Richard Bertrand Spencer(Redirected from Richard Spencer)
Richard Spencer officially Riden' with Biden. Spencer organized the 2015 Charlottesville March.[1] Richard Bertrand Spencer (born May 11, 1978) is an American leftist operative, atheist, CNN consultant, community organizer for left-wing causes, and white supremacist. Spencer is an infamous agent provocateur, who falsely claims to have invented the term "Alt-Right."[2][3] Spencer is an enthusiastic supporter of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and called on supporters to vote straight Democrat.[4] Spencer is known mainly for his role in organizing the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Spencer appeared and spoke at the rally, and was recorded after the event using racial epithets in a maniacal, hateful rant, saying: "Little f---ing kikes. They get ruled by people like me. Little f---ing octaroons. My ancestors f---ing enslaved those little pieces of f---ing s--t."[5] Various Neo-Nazis, KKK members, and other violent white supremacists were present (as well as normal, peaceful attendees not affiliated with these groups), to protest the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue, resulting in much violence and culminating in self-identified white supremacist James Alex Fields Jr. intentionally ramming his car into a crowd of people, killing Heather Heyer and injuring 35 other people. Spencer has supported numerous Leftist Democrats, including John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election and Andrew Yang in the 2020 Democrat primaries.[6][7] Spencer denies being a Neo-Nazi or member of the KKK[8] and advocates for the creation of a white ethnostate, which he calls a safe space for white people. [9] Former Alt-Right advocate Vox Day had rejected the notion that Spencer was Alt-Right, and provided evidence to Spencer being a leftist.[10] ViewsRichard Spencer believes that "Race is real", and that "Race matters".[11] Spencer is a strong atheist, though he says he does not believe that the separation of Church and State is entirely possible.[12] Spencer does not believe that he is a white supremacist.[13] Spencer believes that black people are less smart than white people based on comparative IQ studies.[14] Spencer's wife, Nina Kouprianova, has gained prominence through her English-language translations of the works of Aleksandr Dugin.[15] Although the Alt-Right universally considers the United States to be on the wrong side of the ongoing second Cold War with Russia, Spencer stands out by having implied that the United States was also on the wrong side in the first Cold War. In a 2015 interview, Spencer explained his pro-Soviet sympathies.[16] Spencer is an advocate of abortion. He believes abortion would reduce the number of black and Hispanic people, which he says would be a "great boon" to white people.[17] Spencer supports the nationalization of all healthcare, for a universal single-payer government-run system.[18] In a January 8, 2020 appearance on ABC talk show The View, Spencer once again showed his true leftist colors, as he bashed President Donald Trump, while the show's hosts and its leftist female studio audience, in their Trump Derangement Syndrome, rooted him on.[19] During his appearance, Spencer claimed to have voted for Trump in 2016 (although, in all likelihood, this may have been only a ruse concocted in collusion with the Democrats in an attempt to discredit Trump by falsely associating him with racism, white supremacism and anti-Semitism - all of which Trump and the Republican Party despise and are opposed to - and also falsely accusing him of being what the Democrats themselves have been for as long as the party has existed), which later drew heavy criticism on social media against him, the View hosts, and its audience, for their hypocrisy and Trump-hatred.
