the network will receive reports of action by the far right in Missoula.

"There's at least been a spike for the time being," Rivas said. "I can only hope it wanes, but I do think that the white supremacist movement has themselves claimed Donald Trump as their candidate, so they feel, I think, very empowered right now."

Councilwoman Emily Bentley said she is looking to Republicans who were elected into office to speak against the rhetoric and violence.

"I've personally been asking them to show leadership and speak out against this hate. It's so awful," Bentley said.

She said the Trump supporters she knows do not support hate or the Nazi agenda.

"I feel strongly that most Trump supporters, especially the silent supporters, did not vote for bigotry and hate but voted in spite of it because they were suffering," Bentley said.
