Women Shouldn't Have the Right to Vote, Says Alt-Right Leader Richard Spencer

White Nationalist Richard Spencer’s tiki torch rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia, and his distant dream of forming a white ethnostate steal headlines, but his views about women—that their role in politics be shrunk down to a barely visible place that would be unrecognizable to almost anyone in modern America—is seldom highlighted.

I spoke to Spencer this week, and in the context of a discussion about two documents that he admires, the American Naturalization Acts of 1790 and 1795, laws that once set out rules for the United States in limiting naturalization to only free white persons of good moral standing, I pointed out that the U.S. was a fundamentally different country at the turn of the 19th century. More specifically, I asked him if he wanted to return to a time in which women weren’t allowed to vote.

"I'm not terribly excited about voting in general," Spencer said. "I think that mass democracy is a bit of a joke to be honest."

I pressed him on the question again. “I don’t necessarily think that that’s a great thing,” Spencer said of women voting in U.S. elections.

Hey, maybe the Women’s March in Detroit can also select him as a speaker. Handmaiden tale here we come.

1. Well, there was the whole #repealthe19th twitter thing before the election

I wrote the vast majority of it off as trolls just trying to rile people up. I'm curious what would happen if this stance becomes something that a large portion of the Trump fans came to vocally support. Would the women in that group would go along with it? I would like to say they wouldn't, but given some of the crazy stuff I've seen Trump's base support, I'm thinking would still go for it.

2. Quelle surprise,

[Boomerproud]

3. Why does anyone give this moron a forum?

[tymorial]

27. Profit

That's why Facebook took the money and allowed all of the Russian propaganda to be posted. It's why the media engages in sensationalism while ignoring matters of import. More than 90% of all media in this country is owned by six corporations. The fourth estate abandoned their obligations to an honorable press in a long time ago.

[angrychair]

4. More than that even, he advocates a dictatorship

People that claim they love a country they want to change it ways that will make it completely unrecognizable from anything that makes America, America

"I'm not terribly excited about voting in general," Spencer said. "I think that mass democracy is a bit of a joke to be honest."

5. HOW ABOUT I VOTE TO REMOVE your

nuts , Spencer???

[Honeycombe8]

6. And I'll advance from...

the rear.

[Crowman2009]

7. Well he shouldn't have he right not to get punched in the face.

[Solly Mack]

8. White supremacists are a threat to democracy and should be treated as such under the law.

[They_Live]

23. That's what I was just thinking

too.

[onetexan]

9. this prick needs to be castrated to prevent his seed from spawning damaged progeny

[BlueMTexpat]

10. Anyone who believes anything this

POS has to say is a moron.

[oberliner]

11. He says these things specifically to get attention

I don't understand why Newsweek would normalize a person like this.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. You know how bad his extremism is when

he dubs GrimReaper Bannon as "alt-light".

[Achilleaze]

13. republican War on Women, alt-right style

Will whimpy man-fear never wane? They just totally live in a world of fear & gross overcompensation. Sad.

[TexasProgresive]

14. Slimy Spencer is composed of the same slime as Ann Coulter

“If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.”--Ann Coulter

[Loyd]

15. Why am I Not Surprised?

Yet another sexually-frustrated misogynist Republican.

[beachbum bob]

16. Control of who gets to vote has always been on the conservative agenda as they only

want "their kind" to have the right to vote, which also includes banning most women. Elections have consequences and we see it every day what happens when those smart enough to know better sit out elections or too lazy to vote and be involved.

We have only ourselves to blame for all of this

[Madam45for2923]

17. Post feminist world, eh?

[modrepub]

18. How much you want to bet

this guy has had fewer girl friends than Pope Francis (or maybe he's a closeted homosexual). His lack of prowess with the opposite sex (if I'm right) probably explains a lot of his issues. Kind of feel bad making this accusation.

[weissmam]

19. two things

this guy has no dick and is scared of women

[csziggy]

22. Aha! Your comment made me realize who Richard Spencer reminds me of!

[crazycatlady]

24. he has a dick

But it is what is known as a 'micropenis.'

AKA his manhood is tinier than Trump's.

[weissmam]

20. also

He doesn't have a real job

[PatSeg]

21. I'm beginning to have my doubts about "mass democracy" too

After last year's election, I'm not terribly excited about voting in general, given what we ended up with in the White House. Maybe we could try 100 years or so without white men voting!

[yardwork]

25. This is the same group that chants Russia is our friend.

[Irish_Dem]

26. He is just voicing the GOP/Russian belief system. nt

[milestogo]

28. White males shouldn't be allowed to run for office or speak in public.

[lindysalsagal]

29. Let these 17th century throwbacks live in a cave wo modern science until they grow the hell up.

[TomCADem]

31. There Are Women Who Would Support Spencer's View...

...after all, Trump got over 50 percent of the women's vote among certain demographics.

[lindysalsagal]

32. If they don't believe in women voting, then why are they voting???????

Stone them to death for voting!!!!!

[Beacool]

30. But.....but, I thought that Trump said there were "fine" people on both sides.

[Arazi]

33. Are you really comparing this shithead to the speakers at the Women's Convention?

WTF?!
