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.

    If they went after the other hate groups like BLM and AntiFa then I *might* cut them some slack. They only go after random ones that it is currently popular to not like. They may be free to not carry him. He is *also* free to bitch a storm up about it. Not only is he free to do so, he will. People like this thrive on the idea they are persecuted. Strip away the racial hatred you end up with a fairly run of the mill socialist group. Asking for workers rights and seizing of companies to be run by the gov.
