White supremacist and Nazi-haircut lover Richard Spencer likes music just like anybody else. And his favorite band is Depeche Mode.
When questioned further about the answer, Spencer said he was just joking about Depeche Mode being the “official band” for his cowardly sad-sack group of friends.
Depeche Mode on the other hand, isn’t particularly into Richard Spencer.
Depeche Mode have responded to white nationalist and “alt-right” leader Richard Spencer’s remark that “Depeche Mode is the official band of the alt-right.” A representative for the band tells Pitchfork, “That is a ridiculous statement. Depeche Mode has no ties to Richard Spencer or the alt-right and does not support the alt-right movement.” Spencer made the comment earlier today outside the Conservative Political Action Conference, as New York Magazine political correspondent Olivia Nuzzi reported.
