Alt-right ringleader Richard Spencer sent a series of racially tinged tweets on Sunday night following the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl win over the Atlanta Falcons.

In his messages, he attributed the team’s success to its comparative whiteness and highlighted the friendship between quarterback Tom Brady and President Trump.
