Publisher of white nationalist platform attends Trump adviser Kudlow's birthday party

Source: USA Today

Just after the White House dismissed a speechwriter amid reports he spoke at a white nationalist conference, President Donald Trump's economic adviser confirmed to The Washington Post that the publisher of a website that features white nationalist content attended his birthday party.

Peter Brimelow, the 70-year-old publisher of the anti-immigration website Vdare.com, joined Larry Kudlow at his Connecticut home for a party celebrating the former CNBC host's 71st birthday, the Post reported.

The White House confirmed Monday that speechwriter Darren Beattie was fired after reports surfaced that he spoke at the 2016 H.L. Mencken Club Conference – an annual gathering that has featured prominent white nationalists such as Richard Spencer.
...
Kudlow told the Post that he had known Brimelow "forever" but was unaware of his work on VDare.com and of his views on race.

Being unaware of Brimelow's views on race if you know him is not credible. First sentence in his Wikipedia entry:

"Peter Brimelow (born 13 October 1947) is a British-born American magazine editor, writer, columnist, and former journalist. He is the founder of the webzine VDARE, which has been described as a white supremacist web-site[1][2][3], a description rejected by Brimelow.[4]"

It goes on:

Brimelow's later books include Alien Nation: Common Sense About America's Immigration Disaster, The Wall Street Gurus: How You Can Profit from Investment Newsletters, and The Worm in the Apple: How the Teacher Unions Are Destroying American Education.

Alien Nation deals with immigration policy and the influx of legal and illegal aliens. ...

Brimelow has appeared as a guest on The Political Cesspool, a "pro-white" talk-radio show. Following the 2008 United States elections, he advocated that to win, the Republican Party should focus on "white votes".[16] His website VDARE has been rated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a white nationalist hate group.[17][18]

Brimelow appeared on a panel discussing multiculturalism during the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC 2012), and gave a talk titled "The Failure of Multiculturalism: How the pursuit of diversity is weakening the American Identity." In the face of condemnation from MSNBC and PFTAW, Al Cardenas of the American Conservative Union denied knowing him or his reputation.[19]

Brimelow opposes both illegal and legal immigration.[20] He has referred to Spanish speaking immigrants as "completely dysfunctional. They're on welfare; they're not doing any kind of work - at least not legal work - and their children are having a terrible time. They're dropping out of school; there's an increase in teenage pregnancy".[20] He said California used to be a "paradise" but was "rapidly turning into hispanic slum" and was "totally overrun by barrios of illegal immigrants."[20] The Daily Beast describes Brimelow as a "white nationalist".[21]
...
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has designated VDARE a hate group,[23][24][25] that was "once a relatively mainstream anti-immigration page", but by 2003 became "a meeting place for many on the radical right". The SPLC also criticized VDARE for publishing articles by white nationalists Jared Taylor and Sam Francis.[26] It has been called "white nationalist" by the Rocky Mountain News,[27] although Brimelow himself denies being a white nationalist.[28] It has also been described as white supremacist.[2]

VDARE has been described by the Anti-Defamation League as a racist anti-immigrant group. [29][30]

and the only reason Brimelow would gain access to people like Kulow is because of his views then clearly Kudlow is either lying or is an uninformed ass. Considering his economic thoughts I bet he's both a liar and an uninformed ass.

and not be aware of their racist tendencies. Krudlow is a liar, just like everyone else in the "Drain the Swamp" Trump administration.

It's time for Trump to resign. Tearing apart an entire country, especially a country as wealthy and powerful as the United States, to cover up your criminal activities, is far beyond the pale of honesty, integrity and moral acceptance. Trump is the most immoral, dishonest, and ego-maniacal person to ever hold any political office in American history. Mr. Trump, resign. Now!

Kudlow knows full well what this douche bag stands for. Larry isn’t just a Trump advisor, he is employed by the US government and paid with your tax dollars. It’s time for all these white supremacists to be removed from our government.

"Kudlow told the Washington Post that he had known Brimelow "forever" but was unaware of his work on VDare.com and of his views on race."

He lied. He lied. He lied. He flat out lied.

Even. Kudlow. Knows about VDARE, Brimelow, Hannity pal Hal Turner, National Review 's Derbyshire, Jared Taylor, John Tanton, etc., etc. It's not a secret held tighter than Trump did the code-level information he gave the effing Russians!

Hell, just walk around the west wing and look at Stephen Miller, John Kelly, and if he's still allowed in the building - Jefferson Beauregard ‘Stonewall’ Sessions III, a man who hates everyone who is not a Straight White Xristian Cisgendered Male.

brimelow lie so easily and obviously. They really take us for the chumps they are. All of them should be rounded up and let loose in Montana, Idaho, or any other predominantly white paradise/state. Put trackers deep inside their bodies so that if they try to cut it out they would die. Let them set up their white paradise....a satellite could be tasked to watch the state. That's what they want for non-whites along with genocide so let them have at for battles they would have for dominance over others in Whiteland..... 👴🏽

Give them the nastiest, most uninhabitable chunk of real estate and keep them there.

If they can't handle a diverse society, then they should live in their own apartheid hell

At first, however, it would be blissful, surrounded by so much whiteness.



Brimlow, beaming, in whiteness, upon a smaller white person.
