White nationalist Richard Spencer cheers Tom Brady as 'Aryan Avatar' after Patriots' Super Bowl win

White nationalist Richard Spencer cheers Tom Brady as 'Aryan Avatar' after Patriots' Super Bowl win
Richard Spencer celebrated the Patriots win as a victory for white pride.
BY Nicole Hensley NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Monday, February 6, 2017, 1:01 AM

New England was not alone in celebrating the Patriots' Super Bowl victory — they had the abhorred leader of far-right extremists cheering Tom Brady as an “Aryan Avatar.”

Richard Spencer, the author of the National Policy Institute known for promoting thinly-veiled white supremacy, applauded the 34-28 overtime win as a triumph for white pride in a bizarre post-Super Bowl tweet storm.

“For the white race, it's never over," Spencer wrote with a gif of Brady kissing his supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen.

"I'm proud of the NFL's Whitest team," he added, noting that he was born in Boston.

I don't think Brady would want the endorsement, his wife would throw him out.
