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 supremacy and Anti-Semitism.
Its name is derived from Der Stürmer, a tabloid newspaper that pushed Nazi Party propaganda during Adolf Hitler's tenure as leader of Germany.
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 there was a vehicular attack against counter protesters at the Unite the Right rally.
Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof was reportedly a regular reader and commenter on the site.
The current webmaster is Andrew Auernheimer.
