Montana: White Supremacist Richard Spencer May Run for U.S. Congress
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Montana, a white supremacist website has issued a call for online
attacks against the Jewish community in the town of Whitefish, where
white supremacist Richard Spencer's mother lives. The call listed the
phone numbers and email addresses of Jewish residents. Richard Spencer
says he's considering running for Montana Congressmember Ryan Zinke's
U.S. House seat, if Zinke is confirmed to head the Interior Department.
Trump picked Zinke for the Cabinet position last week. Meanwhile, Trump
has picked Stephen Miller, who has close ties to Richard Spencer, to be
a senior adviser in the White House.
