NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. ― White nationalist leader Richard Spencer was kicked out of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday.
A spokesman for CPAC said that the unabashedly racist “alt-right” leader was removed because organizers viewed him as “repugnant,” according to NBC News.
Security personnel approached Spencer after he spoke to reporters for approximately an hour in the halls of the National Gaylord Resort, which hosts the gathering of conservative activists and elected officials every year.
Officials asked for his credentials, and then escorted him outside the building, where he held another mini-press conference.
Shortly before Spencer was escorted away, the American Conservative Union’s Dan Schneider denounced him and members of his movement. In a speech titled “The Alt Right Ain’t Right At All,” Schneider said Spencer and his colleagues were part of a “sinister organization” that is trying to “worm its way” into the conservative movement.
“They are racists. They are sexists. They hate the Constitution. They hate everything we believe in. They are not an extension of conservatism,” Schneider said.
Schneider then made a puzzling argument: The alt-right and its band of Nazi sympathizers were actually a product of the left.
“They are nothing but garden variety left-wing fascists,” he said

It's a pretty telling sign of someone's mental capacity when they use the term "left-wing fascists". The very definition of "fascist" is far-right form of govt.
This is the problem with the right, they do nothing but stick labels on everyone and try to pretend anything bad is part of the groups they dislike. Anyone who disagrees with them is a liberal, Democrats are all socialist, left wing is now fascist.. It's just really fucking dumb. I'm honestly amazed that so many people are just so fucking stupid when there is a wealth of information out there for free..

Idiots try to claim fascists are left wing because the German Nazi Party was called "National Socialist German Workers' Party" So dumbs dumbs see "socialist" in the name and equate that to "liberal & Democrats". because they are too dumb to understand what the Nazi Party was and just see "bad" so must be Democrats!
The problem is the Nazi party was not liberal, they were extreme right wing and were created as a direct counter to the rise the communist party in Germany after WW1. The only so called "modern day" socialist ideal the Nazi party shared with current day liberals is they were "anti-big business & anti-capitalist. Everything else was straight up far right and extreme nationalism.
Yet dumb dumbs from the right don't understand reality and only hear the term socialist and think they are left wing.
People really need to educate themselves and read a bit of history..
