Hard right

A man in a swastika T-shirt takes a punch to the jaw as protesters clashed before a speech by Richard Spencer, the white nationalist who popularised the term alt-right, at the University of Florida campus in Gainesville. Protesters shouting “Go home Nazis” vastly outnumbered Spencer’s supporters, forcing him to abandon his speech as he was drowned out by jeers. The event, which prompted the governor to declare a state of emergency, came two months after far-right rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia, led to a deadly clash with counter-protesters.
