Richard Spencer rethinking college tour after shitshow visit to Michigan State University
White supremacist Richard Spencer says he plans to rethink his public speaking strategy in light of the violent clashes that marred his visit to Michigan State University last week.
In a video uploaded to AltRight.com's YouTube account on Sunday, Spencer says he expects future public events to involve a greater element of secrecy in order to avoid drawing attention from anti-fascists, who kept people from entering his talk last Monday.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to host an event that’s wide open to the public in which we name the date and the time,” Spencer says. “If we do that in advance, Antifa are going to do their thing and if the campus police or state police or local police aren’t ultimately willing to free up a corridor [to help people get in] then I don’t simply want to repeat Michigan.”
Spencer’s MSU visit was his worst college campus talk to date. Hundreds of protesters were gathered outside the school's Pavilion for Agriculture and Livestock Education when the first wave of Spencer supporters showed up, and fighting broke out almost immediately. The mass functioned as a sort of blockade, shouting “Nazis go home” and in the end only about four dozen people, many of them journalists, managed to make it in to hear the talk. Coordinators of the speech said they’d initially expected more than 300 people to attend.
