Richard Spencer, an outspoken white nationalist who has called for a “peaceful ethnic cleansing” in America, took to Twitter Friday evening to “accept” a nomination from the White House after President Trump announced his intent to nominate another Richard Spencer to be secretary of the Navy.
Spencer conveyed to his Twitter followers what his “plans” for the U.S Navy are.
Spencer shared an article about the president’s Navy secretary announcement with what appears to be a photo of himself Photoshopped over the president’s true pick and wrote that he “humbly accepts dominion over the U.S. Navy.”

Spencer then tweeted at Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to tell the senator if he is “really nice” to him, Spencer will “make him an admiral.”
Hey, @SenJohnMcCain, if you’re really nice to me, I’ll make you an admiral.

Spencer shared the White House news release and said the true nominee’s middle initial of “V” is actually his and stands for “Vitézi Rend,” a Nazi-allied group with an ideology of racial superiority.
There’s no truth to the rumor that the V. in my name stands for Vitézi Rend. #Gorka pic.twitter.com/iWSuIcrSgu

The white nationalist also promised to make the Navy the “last stand of implicit white identity.”
