Conservative Group Fires Michelle Malkin Over Support for Holocaust Denier
‘No Room’

Malkin’s firing from Young America’s Foundation marks the latest battle
between supporters of Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and more establishment conservative figures.


A conservative group cut ties with right-wing columnist Michelle Malkin on Sunday over her support for an anti-Semitic internet personality, ramping
up a growing conservative civil war centered on college campuses.

Malkin’s firing from Young America’s Foundation, whose speakers bureau had booked Malkin for speeches across the country for the past 17 years, marks
the latest battle between supporters of Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and
more establishment conservative figures.

“Michelle Malkin in no longer part of YAF’s campus lecture program,” a YAF spokesman said in an email to The Daily Beast.

Malkin didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Since October, Fuentes’s fans have been showing up at conservative college speeches and heckling speakers booked by YAF and another, rival
conservative group, Turning Point USA.

The alt-right activists, who call themselves “groypers” in a nod to a meme about an obese toad similar to Pepe the Frog, typically ask the speakers questions about United States aid to Israel and immigration in an attempt
to push their racist and anti-Semitic beliefs into more mainstream conservatism. On Nov. 10, the activists booed Donald Trump Jr. at a
Turning Point event after organizers refused to hold a Q&A.

Right-wing figures like former Fox News host and Trump campaign adviser Kimberly Guilfoyle and podcaster Ben Shapiro have slammed the activists,
with Shapiro highlighting Fuentes’s history of bigoted remarks in a recent speech. Among other things, Fuentes marched in the 2017 “Unite the Right”
rally in Charlottesville, and praised what he called a “tidal wave of
white identity” after the rally. Fuentes has also used his internet video
show, America First, to deny the Holocaust, and claimed that segregation
was “better.”

Malkin has praised Fuentes and his fans, calling on establishment
conservatives to engage with them. In a speech last week, Malkin called
Fuentes “one of the New Right leaders.” In another, she praised Fuentes
fans and called their conservative critics “cringe.” She has also
frequently echoed their talking points calling for further restricting
legal immigration, claiming that continued immigration will doom the
Republican Party.

“We’re the majority in this room, and we’re the majority in this country,” Malkin said at a Thursday speech at UCLA organized by YAF.

Malkin’s praise for Fuentes appears to have been too much for YAF, which
sent a tweet distancing themselves from Malkin on Sunday without
mentioning her by name.

“There is no room in mainstream conservatism or at YAF for holocaust
deniers, white nationalists, street brawlers, or racists,” the tweet
reads.

Malkin shot back on Twitter, calling YAF the “Keepers of the Gate” and
calling Fuentes’s activists “patriotic.”

Malkin’s support is likely to draw more attention to the “groypers,” who
have notched at least one other win in their attacks on conservatives.
Last week, under pressure from Fuentes, Turning Point chief Charlie Kirk backtracked from a remark he had made calling for foreign students to
receive green cards if they graduate from a four-year college in the
United States.

But that capitulation apparently wasn’t enough for his critics—on
Thursday, Kirk was chased off the University of Houston campus by a group
of heckling Fuentes supporters.
