Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed it had “made the appropriate request… to place Spencer on the list,” according to a report in BuzzFeed News. A spokesperson for the Ministry of…
There were many white nationalist chants heard at the torch-lit Unite the Right rally in Virginia this summer.
