The well-decorated modern nazi's office: Pepe the Frog blow-up doll, Cutty Sark, and MAGA hat
White Nationalist Calls Trumps Denouncement Of Hate Groups Kumbaya Nonsense
I just dont take him seriously ... it sounded so hollow and vapid, Richard Spencer says.
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 dont take him seriously ... it sounded so hollow and vapid.
Trumps 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.
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 Nietzsches 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 propped on a windowsill.
The office appeared to be begging for respectability. At least five Spencer associates, all male, were hanging around the office, some dressed up. (A copy of Dressing the Man: The Art of Permanent Fashion sat on the coffee table.) They included Matt, who claimed to be doing an internship with Spencer but refused to give his last name because he was worried about getting fired from his other jobs. (Spencer said he pays Matt.)
