Funny shit.
Well at least someone is supporting Harris.
'Prominent white supremacist Richard Spencer endorses Kamala Harris'

'One of the United States’ foremost white supremacists is urging his followers to support Vice President Harris in the presidential election
next week.
Richard Spencer, an avowed racist, antisemite and admirer of Nazism who coined the term “alt-right” and was a featured speaker when he took part in the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Va., called Harris the
“best manager of the American empire.”
Spencer — who also gained international recognition after yelling “Hail Trump! Hail our people!” and being greeted with Nazi salutes during a
white nationalist event in November 2016 — also condemned former
President Trump’s strong support of Israel.

Harris wanted to “be all things to all people” on the issue of Israel, but ultimately he preferred where she landed, Spencer said in a nearly
12 minute video posted to X.
“At the DNC, she said that she 100% supports Israel. She’ll give Israel lethal aid. She also said that the suffering is tremendous, and she also
said that Palestinians deserve their own state, their own sovereignty,
that they need to have a government, a legitimate organization through
which they can live in peace, side by side with Israel . . . I have criticisms of that, but nevertheless, I find that better than Donald Trump.”
He also liked Harris because “for better or for worse, [she] goes with
the flow.”
“And in my mind, that flow is going towards centrism, towards rational government, towards a sort of democratic hegemony . . . This is
“something that I can responsibly support. So, I’m happily voting for Kamala Harris.”

Spencer thinks Harris would be more supportive of Ukraine.
Spencer said he planned to vote straight down the Democratic ticket in
his home state of Montana, name dropping Democratic Sen. John Tester and Democratic House candidate Monica Tranel as other candidates he would
back.
Spencer is far from the first white supremacist giving anti-Israel
Democrats a second look. Former Ku Klux Klan boss David Duke publicly
lauded squad Rep. Ilhan Omar as “the most important member of the US Congress!”

Spencer, who famously backed Trump in 2016, said the former president disappointed him.
“Trump has closed off discussion of important ideas,” Spencer said. “And
he has amplified idiocy.”
