By Lois Beckett, 19.14 EDT. The far-right leader allegedly told his wife: The only language women understand is violence.
The wife of white nationalist Richard Spencer has accused him of emotional and physical abuse, including choking her, dragging her by her hair and attempting to punch her while she was pregnant, according to divorce filings in the Flathead county district court in Montana.
One of [Spencers] favorite statements to me is, The only language women understand is violence, Spencers wife Nina Koupriianova alleged in divorce filings. She claimed he called her genetically defective and a parasite, and that he verbally abused her in front of their young daughter.
Im famous and you are not! Im important and you are not! the white nationalist leader would sometimes tell her when he was angry, she claimed in the divorce filings.
The allegations in the divorce filings were first reported by Buzzfeed News after multiple attempts by Spencer to keep them under seal.

Spencer came to public attention during the Trump campaign as a well-dressed, media-savvy white nationalist eager to explain to media why the campaign was a political step forward for American neo-Nazis and members of the KKK.
He became noticed worldwide after shouting Hail Trump! Hail our people! and being greeted with Nazi salutes at a white nationalist affair in Nov. 2016 in Wash. D.C., just after Trump was elected president.
Spencer was a notable participant in the violent white supremacist Unite the Right rally in 2017 in Charlottesville, Va.
He and Koupriianova married in 2010, have two small children and have been living separately since July 2017.

He will never recognize that the problem is that he's a punk and a loser.
