What Michelle Malkin’s Disturbing Statements Could Mean for the Conservative Movement

 

At Stanford University last week the Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro laid waste to the alt-right. Shapiro is a popular speaker on college campuses, and almost always follows basically the same script about the Left and the idiocy of progressive ideology. But of late an alt-right brigade has coordinated a campaign to target Daily Wire staff giving speeches on college campuses across the country, and in response, Shapiro decided to spend a significant portion of his speech hitting at them directly. It’s one of the best speeches he’s ever given and is deserving of an hour of your time:

One of the alt-right figures targeting Shapiro is this guy, Nick Fuentes:

Which is what makes these statements by Michelle Malkin so deeply disturbing:

Shapiro’s issues with Fuentes don’t stop at Holocaust denial (though that would certainly be enough). Malkin wonders what Shapiro might have against Fuentes? Well, these videos could explain a few things.

This is Fuentes playing a video game, targeting an Orthodox Jew with his car, running him over after shooting him down, and laughing that he just took down Ben Shapiro:

Or here, where he flashes a switchblade while live streaming a Shapiro event:

Malkin is aware of all of these things; it’s no secret what Fuentes is.

What is disturbing about her comments is the fact that she is running cover for him anyway. There are many who have said she’s “lost it.” But Malkin isn’t stupid, and she isn’t crazy, and therein lies the problem. Malkin is smart and has made a calculated and conscious effort to make herself a thought leader in a faction of the conservative movement that she sees on the ascent. This is disturbing for any conservative who does not want to rub shoulders with racists and Jew-haters. Here’s hoping the conservative political marketplace signals to Malkin loud and clear that partnering with anyone on the alt-right, especially Fuentes, is bad for business.

    Also, after a tiny bit of research it is pretty clear that Fuentes is a POS.  Y’all need to quit tying yourselves into knots rationalizing this crap.

    In other news…..reading Michelle’s twitter feed makes me want to delete my twitter account.  WTH is wrong with people??

    Michelle is now working very closely with Nick Fuentes and the other alt-right.  They had their first conference this week in DC. So we had CPAC, the Alt Right, and Never Trumpers…..all with conferences this week.
