In the course of the case proceeding, a number of Spencer's text messages were turned over to the court and appear in a filing. The picture that's painted in these texts is one where Richard Spencer is far more than just a speaker at the event. In one text, Spencer is requesting speaker bookings. Like he's saying, hey, what about this guy? He's getting in touch with Jason Kessler and being like, we should have this guy speak. In another, Kessler is consulting with Spencer about needing legal help for an insurance policy for the rally. These are not texts you'd expect between an organizer and a headlining speaker.
