Spencer is president and director of the National Policy Institute, which claims to be "dedicated to the heritage, identity and future of people of the European descent in the United States and around the world."

Similar white nationalist and anti-immigrant sentiments have been popping up around the world. The U.K.'s decision to leave the EU was partly influenced by a similar movement.
