White supremacist site offers to call off armed march in Whitefish
MISSOULA — The publisher of a white supremacist website is offering to call off a proposed armed march in Whitefish next month.
Andrew Anglin runs The Daily Stormer, a site that recently called for a “troll storm” against people who objected to the work of Richard Spencer, who heads the white supremacist National Policy Institute and who lives part of the year in the ski resort town. Spencer gained notoriety when, shortly after the election, he spoke at a white nationalist rally in Washington where some raised their arms in Nazi-style salutes when he said, “Hail, Trump.”
The Stormer claimed that members of Love Lives Here, an organization founded in 2009 in response to screenings of pro-Hitler films by a white separatist group, had harmed the Whitefish business of Spencer’s mother. Last week, it posted photos of members of the group with Stars of David with the word Jude – German for Jew – superimposed on their clothing. The post included their phone numbers, addresses, and social media information and urged Stormer followers to harass them.
Anglin followed that up with a post Thursday that added more names to the list, along with the names and contact information of other Whitefish businesses, the Whitefish Chamber of Commerce, and the Montana Human Rights Network, as well as Montana’s U.S. senators, Jon Tester and Steve Daines, and Gov. Steve Bullock. The three elected officials, along with Montana's congressman, Ryan Zinke, all have strongly denounced the beliefs espoused by The Daily Stormer and Spencer.
