Link to story here: Georgetown Professor Confronts Richard Spencer
I am not going to add much to this story — I think it speaks for itself. I just wanted to share it because this woman’s actions are a great example of someone who understands that sometimes being ‘nice’ has to take a back seat to speaking out. She’s now facing harassment from Nazi trolls, and still has no regrets.
Short version: A professor at Georgetown University decides to confront White Nationalist Richard Spencer at the gym they both belong to...or rather, ‘belonged’ to. Spencer’s membership was revoked :)
She says it best herself: "It is the responsibility of every single one of us to not tolerate this. I know it sounds dramatic but I believe in it," Fair says. "In 1932, some German people were probably saying between bites of wiener-schnitzel, 'this is some f*cked up shit,' and then didn't do anything."
Let’s hear it for feisty women (and all citizens!) who won’t silently stand by and let Nazi sympathizers believe they can slink around without being called out!
