Larry Kudlow says he 'didn't know' party guest was publisher of white nationalist commentary
ABC News ^ | 08/21/2018 | By DEVIN DWYER and TARA PALMERI

National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow, the top economic adviser to President Trump, confirms a Washington Post report that he hosted at his home last weekend a controversial publisher linked to white nationalist commentary.

Peter Brimelow, the publisher, founded the anti-immigration website Vdare.com. The site has become a forum for hard-line conservative views on race and immigration.

"I don't regard us as a 'white nationalist' site although we certainly publish a few writers I would regard as 'white nationalist' in that they stand up for whites just as Zionists, Black Nationalists do for Jews, Blacks etc," Brimelow told the Harvard Crimson in 2016. "We're certainly politically incorrect," he added.

Kudlow denies to ABC that he had any familiarity with Brimelow's views.

"I’ve known Peter Brimelow as a financial journalist," Kudlow told ABC. "That’s how I knew him. He wouldn’t tell me [about his views], because I’m the wrong guy. I’m a Jack Kemp guy, my history is opposite of that. It’s crazy."

Brimelow began his career as a financial writer for Dow Jones and later the National Review, according to the Post.

"If I had known I wouldn’t have invited him. I was very sad and troubled to learn he has gone in that direction," Kudlow added. "It was a large party, who could know. I couldn’t know. It was too bad."

All “white supremacists” at that level are CIA.

Big deal. Nothing compared to the trash that obama brought into the White House.

The old tricks you people have been pulling on us are really stupid, and they’re not going to work any more. You democrats have already lost the black vote, just give it up you clowns.

When you turned the democrat party into a slave plantation, you should have been smart enough to figure out what would eventually happen. But you weren’t.

Now look at you. Reduced to sending CIA operatives out to pose as white supremacists, just so you can stupidly try to make republicans look like racists.

You people are sick, stupid and evil.

Is it a crime to be a white nationalist?

Guilt by association. By this standard, no Democrat could invite the publisher of the New York Times because they publish articles promoting Hispanics, homosexuals, or blacks.

Much, much worse. It is a thought crime.

RE: Is it a crime to be a white nationalist?

Let’s define what it is first.

White nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism that holds the belief that white people are a race and seeks to develop and maintain a white national identity.

Its proponents identify with and are attached to the concept of a white nation.

White nationalists say they seek to ensure the survival of the white race, and the cultures of historically white states. They hold that white people should maintain their majority in majority-white countries, maintain their political and economic dominance, and that their cultures should be foremost.

Many white nationalists believe that miscegenation, multiculturalism, immigration of nonwhites and low birth rates among whites are threatening the white race, and some argue that it amounts to white genocide.

So, based on the definition, is it a crime? Of course not. But is it a morally right idea? Ahh that’s where the debate lies.

Brimelow’s “Alien Nation” (1995) was one of the most important books on immigration of its era. We’d be a lot better-off today as a nation if it hadn’t been ignored.

He was just a guy in the neighborhood. That was good enough for BHO.

Go to any Democrat fundraiser or a speech and you’re bound to run into a number of anti-Semites because the Dems are becoming more and more anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. They’re not intelligence operatives or Antifa plants either. They’re real Democrats!

Would it be a fair assessment to say that Jeremiah Wright’s “church” was black nationalist? I know Louis Farrakhan IS.

Academia and bigots in the media only promote white shaming these days. Sit down. Shut up. And decline any promotions. “step aside”. “let someone else lead”. Or failing that we’v seen several minority women say “just die already”.

I just looked at that website. Nothing unusual or weird at all. In fact it featured an article by Michelle Malkin. I guess the left think she's an honorary white. Brimlelow is a well known and respected financial analyst. He is also one of the early heralds who warned of the immigration catastrophe which we are now embroiled in.

Kudlow should have pushed back.

“black nationalists” are ‘also known as” “black separatists”.

Being supportive of America (first) is not the conventional usage of an “adjective=nationalist”. Be a “nationalist” (period) if you want.

Louis Farrakhan opposes mixed marriage (like the one bastard Barack’s parents briefly had after he was conceived).

Azltan rconquista brown nationalists want to take power of part of America that they think was “stolen” from Mexico and is “theirs” by birthright. Secession is their goal.
