The trial for a man being sued by a Whitefish woman who claims he used his neo-Nazi website to start an anti-Semitic “troll storm” against her has been set for more than a year away.

Following a meeting last week, federal Magistrate Judge Jeremiah Lynch of Missoula scheduled Andrew Anglin's trial to start Jan. 22, 2019.

In April, attorneys with the Southern Poverty Law Center — on behalf of Tanya Gersh — filed the federal lawsuit against Anglin, who runs the website The Daily Stormer. Last year on the site, Anglin called for his readers to harass Gersh and her family over her dealings with the mother of white nationalist Richard Spencer, who is a part-time Whitefish resident.

The trial date has the potential to shift, especially after a ruling on Anglin’s motion to dismiss the case entirely, which was filed in late November.

Earlier this month, both sides filed preliminary statements in the case.

Gersh’s suit reiterated her claims that Anglin’s repeated stories about her in The Daily Stormer, along with her contact information and requests that his readers harass her, led to more than 700 threatening messages, with spikes in the frequency each time Anglin put up a new story.
