News from Brownbackistan: Kris Kobach Speaks Before 'White Nationalist' Publishing Group

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/kris-kobach-social-contract-press?utm_content=buffer947b4&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer



Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach spoke last week at a conference for a publishing house described as white nationalist by the Center for New Community and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

(snip)

The Social Contract Press is a "a Michigan-based publishing house that routinely puts out race-baiting articles penned by well known white nationalists," according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups. Its publisher is John Tanton, a prominent white nationalist and anti-immigration activist.

Kobach's office did not immediately respond to a request by TPM for comment on Tuesday. About an hour after reaching out to Kobach's office, TPM received a call from a man who identified himself as KC McAlpin, the executive director of the Social Contract Press' parent organization, US Inc. McAlpin immediately said calling TPM was a mistake and hung up after declining to say how he obtained a TPM reporter’s phone number.

They just don't bother hiding it anymore.
