Spencer took to Twitter to denounce the incident.
I was just physically assaulted twice by antifas. No serious damage. I can take a punch.

Spencer, president of the white nationalist National Policy Institute, made headlines in November at the institute's annual conference. He declared, "Hail Trump! Hail our people! Hail victory!" while those in the audience gave a Nazi salute.
