Richard Bertrand Spencer (born May 11, 1978) is an American white supremacist.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] He is president of the National Policy Institute, a white nationalist think tank, and Washington Summit Publishers, an independent publishing firm. Spencer has stated that he rejects the description of white supremacist, and describes himself as an identitarian.[12][13] He advocates for a white homeland for a "dispossessed white race" and calls for "peaceful ethnic cleansing" to halt the "deconstruction" of European culture.[14]Right of what? You didn't say.Oh yes, White Supremacists are Right Wing.
Spencer and others have said that he created the term "alt-right",[15] a term he considers a movement about white identity.[16][17][18]
Spencer has repeatedly quoted from Nazi propaganda and denounced Jews,[18][19] and has on several occasions refused to denounce Adolf Hitler.[20]
Spencer and his organization drew considerable media attention in the weeks following the 2016 presidential election, where, at a National Policy Institute conference, 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. Spencer has defended their conduct, stating that the Nazi salute was given in a spirit of "irony and exuberance".[21]
