"Cartoon frogs are a symbol of white supremacy" - A Good Boy

It and terms surrounding it - e.g. Kekistan, are definitely associated to an extent with some of the more extreme facets of the right-wing. There's nuance to these things and context matters; it's not a universal paint-it-all situation where anybody who uses X meme or term is a white nationalist. The point is that white nationalists do, in fact, use these symbols and items very frequently.

Do I think Twitch is a white nationalist platform because a few Pepe emotes exist? No. Do I think you're an alt-righter because you posted what is pretty clearly a /pol/ meme? Not really. Pepe is a fairly diverse meme that works in many contexts. But it was co-opted by white nationalists and a lot of people associate it with that. You can blame the media for that, in part, but it doesn't change the fact that it and many political memes like that are /pol/ originated, and /pol/ is a hotbed for the extreme right.
