The White Nationalist Richard Spencer is enjoying his 15 minutes of fame following the win of President-elect Donald Trump. He is considering running for Congress in Montana. He would replace Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke, if Zinke accepts the nomination for Secretary of the Interior.
Spencer is widely known for coining the term, “alt-right,” which has been used to describe extremist Trumpkins. They are a group of right-wing extremists (read: neo-Nazis, white supremacists and white nationalists) who “reject mainstream Conservatism.”
He said:
“If I did this, it would not be some eccentric campaign that no one talks about and is a footnote to history. It would become a major conversation around the country… just because of my profile in the alt-right. Again, I would only do it to win it.”
Spencer stressed that he is just thinking about it at the moment.
Donald Trump made a big deal about disavowing the alt-right group. he said:
“It’s not a group I want to energize, and if they are energized, I want to look into it and find out why.”
Spencer is also the head of the National Policy Institute, a nationalist think tank. From their about page:
“NPI is an independent organization dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world. It was founded in 2005 by William Regnery and Samuel T. Francis, in conjunction with Louis R. Andrews.”
Spencer was so bad, he even got his Twitter account suspended, along with many other members of the alt-right movement. He, of course, had a temper tantrum after getting his fee-fees hurt. He said:
“This is corporate Stalinism. I am alive physically but digitally speaking there has been execution squads across the alt right. There is a great purge going on and they are purging people based on their views.”
Let’s hope this idiot doesn’t win.
