5:31Now Playing"Alt-Right" leader Richard Spencer argued that women secretly "want to be taken by a strong man" in defense of president-Elect Donald Trump's infamous "Access Hollywood" tape, in which he brags about committing sexual assault.
Spencer, and a panel of other white nationalists, were responding to questions from reporters. Kristen Saloomey of Al Jazeera asked about Spencer's defense of President-elect Donald Trump's having bragged about sexually assaulting women. This followed an exchange between Spencer and Adam Gabbat of The Guardian about the overwhelming white male majority at the conference, which Gabbat estimated at 95%, but may have been greater than that.
The press conference took place at a Washington DC conference held by the white nationalist organization National Policy Institute, of which Spencer is President. Video documentation by Eric Byler ().
