ALEXANDRIA, Va. ― Richard Spencer, the 39-year-old white nationalist leader, said Monday that he did not take President Donald Trump’s statement denouncing hate groups seriously, and two of Spencer’s associates shared a somewhat similar sentiment with HuffPost.
“The statement today was more Kumbaya nonsense,” Spencer said, speaking to reporters in his office and part-time home in Alexandria, Virginia. “He sounded like a Sunday school teacher. I just don’t take him seriously ... it sounded so hollow and vapid.”
Trump’s statement Monday was technically his most direct denunciation of white supremacy in the wake of violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend that left three dead and at least 35 injured. But for a president who is quick to tweet against any perceived slight, the statement arrived noticeably late ― and only after he faced bipartisan criticism for vaguely condemning violence “on many sides.”
Spencer, who spoke at the Charlottesville rally, invited reporters to a news conference Monday to address the incident. He initially tried to host the press event at two hotels in Washington, D.C., but they both canceled his reservation, according to Spencer. (He said he used his real name.) Reporters were instead instructed to go to a street corner in Old Town Alexandria.
A man who worked with Spencer and who gave a pseudonym, Reinhard, beckoned reporters upstairs to a makeshift office. The liquor cabinet was stocked with Cutty Sark whiskey and Bombay Dry Gin, the bookcase stacked with The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life, the German philosophy book Nietzsche’s Teaching: An Interpretation of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, a blow-up doll of what appeared to be Pepe the Frog (a character co-opted by white nationalists) and a “Make America great again” hat. There was also a “We the People” diversity poster.....

FLASHBACK: Trump Condemns David Duke Calling Him a “Bigot”, a “Racist”, a “Problem” (VIDEO)
Ardbeg and Lagavulin are preferable, I think.
Excellent. If Richard Spencer is annoyed, then President Trump is right on track with his rhetoric...
BLM is a “hate group”
That’s the bilge water of scotch.
I detest these people for their racism, anti-Semitism, and for their vile hatred. I hate that they have attached themselves to the President, and if they REALLY like him, they should shut up. Their support hurts Trump. I wish they would crawl back under the rocks they slithered out of.
Never heard of Spencer until a couple of months ago. Who the hell is he? ???
Spencer said, “we were connected with Donald Trump on this kind of psychic level.”
Delusion is not just for Hillary voter.
This guy has had his 15 minutes, which is too much. He, David Duke, and their ilk should crawl back under their rocks.
He wasn’t annoyed, though, he was basically saying that Trump just said that for the cameras (wink wink) but really feels differently.
They seem to want to hurt him. Who’s paying them? I thought most of these cats were undercover Feds. Hmmmmmm.
Back to the Feds is my guess. I believe they are setting Trump up.
Trump IS NOT like this, IMHO.
“the 39-year-old white nationalist leader”
Who does he “lead”? A couple of hundred people?
I’ve said before that it would not surprise me in the least to learn that the SPLC has been paying David Duke to show up places in order to attract media attention, smear conservatives and to help their fund-raising.
Wasn’t this guy proven to be a supporter of the opposition?
His shtick feels like a setup and false flag.
The booze only idiots would Imbibe is a nice touch and the just so perfect staging of books for people too lazy to think.
Guile?
Beguile?
Con?
Confidence?
Man?
Confidence Man?
Spencer is a modern day Lincoln Rockwell. A nobody stooge with a couple hundred serious followers until given free PR by Democrats.
As if Trump gives a rip what this cretinous loser thinks about him.
Spencer is a dipstick.
Trump should Twitter this Spencer.
So Spencer is trying to falsely make it look as though Trump is a racist. Cui Bono? The deep state and political left. That’s all I need to know to support that this Spencer POS is an agent for the enemies of a free Republic.
