McInnes went on to say that the whole idea of "white nationalism and white supremacy was a cruck." We are a multi-racial club with blacks, Jews, gays, Asians etc." "We disavow all forms of alt-right, white supremacy, white nationalism etc. "We are not an extremist group and we do not have ties with white nationalists," he said.
