Boy have things progressed with this guy since we began following him, and it was only within the course of a few months. One minute he was a little Nazi screaming into the void, the next minute he is one of the internet’s most popular meme, thanks to the punch heard around the world with varying background music and visuals on Jan 20, 2017:
And ever since this video, he has pretty much has been learning what it means to be a high-profile Nazi. So far the tally goes as follows:
* He had been kicked out of a Libertarian conference and the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in the space of a week. * The new Alexandria, VA headquarters for Altright, the group he and Jason Reza Jorjani are running gets regular protests because for some reason they felt the need to make the place publicly known. * His group, the White Supremacist National Policy Institute (NPI) has lost its tax-exempt status. * A video game where you can punch him in the face along with fellow boneheads Milo Yiannopoulos and Adolf Hitler is available. * Digging into his family’s finances yielded information that the Spencers own a Louisiana cotton farm and takes subsidies for the federal government he hates so much. * He has been dissed by the band Depeche Mode after he voiced his love for them, with frontman David Gahan calling him a “very educated cunt”. * He managed to even get the show tune “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”, which has been for decades a kind of anthem for neo-Nazis for tainted for them when after he invokes the song in a Twitter spat, the nephew of the song’s author tells him that his Jewish, gay uncle (along with another Jewish, gay man) wrote it for the musical Cabaret.
