Alt-right icon Richard Spencer sparks clashes at Auburn; 3 arrested


Richard Spencer"s Full Speech at Auburn University

AUBURN, Ala. Alt-right spokesman Richard Spencer brought his version of white supremacist thought to the Auburn University campus Tuesday, despite efforts by university officials to shut him down.

The speech almost did not happen, but a federal judge in Montgomery overruled the university hours before the scheduled appearance, a delighted spencer told his audience.

We won a victory that is going to have echoes around the world, Spencer said to loud applause, largely from the front of the hall where a group almost exclusively of white men sat.

When the event ended, around 9 p.m. central time, hundreds of students surrounded the alt-right activists leaving the hall, eventually chasing them off campus at a full sprint.
