We know that white supremacist endorsements carry a lot of weight, right? They always have in the past.
White nationalist Richard Spencer reiterated his support for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden Tuesday, days after a spokesman for the Biden campaign rejected Spencer's endorsement.
Replying to a tweet Tuesday morning, Spencer wrote that he recognized how "ineffective, useless, and traitorous the GOP is," reaffirming his decision to vote for Biden in the November election.
Spencer, one of they key figureheads of the alt-right movement, initially voiced his plan to vote for Biden Sunday, tweeting the following day that "Liberals are clearly more competent." The messaging appeared to be a stark change in thinking for Spencer, who voted for President Donald Trump in 2016.
Spencer reiterated his support of the former vice president while responding to a tweet from professor and author Michael Rectenwald, who wrote Monday that Spencer's decision could be explained through Spencer's "rightwing collectivism."
"Spencer is a collectivist, and he found that Trump is not. But Biden and the Democrats are collectivists," Rectenwald wrote.
