Virginia Gym Cancels Richard Spencer's Membership After Woman Confronts Him for Being a Neo-Nazi
PoliticsRichard Spencer, a suit-wearing human pustule, will have to find a new place to crank out reps after his Virginia gym cancelled his membership on account of him being a Nazi.
Spencer’s membership was revoked following an incident with Georgetown professor C. Christine Fair, who recognized him while she was going about her own workout at Alexandria’s Old Town Sport&Health last Wednesday. In a post on Tumblr, she wrote that she fully anticipated that she would get kicked out after confronting him, which she didn’t hesitate to do:
First, I want to note that this man is a supreme coward. When I approached this flaccid, sorry excuse of a man and asked ‘Are you Richard Spencer,“ this pendulous poltroon said “No. I am not.” But of course he was.
Second, I exploited the full range of my first amendment entitlements by telling him that this country does not belong to white men. As a white woman, I find his membership at this gym to be unacceptable. I found his membership at this gym to be an unfair burden upon the women and people of color–and white male allies of the same. I also loudly identified him as a neo-Nazi who has said, inter alia, the below detailed things.
Geez, even Richard Spencer doesn’t want to cop to being Richard Spencer. Which makes sense: Imagine being such a gurgling puddle of excrement that even CPAC doesn’t want shit to do with you.
Unable to defend himself alone, Spencer responded by calling upon (a black female) trainer to rescue him from Fair, who he accused, according to Buzzfeed News, of “screeching” at him.
“I’m really a model-gym goer. I don’t bother anyone. I don’t talk to anyone. I really just go and lift weights,” Spencer said.
Spencer said he was at the gym “peacefully working out” when Fair came up to him and asked him if he was Richard Spencer. “I said no, because I wanted her to go away,” he said. “I didn’t want to get into a confrontation.”
Fair said that she was shouted at by a white woman during the encounter, who accused her of making a scene and threatened to call the police. In the end she was spared the trouble—the gym’s general manager asked Fair to leave around 10 minutes later, while Spencer continued his workout.
That, however, would be the last time Spencer will step foot in Old Town. He helpfully provided Buzzfeed with his termination notice, a curt, two sentence message that said only that his membership was no more and that his credit card would be reimbursed.
So what’s he been doing now that he can’t blow off steam on the treadmill? Oh, just retweeting hateful dreck from the internet:
