White Nationalist Richard Spencer Booted Out Of CPAC

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. ― White nationalist leader Richard Spencer was kicked out of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday.

A spokesman for CPAC said that the unabashedly racist “alt-right” leader was removed because organizers viewed him as “repugnant,” according to NBC News.

Security personnel approached Spencer after he spoke to reporters for approximately an hour in the halls of the National Gaylord Resort, which hosts the gathering of conservative activists and elected officials every year.

Officials asked for his credentials, and then escorted him outside the building, where he held another mini-press conference.

Shortly before Spencer was escorted away, the American Conservative Union’s Dan Schneider denounced him and members of his movement. In a speech titled “The Alt Right Ain’t Right At All,” Schneider said Spencer and his colleagues were part of a “sinister organization” that is trying to “worm its way” into the conservative movement.

“They are racists. They are sexists. They hate the Constitution. They hate everything we believe in. They are not an extension of conservatism,” Schneider said.

Schneider then made a puzzling argument: The alt-right and its band of Nazi sympathizers were actually a product of the left.

“They are nothing but garden variety left-wing fascists,” he said.
