Andrew Anglin, the founder of the far-right, white supremacist website, The Daily Stormer, said he was cutting staff because the site’s readers had failed to donate. This follows years of efforts by opponents to have the site removed because of its antisemitism and racism.

Publications like The Daily Stormer and figures like Anglin experienced a rapid growth in popularity that coincided with President Donald Trump’s successful candidacy.

What is happening to The Daily Stormer?

On Monday, February 3, 2020, Anglin announced, via a post on The Daily Stormer, that he had “given 30-day notices to most of the staff.” Anglin complained that, despite telling readers that the site was in debt, only 60 had donated any money to the site for a total of just US$5,000. He claimed the cost to run the site in January was US$10,000.

In the post, Anglin warned that two of the site’s contributors had already been fired as a result of cutbacks and that the “race war section,” which depicts news of crimes committed by people of color, may not last.
