By Lois Beckett, 19.14 EDT. The far-right leader allegedly told his wife: ‘The only language women understand is violence.’

The wife of white nationalist Richard Spencer has accused him of emotional and physical abuse, including choking her, dragging her by her hair and attempting to punch her while she was pregnant, according to divorce filings in the Flathead county district court in Montana.

“One of [Spencer’s] favorite statements to me is, ‘The only language women understand is violence,’” Spencer’s wife Nina Koupriianova alleged in divorce filings. She claimed he called her “genetically defective” and a “parasite”, and that he verbally abused her in front of their young daughter.

The allegations in the divorce filings were first reported by Buzzfeed News after multiple attempts by Spencer to keep them under seal. Spencer called his wife’s allegations of abuse “a wild mischaracterization of who I am”, and said he would not comment on her specific allegations. “I’m not going to be engaging with specifics,” he told the Guardian. - More...

Spencer came to public attention during the Trump campaign as a well-dressed, media-savvy white nationalist eager to explain to media why the campaign was a political step forward for American neo-Nazis and members of the KKK.

He became noticed worldwide after shouting “Hail Trump! Hail our people!” and being greeted with Nazi salutes at a white nationalist affair in Nov. 2016 in Wash. D.C., just after Trump was elected president.

Spencer was a notable participant in the violent white supremacist Unite the Right rally in 2017 in Charlottesville, Va.

He and Koupriianova married in 2010, have two small children and have been living separately since July 2017.

3. Isn't he mostly famous for being punched in the face?

“I’m famous and you are not!" seems a little weak considering.

29. First Place I Went

This should surprise nobody, including his wife. She didn't think things all the way through and found out the hard way that he's is a sociopath and that "love and marriage" don't mean a thing to him.

8. This actually is not surprising.

I am assuming he has a temperament of hatred and aggression.

May she find a safe place to be and away from him.

32. Oh - but much like Melanoma . . .

she has gone out of her way to support the monster she slept with. IF she publicly apologizes and repudiates the twisted bigotry and hatred she supported . . . . I might actually give a shit.

9. It is a verified fact

that any man who puts his hands around a woman's throat is capable of murder by strangulation.

Ladies, please, pay attention. Anyone who does this to you is someone you need to RUN from.

30. The Declined Card Is Part of The Problem

This loser expected things to be handed to him, and not having enough income to keep a credit card up to date over five freakin' bucks will be immediately be blamed on others.

He will never recognize that the problem is that he's a punk and a loser.
