Alt-right leader stirs up Whitefish

In a lengthy article for The Stranger/Seattle, Eli Sanders spotlights the white nationalist at the center of controversy in the left-leaning town of Whitefish, Mont:

“The problem seemed to radiate outward from one man, Richard Spencer, a white nationalist who has admitted he takes ‘a sadistic pleasure’ in getting under the skin of liberals. In late December, Spencer’s name became adhered in national news reports to Whitefish, the small, left-leaning ski town I was driving toward, a place where I have family and where Spencer lives part-time. As the snow tires rumbled on the highway beneath us, a neo-Nazi ‘troll army’ was several days into attacking the Jewish people of Whitefish on Spencer’s behalf, based on a belief that some Whitefish Jews had recently tried to run Spencer and his mother out of town. Details about what actually happened between the town and the Spencers were in short supply, and, among the neo-Nazi troll brigades, anti-Semitism was in abundance.” More here.
