Twitter BANS pro-Trump website Wesearchr after it offered a bounty for the name of a suspect who punched white nationalist Richard Spencer
The leader of an 'alt-right' group took a right-hook to the face from a hooded attacker live on TV
A PRO-TRUMP website has been pulled off Twitter after it began a campaign to find the man who punched a white nationalist leader as he celebrated the US president's victory.
Wesearchr was banned after setting up a bounty for the name of the hooded suspect who attacked Richard Spencer during a live TV interview, it claimed.
The website has raised £3,903 ($4,904) to unmask a man they have dubbed a "domestic terrorist".
It included a picture of a man that they allege is the suspect, above the statement: "Let's bust this wannabe black bloc boxer."
But fans of the website claim that the suspension is a ban of "free speech".
But several have called for Wesearchr's Twitter account to be banned over concerns for the safety of those featured on the site.
The crowdfunding site is full of pictures of anti-Trump protestors following Trump's inauguration on January 21.
It is also behind campaigns to "sue Twitter for discrimination, censorship and antitrust violations" and to "open up" the divorce records of Fox news presenter Megyn Kelly - known for feuding with Donald Trump.
The site previously claimed partial credit for bringing Bill Clinton sexual harassment claims to the presidential campaign last year.

A Twitter spokesperson said: "The prohibit targeted abuse and harassment, and we will take action on accounts violating those policies."
The hunt for Richard Spencer's attacker appears to have been the nail in its coffin.
The shocking video in which he was sucker-punched during the post inauguration scuffles last week has since gone viral.
Although he can be heard in the video insisting he’s not a racist or a neo-Nazi, Spencer recently made headlines when he finished a speech at an alt-right rally “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!”, to which some supporters responded with a Nazi salute.
