A shocking report last week claimed a White House intern flashed a “White Power sign” while posing for a group photo with President Trump. The Daily Mail broke the story in breathless terms, and the headline traveled far and wide.

Check out some of the other headlines on the pressing issue:

AOL.com: Report: White House intern appears to flash ‘white power’ hand gesture in photo with Trump

Newsweek: Did a White House Intern Use a White Power Symbol in Trump Photo …

The Hill: White House intern appeared to use white power sign in photo with Trump: report

According to scholarly research, the historic “OK” hand sign has been adopted by the alt-right as a sign meaning white power. Please observe this useful guide:

With this useful knowledge, The Daily Caller researched some notable political leaders and activists of the day to find out how prevalent these secret messages were. Our discoveries were shocking. We originally found the use of the hateful symbol prominently in the Milo/Trump circles (no surprise there).

But digging deeper, we discovered a stunning truth: Many liberal heroes in America are subtly endorsing a white power message. Don’t believe us? Look at the indisputable evidence below:

Bill Clinton: Wow, how could you?

The most liberal mayor in America, Bill De Blasio: Horrific

Distressing.

Interestingly, the media outrage prompted Breuer to respond to the controversy last Friday. In a statement made to The Daily Caller, Bauer said the sign was meant to be the classic “OK” hand sign, stated he was proud of his Jewish heritage and rejects white power groups.

“In some of our intern pictures, I emulated the OK sign the President sometimes makes. That was foolish. I should have listened more closely to the Commander-in-Chief and given the thumbs up.I’m proud of my Jewish heritage and strongly reject the hateful views associated with racist white power organizations. I would never make common cause with them,” Breuer told White House correspondent Saagar Enjeti.

We’re glad Breuer cleared that up. Now for Hillary, Bill, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer and De Blasio to answer for what they’ve done.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
