“There is no room for hate in a place where you’re looking for love,” OkCupid wrote on its Twitter account explaining why they banned white supremacist Chris Cantwell. A Vice documentary about the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, featured Cantwell who advocated for the alt-right's use of violence in order to create a white "ethno-state." Cantwell also explained his views on race and how they affect his beliefs on who people should date or marry.
“I’m here to spread ideas, talk, in the hopes that somebody more capable will come along … somebody like Donald Trump who does not give his daughter to a Jew,” Cantwell says. He says his ideal leader would be someone “a lot more racist than Donald Trump," adding, "I don’t think you could feel about race that I do and watch that Kushner bastard walk around with that beautiful girl.”
OkCupid says Cantwell was banned for life just 10 minutes after they were alerted about his profile. He has also been banned from Facebook and a video went viral of Cantwell crying about his possible Charlottesville arrest warrant.
CEO Elie Seidman gave a statement to Gizmodo saying, “OkCupid has zero tolerance for racism. We make a lot of decision every day that are tough. Banning Christopher Cantwell was not one of them.”
