Neo-Nazis launch a money-raising drive for a “bounty” to track down the man who punched white supremacist Richard Spencer in Washington following Trump’s inauguration on Friday.
The push has raised a little over $5,000 so far.

The organizers of the money-raising drive post an image of the man they are looking for, and say they will hand over any information “to the appropriate law enforcement department.” The page also stresses that the initiative “is not a call for any vigilante justice, libel, or other illegal action.”
Spencer in November spoke at a white supremacist event in Washington, DC, celebrating Trump’s victory. At the event, Spencer said “Hail Trump!” and was greeted by Nazi salutes.
The attack sparked dozens of memes, many using video fighting games or popular music, as well as a debate on whether it is acceptable “to punch a Nazi.”

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
