Prominent white supremacist Richard Spencer supports Kamala Harris

One of the United States’ leading white supremacists is urging his supporters to support Vice President Harris in next week’s presidential election.

Richard Spencer, an avowed racist, anti-Semite and admirer of Nazism who coined the term “alt-right” and was a keynote speaker when he attended the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, called Harris the “best manager in America.” “. Rich.”

Harris wanted to be “all things to all people” on the Israel issue, but in the end he preferred to be where she ended up, Spencer said in a nearly 12-minute video posted on X.

“At the DNC she said she supports Israel 100%. It will provide lethal assistance to Israel. She also said that the suffering is enormous, and she also said that the Palestinians deserve their own state, their own sovereignty, that they need a government, a legitimate organization through which they can live in peace side by side with Israel. . . I have criticism of that, but I still think it’s better than Donald Trump.”

“If there is a regional conflict between Israel and Iran, it is much more likely that Trump will not only support Israel in it, but also participate in it and start bombing Iranian nuclear facilities,” Spencer added.

He also liked Harris because “for better or for worse, she goes with the flow.”

“And in my opinion this trend is towards centrism, towards rational government, towards some kind of democratic hegemony. . . This is “something I can responsibly support.” That’s why I’m happy to vote for Kamala Harris.”

Spencer thinks Harris would be more supportive of Ukraine.

Spencer said he plans to vote directly for Democrats in his home state of Montana and listed Democratic Sen. John Tester and Democratic House candidate Monica Tranel as other candidates he would support.

Spencer is far from the first white supremacist to give anti-Israel Democrats a second look. Former Ku Klux Klan boss David Duke publicly praised Cadre Rep. Ilhan Omar as “the most important member of the U.S. Congress!”

Spencer, who famously supported Trump in 2016, said the former president had disappointed him.

“Trump has stopped discussing important ideas,” Spencer said. “And he reinforced the idiocy.”

The Harris campaign did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
