The Daily Stormer is an alt-right American website founded by Neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin. The website advocates for white supremacy, the genocide of Jewish individuals, and Holocaust denial. The Daily Stormer adheres to its audience through the usage of memes, a method used to attract younger audiences. Despite its encouragement of white nationalism, the website has faced criticism from similar platforms that propagate white supremacist and ant-Semitic rhetoric.
Andrew Anglin is known for encouraging his audience, whom he has deemed the "Troll Army", to bully and taunt political figures with whom he disagrees. A notable incident of this practice is when the website openly mocked the victim of the 2017 Charlottesville car attack, in which a car was driven into a crowd of anti-fascist protesters at a Unite the Right rally.
