Washington Post<\/a>: <\/p>\n

An Alexandria gym terminated the membership of white nationalist Richard Spencer last week after he was confronted by a Georgetown University professor who recognized him and lambasted him over his alt-right views.<\/p>\n

C. Christine Fair, an associate professor at Georgetown University\u2019s School of Foreign Service, said she was working out at Old Town Sport&Health on Wednesday when she spotted Spencer, president of the white-nationalist National Policy Institute.<\/p>\n

Fellow gym patrons had told Fair how Spencer had been seen at the gym earlier that week, she said. When she recognized him as the man working out on the gym\u2019s second floor, she approached him. At first, she said, Spencer denied who he was.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you Richard Spencer?\u201d she asked him, describing the encounter in an online post. \u201cNo. I am not,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018Of course you are, so not only are you a Nazi \u2014 you are a cowardly Nazi,\u2019\u2009\u201d Fair said in an interview, invoking a common characterization of Spencer. \u201cI just want to say to you, I\u2019m sick of your crap \u2014 that this country belongs [to people like you]. .\u2009.\u2009. As a woman, I find your statements to be particularly odious; moreover, I find your presence in this gym to be unacceptable, your presence in this town to be unacceptable.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
