GoDaddy gives neo-Nazis the boot, as we all should
Violence erupted this weekend, as it is wont to do when neo-Nazis take to the streets with torches and firearms. Charlottesville, Virginia was the site of the first of several planned white supremacist rallies, where bigots goose-stepped in protest of the proposed removal of a Robert E. Lee monument and renaming of a park that commemorated the Confederate general. Counter-protestors at the scene were attacked by these hate-spewing, flag-carrying degenerates, including one white supremacist who allegedly crossed state lines to plow his car into them. The attack injured dozens of people, and killed activist Heather Heyer.
In the void created by a president who couldn’t bring himself to outright condemn these actions—Trump is already campaigning for 2020, and he’d hate to lose his base—the neo-Nazi site The Daily Stormer posted this awful “story” about the murder victim.
In response, The Root reports that GoDaddy, a web-hosting company best known for its questionable Super Bowl ads, managed to do what the commander-in-chief couldn’t (or wouldn’t)—issue a swift-ish reprisal by announcing it would end its hosting agreement with Daily Stormer.
