More footage from Inauguration Day in Washington
Given the nature of the election campaign in America, it was always likely that there would be some kind of unrest on Inauguration Day last Friday.
On the streets of Washington, Richard Spencer, a white nationalist well known for his controversial views on issues such as white supremacy and same-sex marriage, was punched in the face while giving an interview for a documentary.

Spencer managed to stay on his feet after receiving the punch and later took to Twitter to denounce the attack, claiming that he was spat on shortly afterwards.

He also claimed he was punched on another occasion that day, but there was no videos or photos of the incident. Until now...
The below photos were captured on the same day as the other punch (the inauguration last Friday) but are clearly taken at different times as the signs behind Spencer are different.
