I think one of the most interesting things in that article was the claim that Trump was calling Nazis 'very fine people'.
The full transcript from CNN and I'll give you their quote on that:

TRUMP: Excuse me, they didn't put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down, of to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.
In Joe Rogan's interview with Dave Rubin a few days ago Dave mentioned that a lot of these columnists are only making 45K per year (not much to get by on - especially if they live alone and in a big city), the formal news media is shrinking and constantly losing profit to online traffic in other places, and so these authors are weighing their options - write an honest article that doesn't get much traffic, or write something inflamatory that's completely wrong but gets a lot of people, both loving it and hating it to share, re-Tweet, etc.
This also makes me worry that, if white supremacy is being thrown around as loosely as your suggesting these days, its right up their with fascist with respect to words that are having their definitive danger rinsed out by excessive use.
