Richard B. Spencer

Richard Bertrand Spencer (born May 11, 1978)[1] is an American white nationalist.[2] He is president of the National Policy Institute (NPI), a white supremacist think tank, as well as Washington Summit Publishers.

Richard Spencer (2016)

Spencer does not believe that he is a white supremacist and calls himself a white nationalist.[3][4][5] He has been called a pan-European.[6] Spencer coined the term "alt-right" with Paul Gottfried, which he thinks is a movement about "white identity".[7]

Spencer was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He was raised in Dallas, Texas and in Whitefish, Montana. Spencer studied at the University of Virginia and at the University of Chicago.

Like many white supremacists, he supported Donald Trump when he ran for president in 2016. However, by 2020 he felt it was a bad choice. He decided to support Joe Biden in the 2020 elections, but Biden's team said he didn't want his support.[8]
