Spencer has been described as "arguably the father" of the alt-right. He founded a web magazine called Alternative Right in 2010 and currently heads up the National Policy Institute, a think tank that is a pillar of "academic racism."

At a recent conference in Washington, D.C., he was videotaped extending a right hand and yelling, "Hail Trump!" And at a recent appearance at Texas A&M, attended by numerous protesters, he said, "At the end of the day, America belongs to white men."

Spencer's account was one of many -- including other accounts Spencer held like the Institute's (@npiamerica) and his online magazine (@radixjournal) -- that were suspended in mid-November by Twitter.
