A key official in Donald Trump's campaign was fired from his job in Pennsylvania on November 1 after it was found he was a white nationalist.
According to a report by Politico's Amanda Moore,Luke Meyer went by a fake name on the internet to share his views.
The 24-year-old was the regional field director of Trump's campaign and went by the name Alberto Barbarossa on the internet.
His identity was revealed after Moore linked the online personality of Barbarossa with Meyer.
Moore wrote in her report, "Last week, I confirmed that Luke Meyer, the Trump campaign’s 24-year-old regional field director for Western Pennsylvania, goes by the online name Alberto Barbarossa. As Barbarossa, he co-hosts the Alexandria podcast with Richard Spencer, organiser of the 2017 white nationalist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. On his podcast and others, and in posts online, Barbarossa regularly shares white nationalist views.”

"After I presented Meyer with evidence that he was Barbarossa, he admitted the connection and said he has been hiding his online identity from his colleagues on Trump Force 47, the arm of the Trump campaign that runs volunteer organisers,” she added.

But Meyer's reaction after getting exposed was the opposite of the expected as he appeared unbothered by it.
“I am glad you pieced these little clues together like an antifa Nancy Drew. It made me realize how draining it has been having to conceal my true thoughts for as long as I have,” Meyer reportedly wrote in an email to Moore.
Meyer reportedly had hosted a podcast as Barbarossa in which he asked, "Why can’t we make New York, for example, white again? Why can’t we clear out and reclaim Miami?”
