President Trump defended Mr. Carlson’s friendly interview with Nick Fuentes, an openly antisemitic white supremacist. Hours later, Mr. Fuentes wrote “Thank you Mr. President!”

The president made himself the guest of honor at a Mar-a-Lago wedding.

There is so much infighting right now among MAGA types that I can’t really keep up. One battle that caught my eye is a fight over Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Most of what is being said is wrong in one way or another, hence I want to rehearse some important points about the German theologian who was murdered by the Nazis.

Agents on a detail with the country singer would presumably be unable to respond or delayed in responding to other incidents, according to sources.

Robert P. George said he and the foundation’s president were at an “impasse.”

A Heritage insider alleging “openly misogynistic and racist” conduct shines a light on the right’s inner workings.

Dropping out of college after one year following his participation in the deadly white nationalist “Unite The Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA, in 2017, Fuentes launched a career as a racist, antisemitic, misogynistic far-right activist and livestreamer.

Eric Metaxas

Having once been considered a somewhat scholarly religious-right commentator and author, Metaxas became increasingly radical during the Obama administration and eventually developed into a full-blown conspiracy theorist during the Trump era. A die-hard Trump cultist, Metaxas’ message has grown increasingly dire with every passing election, as he warns incessantly that America is sliding into modern-day Nazism, thanks to the Democrats and the degenerates who vote for them.

Kash Patel

Trump's pick to lead the FBI is a MAGA insider who seems eager to go after Trump's enemies, including the "deep state" and mainstream media, which Patel has called "the most powerful enemy that the United States has ever seen." Patel's book "Government Gangsters" includes a long list of people he'd like to see punished, including Republicans who refused to go along with Trump's attempts to stay in power after losing the 2020 election. Patel has promoted bogus election-fraud claims and recruited QAnon conspiracy theorists for Trump's social media company.
