Have I defended BLM?
But let me get your logic straight...the Alt-Right is ok to you because you think BLM is worse?
While any type of racism, bigotry or otherwise is deplorable, the so xalled alt-right hasn't really done anything other than held an opinion. And from your own source, those opinions vary as well.

Because they dont wont focus on policy there will never be anything but hate & racism to erupt from it.

I have read about half the comments.
I think the alt right are just people who have woken up to what is going on. Who are against the establishment both left and right. Who have had too much shoved down their throats too fast and STILL believe in the constitution. Alt right is beginning to include more independents and some on the left. It is not something you can label and ascribe qualities to. It is an America that is fed up with the status quo.

That doesn't matter to most Democrats...If they ran a mystery candidate who wasn't known to anyone they would still vote for the candidate...

While Hillary herself would never stoop to beating a dead horse, she has her people do it for her.
Doctor Frankenstein had better luck resurrecting the dead than Hillary does trying to bring this story to life.
She can't argue policy and platform. She can't run on being honest. She can't run on ethics. She can't run on morals. She can't run on values.
It is...We used to be the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy...Now we are the 'alt' something or other...And there are 13.3 million of us so far...

It sounds like a made up boogeyman,to me.
Something she can pretend to be heroically battling.
(she seems a little old for larping,though)

Alt-Right is their own self designated umbrella label for an ideology that embraces white nationalism, white supremacy, Paleoconservatism, Neo-Facsism (or Dark Enlightenment if you prefer). The term was first coined by Paul Gottfried, a Paleoconservative and author of several far right philosophical books.
TL;DR Hillary, nor the MSM, nor the legions of SJWs lurking under all your beds created this label. Alt-Right created it for themselves.
