What Whitefish got in response was a hailstorm of antisemitic harassment and threats from Spencer’s neo-Nazi allies that generated headlines across the world. Anglin had promised implausibly to bus skinheads in from the Bay Area to a tiny Montana town close to the Canadian border. That was what they had said, at least, in a chummy joint podcast released days before Anglin unleashed a troll storm against Spencer’s neighbors. But what really kicked the online harassment into gear, Randall said, was the post from Richard Spencer’s mother. As they stood around the soup stand, some residents wondered if the trolls would ever actually make their way to northern Montana town to protest in person.
