Disowned US nationalist says, family doing the 'safest thing'

The white nationalist whose father penned a widely-shared, heartfelt letter ✉️ disowning him, said he doesn't hold a grudge against his family because it was the "safest thing they could do in this political climate."

Pete Tefft, who attended several white nationalist rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend, told CNN affiliate WDAY he's not a racist 🚫 and denounced the Nazi designation but didn't contest the fascist label.

"I think fascism is just loving your family and doing what's best for your nation," Tefft told the affiliate.
