Sartorially-championed white nationalist Richard Spencer just got punched in the face–this time, in the figurative sense.

The web provider GoDaddy has taken down the alt-right figurehead’s web domain, the appropriately named altright.com.

“It is our determination that altright.com crossed the line and encouraged and promoted violence in a direct and threatening manner,” a GoDaddy spokesperson told BuzzFeed.

    Far as I've paid attention, I've never heard Spencer do any "direct incitement to violence". Do stupid salutes, yeah. Act like a third-rate media whore, you bet. But incite violence? Seriously?? Betting this is more a case of GoDaddy management getting tired of constant harassment from the punch-a-Nazi crowd and getting rid of whichever target the point-and-shriek brigade were after this time.

    Never cheer the silencing of your opponent. You could be next.
