Could anyone please present the evidence for this opinion? Not saying he is not, but it has not been presented in the trial. Maybe I missed it.
There is that photo of R giving the white power sign with some proud boys.

I don't make a lot of that, though. He is a confused kid, responding to praise from a right wing organization, not a member of that of any other WS organization, so far as I know.
The answer to your question may depend on how you define "White supremacist." Doesn't look like he had much sympathy for black lives matter; but it's not clear that he has committed himself to any movement explicitly working for that goal.
I hope we aren't going to add the confused kid defense to the affluenza defense so that people under 18 can get away with whatever they want.
