Richard Bertrand Spencer (born 1978) is an American
neo-Nazi,
[1][2] antisemitic conspiracy theorist and
white supremacist who is known for his activism on behalf of the
alt-right movement in 2016 and 2017.
[1][3] Spencer calls for the reconstitution of the
European Union into a white racial empire, which he believes will replace the diverse European ethnic identities with one homogeneous "
white identity".
[4][5][6] The majority of European nations have banned Spencer and denounced his call for white racial empire.
[7] Poland in particular has repeatedly sought to ban Spencer from Europe, citing Spencer's Nazi rhetoric and the Nazis'
genocide of Slavic people during
World War II.
[8]
Spencer is known for his public advocacy of violence against nonwhites. He has advocated for the enslavement of Haitians by whites, the
ethnic cleansing of racial minorities from the United States, and the ethnic cleansing of Turks from Anatolia.
[9] On the subject of neo-Nazism, Spencer has expressed admiration for the political tactics of
American Nazi Party founder
George Lincoln Rockwell.
[10][11] He was a featured speaker at the August 2017
Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, among other neo-Nazi rallies that Spencer has headlined.
[12]
Spencer's public persona was defined by his repeated, public use of Nazi rhetoric. In early 2016, Spencer was filmed giving the
Nazi salute in a karaoke bar, and leaked footage also depicts Spencer giving the
Sieg Heil salute to his supporters during the August 2017 Charlottesville rally.
[13] After Donald Trump was elected president, Spencer urged his supporters to "party like it's 1933," the year Hitler came to power in Germany.
[14] In the weeks following, Spencer quoted
Nazi propaganda and denounced
Jews.
[15] At a conference Spencer held celebrating the election, Spencer cried:
"Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!"; subsequently
Mike Enoch led a number of Spencer's supporters in performing a Nazi salute and a chant similar to the
Sieg Heil chant.
[16][17] In early-to-mid 2017, when Spencer's following was at its height, his supporters would reportedly give him the
Sieg Heil salute when he entered a room.
[18]
Spencer has been involved in several legal issues. After the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, during which an alt-right supporter
drove his car into a group of counter-protesters, killing one and injuring at least 19 others,
[19][20][21] Spencer was sued for allegedly acting as a "gang boss" and inciting the killing.
[22][23] Three supporters of Spencer were charged with attempted homicide following his October 2017 speech at the
University of Florida.

Yea, sure sounds like a leftist, huh?
