Does Louise Mensch support White Nationalist?

Louise is upfront about her past support for conservatives, but are the allegations of her support for Toby Young true?

I couldn't find the Louise's Tweet in support of Toby, did she delete it, or is this a fake screenshot?



Jan 7th 2018 Louise Mensch straight up endorsing White Supremacist Toby Young who attended a secret conference for Neo-Nazi's and Pedophiles! #TeamPatriot are a bunch repugnant apologists. Louise Mensch is a Radical RW bigot.


Louise Mensch endorsing the White Supremacist Toby Young who was the Keynote Speaker at a secret conference for Neo Nazis and Pedophile apologists. Like Trump Louise Mensch has a long history of supporting ethnonationalists and their ideology.


Toby Young’s involvement in the Neo-Nazi conference revealed by the London Student newspaper. (Content note: article contains references to racism, anti-Semitism & child abuse.) Mensch is not #Resistance. #TeamPatriot no better than GOP apologists.http://londonstudent.coop/news/2018/01/10/exposed-london-eugenics-conferences-neo-nazi-links/


Louise Mensch also expressed that she likes White Supremacist "a great deal." This is from 6 days ago. This is who Louise Mensch. She likes those bigots! #TeamPatriot endorses a White Nationalist.


People jumping all over Trump for his racism but are a Louise Mensch apologist should take a long hard look at themselves. They are no better than the enablers and hypocrites in the White House. Louise Mensch has a long history of endorsing racists. Here is her RT of David Duke

I kinda understand how Democrats can dismiss her conservative past, but I can't wrap my mind around following someone that currently endorses Neo-Nazis. If I'm wrong about her endorsement of a white nationalist, I'll delete my OP.

I'm baffled and perplexed by anyone of a generally leftish political persuasion taking her seriously; I just put it down to "Americans don't know any better".

Understand that this fight isn't just about stopping Trump, it's about stopping the threat of white nationalism, which Trump represents.

Would you give them any slack if they endorsed a Neo-Nazi, and continued to endorse far right conservatives?

Mensch might not have realized the details of his past. If you can show me otherwise, I'd be interested in reading that.

In our country, Robert Byrd is someone who successfully overcame his KKK views. It can happen.

To me it's a side issue. What matters to me is her support of country over party, and her support of the USA over Vladimir Putin's dark minions.

Now, maybe I have less sensitivity to ideological purity, cause I'm Canadian. But I think that the USA can ill afford to reject people who are on their side at the moment - especially those with a strong public voice.. She is solidly on the side of the USA, and she has proven to be right on issues related to that, at least to my satisfaction.

the fact that she is relentlessly attacked by those dark minions I mentioned above is all the proof I need of where her loyalties lie.
