Neo-Nazis have been waging war on a small Montana town. Now they might pay for it.

“Are y'all ready for an old fashioned troll storm?” neo-Nazi leader and blogger Andrew Anglin asked his website’s audience last year. “Because AYO — it’s that time, fam.”

With that, Anglin launched a harassment campaign that would keep Tanya Gersh and her family always in fear of her life, wondering for months if they should pack their bags in the night and run.

On Tuesday morning, the Southern Poverty Law Center filed a lawsuit against Anglin, publisher of the infamous neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer. 

The SPLC seeks to punish Anglin for his “terror campaign,” get justice for Gersh and set a precedent that could stem the tide of coordinated harassment campaigns online.

It all began with Richard Spencer, the white nationalist who was famously punched during Trump’s inauguration, to the applause of the world. 

Spencer’s mother, Sherry Spencer, who owns property in the small resort town of Whitefish, Montana, wrote a Medium post called “Does Love Really Live Here?” claiming that Gersh pressured her to sell the commercial real estate she owned in Whitefish due to her son’s politics.

Since then, Anglin and his online brigade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists have waged war on Jewish members of the Whitefish community. And Gersh is getting the worst of it.

The SPLC’s complaint alleges that Anglin posted 30 articles on the Daily Stormer about Gersh, including her personal phone number, email address, personal information of her friends and colleagues, and the social media profiles of her 12-year-old son. Read more (4/18/17 1 PM)

Make no mistake, third party voters helped elect Donald Trump

In almost every swing state where the race was close, both Gary Johnson and Jill Stein’s share of the vote would have been enough to sway the election to Hillary Clinton.

In Florida, nearly 204,000 people voted for Johnson, and more than 63,000 voted for Stein. Even if Clinton won just half of those 267,000 voters, that would have been enough for her to overtake Trump’s 132,000-vote win.

In Michigan, Johnson garnered more than 139,000 votes, while Stein got more than 41,000. Stein’s votes alone would’ve been enough for Clinton to overtake Trump in the Wolverine State. 

In Wisconsin, nearly 95,000 voters picked Johnson and 27,000 picked Stein. Clinton was losing the state by around 88,000 votes as of press time.

If Clinton had won even one of those states, Trump would not have had a path to victory. And saying Johnson only took away votes from Trump doesn’t seem to hold up.
