The term "alt-right" was originally coined by white supremacist Richard Spencer. From wikipedia:

Spencer and others have said that he created the term "alt-right", which he considers a movement about white identity and a vanguard for white interests. In the weeks following the 2016 U.S. presidential election, at a National Policy Institute conference, Spencer quoted from Nazi propaganda and denounced Jews. In response to his cry "Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!", a number of his supporters gave the Nazi salute and chanted in a similar fashion to the Sieg Heil chant used at the Nazis' Nuremberg rallies.

Gee, I wonder why the average person might possibly come to the conclusion that "alt-right" has racist and nationalist connotations when the very founder of the movement has explicitly stated it's about white supremacy. It's gonna take the combined investigative skills of Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, and the Scooby Gang to solve this case!
