How did the darling of Conservatism Inc. get caught up with Nick Fuentes, America First, and the groypers?
When I first heard that Michelle Malkin was going to speak to a bunch of anti-Semitic, racist, and homophobic “groypers,” I thought (1) Oh, that’s where she’s been and (2) What happened to her? So I did some digging and what I found was even more disturbing than you might have guessed.
Those who have followed Malkin over the years know that she has always been—how to put this politely—an immigration restrictionist. Though maybe that’s too polite, since over the years she’s championed not only racial profiling, but roundups of minorities, too. In 2004, she wrote a book titled In Defense of Internment. One of the websites she founded, Hot Air, thrived touting her anti-immigration cause through the mid-2000s and she considers the defeat of the McCain-Kennedy 2006 “amnesty” bill one of her great accomplishments. During those years, Malkin was put on a pedestal by mainstream conservative organizations such as CPAC, Regnery Publishing, and the Young America’s Foundation as a leading voice for the movement. She had a Fox News contract and appeared on the network’s highest-rated shows.
And she now seems to have turned her back on all of that in order to link arms with the most vocal elements of the white nationalist movement. Oh, I’m sorry. They insist on being called “America Firsters.” Same difference.
