"I wasn’t expecting to have a borderline-introspective conversation with white supremacist leader Richard Spencer on Tuesday night. But a Jezebel reader spotted him on the dating app Bumble in the Dallas, Texas, area and sent me a few screenshots of his profile. So I found the guy’s number and reached out for comment: Is this really you? Are you really politically “moderate” and “vaccinated?” I needed to know.
I checked all the vitals: Photos, yes. Age, yes. Height, yes. Astrological sign, yes. Kids, yes. This really appears to be Richard Spencer, the guy who shouted “Hail, Trump!” in 2016, led the 2017 neo-Nazi march through Charlottesville in which white men chanted “Jews will not replace us,” and became the most prominent figure in the American white nationalist movement.
Upon viewing this profile, I thought, maybe this is a catfish? So I obtained Spencer’s phone number from a fellow reporter and asked him myself if this was indeed his Bumble profile. “Yes, that is I,” he responded.
“I’d appreciate your respecting my privacy. This is obviously not newsworthy. I’m simply living my life,” he texted me."
