Neo-Nazi site, Daily Stormer, appears to be on the verge of getting shut down, but it’s unclear if GoDaddy or hackers will be the primary reason for the hate-filled site’s removal from the internet.
Web-hosting company GoDaddy gave the Daily Stormer 24 hours to move its domain to another provider on Sunday after the site published a negative story about Heather Heyer — the woman who died during weekend violence in Charlottesville, Virginia when a white supremacist slammed his car into a group of counter protestors.
GoDaddy said it would no longer host Daily Stormer because it violated the company’s terms of service. Meanwhile, international hacking group “Anonymous” appeared to hack the site and threatened to shut it down — but Twitter accounts linked to the hacking group claim the whole thing is a stunt.
Daily Stormer is filled with hate-filled messages and anti-minority remarks. It claims to be getting sued by “Jewish terrorists” and features a variety of posts defending the violence in Charlottesville.
The top story on the site now features the headline, “End of Hate: Anonymous now in control of Daily Stormer,” and warns that founder Andrew Anglin has spewed hate on the site for “too long,” noting “we have all the details on the servers and will be releasing the data when we feel the time is right.”
The post also says that the site will be shut down “permanently” after leaving it up for 24 hours so the “world can witness the hate.”
“We have no confirmation that ‘Anonymous’ is involved yet. Looks more like a DS stunt. Wonder if they are having issues finding a new host,” “Anonymous” tweeted, confusing the Internet.
Perhaps the Stormer is using “Anonymous” as an excuse to shut down the site, without appearing to cave over problems finding a new hosting company.
“For too long the Daily Stormer and Andrew Anglin have spewed their putrid hate on this site,” the message on the site proclaims. “This evil cannot be allowed to stand. It took a united force of elite hackers from around the world to breach the systems and the firewall.”
“Anonymous” is a hacking collective that grew out of the internet forum 4Chan in the late 2000s and is responsible for multiple high-profile cyber attacks. It’s unclear if “Anonymous” or GoDaddy will ultimately be responsible for the demise of the neo-Nazi site, but it appears Daily Stormer won’t be around, in its current form, for much longer.
16 'Morning Joe' Trump Insults That Got Personal, From 'Schmuck' to 'Jackass' (Photos)
President Trump recently received a ton of criticism for sending out a pair of tweets about MSNBC's "Morning Joe" hosts “Psycho” Joe Scarborough and “low I.Q. Crazy” Mika Brzezinski.
“She was bleeding badly from a face-lift,” he wrote of an encounter with Brzezinski he claims he had in Florida weeks before his inauguration.

While nothing can justify the president mocking a woman's appearance, the "Morning Joe" duo have been attacking Trump for months.
Check out 16 recent times the MSNBC stars said something that Trump could have taken personally.

They compared him to Kim Jong-un
“This is unprecedented, to have a president who behaves this way,” Brzezinski said on June 23. “It does feel like a developing dictatorship."
Guest Donny Deutsch unloaded on Trump's appearance
Deutsch defended Brzezinski on June 30 following Donald Trump’s attacks on her, calling the president “physically disgusting to look at.”
Deutsch continued: “Enough is enough with this disgusting vulgar man and to talk about women that way, and the irony is you physically look like you do, beyond the stupidity of it. You are a pig."
Brzezinski said what Bill Clinton was to sex, Trump is to "decency"
"What Bill Clinton did to the issue of sex to an entire generation, I believe this president is doing on issues of decency, on issues of conspiracy theories, on issues of fake news," Brzezinski said in June 15. "I think it's that simple and we're desensitized if we even argue it."
"If the president seems delusional about his accomplishments, you can point no further than that room," Brzezinski said in June 14. "There are no real men in the inner circle of the White House... none at all."
After Trump staffers praised the president during a cabinet meeting, Scarborough said on June 13 it “was the most sick, shameful, pathetic, un-American, autocratic display.”
He continued: “I will tell you if I were ever in meeting and people did that to me, I would say shut up and I would fire you.”
Brzezinski called President Trump a “narcissist” and said it’s possible that he’s “mentally ill in a way” on June 8.
She continued: “I said it months ago… he’s not well. At the very least he’s not well and he’s so narcissistic that he does not believe the rules apply to him."
“Donald Trump, again, being a schmuck, thinking he can buy people’s integrity by inviting them over to the White House and wowing them,” Scarborough said on June 7 when discussing a dinner party at the White House. “That’s how he thinks. I know that first hand.”
Scarborough said Trump “is not a sane, rational human being”
“If any CEO, in a Fortune 500 company, was behaving this way, he or she would be removed immediately… they would take him out, he would have psychiatric evaluation and he would no longer be the CEO,” Scarborough said on June 6.
Scarborough blasted “President Bannon” on June 2 for the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Accord on climate change — using the trolling phrase seven times in half a minute.
“Time magazine was right: Steve Bannon is the president of the United States,” the MSNBC host said, before launching into a 30-second monologue referencing “President Bannon” repeatedly.
The morning show played audio of Press Secretary Sean Spicer telling reporters during an off-camera gaggle that Trump’s “covfefe” tweet wasn’t a typo and Americans shouldn’t be concerned.
Brzezinski set up her fiancé, “You said… it’s like a kid pooping their pants and then saying, ‘I meant to do that.”
“Well yes. It would be like somebody pooping their pants and then people looking at it and saying ‘oh that’s modern art don’t you understand,'” Scarborough said on June 1.
Scarborough called Trump a “bumbling dope” on May 11 because of the way a meeting with Russia’s Foreign Minister was handled.
“Looking at the front pages of the newspapers here… The Wall Street Journal also, you look, of course, at pictures. The shameful picture where the United States press corps was kept out but the Russians were allowed in,” Scarborough said while holding up the paper.
Scarborough slammed Trump on March 31, saying that Russians are lucky that POTUS is “stupid enough” to pick up their fake news.
“We’re obsessed on how the Russians have hacked, how the Russians have tried to impact this, how the Russians have tried to impact the White House,” Scarborough said. “We’re really just playing into their hands.”
