Richard Spencer is a white supremacist who advocates for “peaceful ethnic cleansing”. He welcomed Trump’s presidency with Nazi salutes. He once published this article.
Spencer, a neo-Nazi, was giving an interview to a news crew about his Pepe the Frog lapel pin (cool man), when a protestor ran from nowhere and punched him in the head. Pretty hard. Spencer was discussing a meme, little did he know he was about to become one. The footage of Spencer being thwacked has now been remixed endlessly. Here are some of the best.
SONIC RINGS
It even comes with the Game Over music.
BORN IN THE U.S.A
Soundtracked by Bruce Springsteen and his steely snare.
KANYE
Here's Spencer being punched while “Blood On The Leaves” from Kanye West’s plays.
BEASTIE BOYS
This one’s really good, timed beautifully, great choice of track.
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM THEME TUNE
Saving the best until last, it’s the punch soundtracked by the Curb Your Enthusiasm soundtrack, adding a comical element of surrealism to what is already a surreal moment. Why is a Nazi being interviewed on TV wearing a Pepe pin badge? It’s obvious what’s going to happen – he’s going to get punched.
