</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Conservative pundit and syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin has a long history of divisive rhetoric around a range of issues - particularly immigration. In the past year, however, she has publicly and explicitly allied herself with white supremacists, particularly the so-called “groypers,” appearing on white supremacist podcasts and other online programs. Malkin’s bold support of and interaction with white supremacists points to the increasingly fine line between people who call themselves “American nationalists” and recognizable white supremacy.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

In her 2004 book, In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in World War II and the War on Terror, she defends both the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II and racial profiling of Arab and Muslim Americans after 9/11.</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Her latest book, Open Borders Inc.: Who's Funding America's Destruction?, released in September 2019, focuses on her claims that churches and various nonprofit organizations are contributing to what Malkin sees as unfettered immigration to the U.S., which she believes is destroying the country.</b> In the book, she blamed some mainstream conservatives for embracing the status quo on immigration, and criticized other groups spanning the political spectrum for facilitating increasing immigration to the U.S.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">When discussing the book during a Facebook live promotional event, Malkin appeared alongside <b>Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes. </b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> When McInnes promulgated George Soros conspiracy theories, asserting the discredited claim that Soros, a child in Hungary at the time, was “not a Holocaust survivor” but rather a “Holocaust facilitator,” Malkin agreed with him.</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">One month later, in an October 1, 2019, column attacking ADL, Malkin dismissed the violent and deadly actions by white supremacists at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017 by accusing “left” organizations of exploiting “the riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, as a means of demonizing all Trump supporters and nationalist activists while giving cover to antifa…”</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">In March 2020, Malkin’s column about a speech she gave at a groyper conference that month reflected her bigoted views. She wrote, “America will look like the cover of Ilhan Omar’s new book. It will look like the no-go zones of the Twin Cities. It will look like the serial predator-infested public schools in Montgomery County,</span> Maryland. It will not look like this room. This is not conspiracy replacement theory. This is conspiracy truth.” By this point, Malkin was echoing many of the views promoted by white supremacists, joining the battle against what they call “Conservative, Inc.,” otherwise known as the mainstream conservative movement.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Malkin had for years expressed concern about demographic changes in the U.S. she attributed to the rise in immigration of people from undeveloped countries, but her unease appeared to grow at what she perceived to be a complacent response from the conservative establishment. She also argued that anti-establishment “dissidents” were being attacked verbally and assaulted at political events.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Through much of 2019, Malkin was regularly invited to speak at mainstream conservative events and also spoke on behalf of Young America’s Foundation (YAF</b>), a conservative youth organization, as part of their speakers’ bureau. By November 2019, however, Malkin’s association with <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">YAF would change drastically. Early in the month, Ben Shapiro, a conservative commentator, gave a speech at Stanford University on behalf of YAF, in which he argued that the alt right, including the groypers, were racist and trying to sabotage conservatives by heckling them in public. </span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The groypers, a loose network of alt right figures who are vocal supporters of white supremacist and<b> “America First” podcaster Nick Fuentes,</b> were in the midst of a campaign to disrupt speeches by mainstream conservatives like Shapiro and Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative student organization. The groypers were showing up at events and asking questions designed to embarrass the speakers.</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
</span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Shortly afterwards, Malkin gave a speech at UCLA titled, “America First: the Torch Is Being Passed,” in which she criticized Shapiro. She praised Fuentes and the groypers as “patriotic conservatives.” She also called Fuentes one of the “New Right leaders.” </span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>
</b></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>Malkin’s UCLA speech was praised by numerous white supremacists, including Fuentes, neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin and James Fulford, a writer for VDare</b>. YAF, meanwhile, dismissed Malkin from the organization, tweeting, “There is no room in mainstream conservatism or at YAF for holocaust deniers, white nationalists, street brawlers, or racists.” In reply, Malkin tweeted, “The Keepers of the Gate have spoken. My defense of unjustly prosecuted Proud Boys, patriotic young nationalists/groypers & demographic truth-tellers must not be tolerated…”</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>At the end of January 2020, Malkin announced on Twitter that she would be a speaker at the first America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), sponsored by the founders of America First Students,</b> which describes itself as a “campus conservative organization” but was created by groyper activists. The Washington, D.C. conference featured a number of white supremacists as speakers, including Fuentes, Patrick Casey, who heads American Identity Movement, and Scott Greer, who wrote, using a pseudonym, for the white supremacist journal Radix. </div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Malkin began her speech by remarking to the crowd, including Fuentes and Casey, “Thank you. Thank you.

</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">In a column about AFPAC afterwards, she referred to the groypers as “serious young men who never take themselves too seriously in their shared mission to end mass migration, restore law and order, and conserve and uphold actual conservative values” and she saluted “their sardonic humor and irreverence layered over their core America First message.”</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

Malkin told Goldy, “Deplatforming dissenting voices is a ruthless, bizarre and unprogressive way to achieve ‘diversity and inclusion.’”</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Since appearing at AFPAC, Malkin has continued to align herself with white supremacists and fringe figures to promote their views.
