The Democratic Party hosted its virtual convention last week, an underwhelming event that sought to portray the party as a "big tent" movement that would welcome former Trump supporters. That tent just got a little bit bigger.
Richard Spencer, a prominent racist and Duke University alumnus, declared his support for Joe Biden's presidential campaign and announced his intention to vote a "straight Democratic ticket" in the 2020 election.
"I plan to vote for Joe Biden and a straight democratic ticket," the racist wrote on Twitter over the weekend. "It's not based on 'accelerationism' or anything like that; the liberals are clearly more competent people."
Spencer, who has appeared on CNN to discuss President Donald Trump's "racist tweets," also created his own Joe Biden campaign avatar and posted a photo of it on social media.

Biden, who has refused to apologize for praising segregationist colleagues in the Senate, was accused of supporting racist policies by his own running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.), during the Democratic primary.
The mainstream media reacted to Spencer's announcement with predictable (and deafening) silence.
