Richard Spencer is quite a piece of work. He has been known for his advocacy for white supremacy. I mean, for all the hot air the Democrats have blown about white supremacists hiding behind every tree, there were bound to be one or two actual white supremacists around, right? He claims to have moderated his views, enough to vote for Joe Biden (who is, we admit, a person of pallor) in 2020.
Now he’s throwing his weight behind Kamala Harris. Yes, really.
One of the United States’ foremost white supremacists is urging his followers to support Vice President Harris in the presidential election next week.
Richard Spencer, an avowed racist, antisemite and admirer of Nazism and was a featured speaker when he took part in the 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Va., called Harris the “best manager of the American empire.”
Spencer also condemned former President Trump’s strong support of Israel.
In a series of tweets, Spencer further explained his reasoning for backing Biden.
“The MAGA/Alt-Right moment is over. And it needs to end,” Spencer wrote. “So be patient. We’ll have another day in the sun. We need to recover and return in a new form.”
He sounds like he’d be right at home in today’s Democratic Party.
Spencer’s not alone; the other confirmed, actual, living breathing white supremacist around today, David Duke, has previously praised Democrats.
Spencer said he planned to vote straight down the Democratic ticket in his home state of Montana, name dropping Democratic Sen. John Tester and Democratic House candidate Monica Tranel as other candidates he would back.
Spencer is far from the first white supremacist giving anti-Israel Democrats a second look. Former Ku Klux Klan boss David Duke publicly lauded squad Rep. Ilhan Omar as “the most important member of the US Congress!”
Wow. Just… wow.
