The announcement that Richard Spencer, one of the most prominent white nationalist leaders in America, was going to speak at Texas A&M set of a fierce debate in Aggieland.

The controversial figure recently gained national attention after shouting "Hail Trump, Hail our people, Hail victory," at a white nationalist conference in Washington D.C., a cry that was greeted with Nazi salutes from the audience.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that works to fight against hate groups, said that Spencer's "clean-cut appearance conceals a radical white separatist whose goal is the establishment of a white ethno-state in North America."
