Anyone live in NoVA? Well, in case you didn't know, Nazi Richard Spencer is our new neighbor

A Top White Supremacist’s New Neighbors Are Not Very Happy He’s Moved To Town
White nationalist Richard Spencer has rented space in Alexandria, Virginia. Some local residents are not pleased.

Residents of Alexandria – the northern Virginia city where white nationalist Richard Spencer set up shop this month – are complaining to the city about their new neighbor.

The city has received at least 25 complaints about Spencer’s new rental in Alexandria, just outside of Washington, DC, city spokesman Craig Fifer told BuzzFeed News. Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute, a white nationalist group, told The Atlantic the Alexandria space will serve as a hub for the alt-right movement.

Flyers have circulated in Alexandria, notifying local residents that Spencer is in town and instructing people who “take issue with this” to call the city manager’s office. Fifer told BuzzFeed News that it’s unusual for the city to receive complaints of this nature from residents. (BuzzFeed News reached out to the email address on the flyer but the recipient didn’t immediately grant an interview.)


Fortunately, I don't live in Alexandria (I do live in NoVA) but I certainly worry about all the folks who do--the Jewish community, the gay community, the African-American community.

I really need a new state or a new country depending on how things go for the LGBTQ community.
