Earlier, Spencer railed against Jews and made several Nazi references during his speech, using the slur “Lügenpresse” -- a word originally employed by the Nazis -- to attack the mainstream media.
“America was until this past generation a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity,” Spencer said. “It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us.”
Many on Twitter said they were disturbed by the numerous Nazi references in the video:
