The alt-right is not truly right

Published August 18, 2017 6:36pm ET



The term “alt-right” was coined in 2010 by socialist and white supremacist Richard Spencer. It has never been an entity within the Republican Party or conservative movement. The term specifically refers to an “alternative” to the Right, alluding to Spencer’s fantasy of invading the conservative movement in order to change it into a radical Leftist movement.

Spencer’s plan to alter the conservative movement, however, has not worked. And why would it? He is a socialist who stands for everything the right is against. Anybody paying attention will notice that we freedom fighters do not respect Spencer, and he doesn’t respect us either, oftentimes referring to us as “cucks” and “the fake right.”
