Richard Spencer Texas A&M Live Stream: How To Watch Speech Online By 'Alt-Right' White Supremacist Leader

With protestors for both sides engulfing the campus, white nationalist and “alt-right” movement leader Richard Spencer has been scheduled to speak at Texas A&M University Tuesday night in College Station, Texas.

Spencer, who recently gained national attention both for his speech at the National Policy Institute’s national conference in Washington, D.C., last month and the Nazi salutes in the crowd that followed, is a journalist, writer and founder of ultra-conservative website AlternativeRight.com. His pending presence on the Texas campus has sparked protests both for and against his views. He was slated to speak at the school’s Memorial Student Center.

During his National Policy Institute speech, the one statement that fueled significant backlash against Spencer and elicited the salutes was: “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!”

For some, the calls and gestures were too reminiscent of the Nazi salute of “Heil Hitler.”

Spencer also made his views on which race should be dominant in the country.

“America was until this past generation a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity. It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us,” he said at the conference.

In response, Texas A&M students have organized protests against and for Spencer’s views.

Nick Meindi, an international affairs graduate student, told the student-run newspaper The Battalion Sunday that he began organizing a “silent” protest at the school’s Rudder Plaza after hearing Spencer would appear and plans to carry it out.

“We want to show all these groups are united together in this common goal and they are not alone and they are supported by the whole of the university from a wide range of people,” Meindle said. “We’re going to make it [the protest] silent because we believe Richard Spencer and his supporters are trying to intentionally get a negative response because he can use that to paint us all with the same brush and say we’re all horrible, violent people, which we’re not.”

But there will reportedly be a counter-protest from Spencer supporters on campus. A student “alt-right” group named European Aggies Alliance, which was started in the last month and has not gained recognition from the university, also intends to protest before and after Spencer speaks, The Battalion reported.

Spencer was not invited to speak by the university, but rather an alumni named Preston Wiginton on the grounds that the institution is a publicly funded school. Wiginton believes Spencer has points to make and considers widespread dismay at President-elect Donald Trump’s ascension to the White House as a direct result of the “alt-right,” he said in an interview on CNN Monday.

"I think (the US) was at one time (a white nation)," he said. "I think the reaction to Trump being elected, and the reaction with the alt-right being popular, is a reaction to it declining as a white nation."

The speech is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. CST (8 p.m. EST). A live stream of the event can be viewed below.
