Matt Walsh, one of the most-listened-to podcast hosts in America, defended a well-known white nationalist organization on his Daily Wire show this week. On Tuesdays episode of his eponymous podcast, Walsh argued that VDare a racist nonprofit listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center was being targeted by a government investigation solely because of its inconvenient and unpopular beliefs.

The attorney general of New York, Letitia James, is of course best known for her campaign to seize all the assets of the leading presidential candidate, Donald Trump, Walsh said. What shes not so well-known for is her campaign to target the website VDare explicitly because of its inconvenient and unpopular beliefs. This is a story thats gotten very little attention in conservative media, but its every bit as scandalous as what Letitia James is doing to Donald Trump.

Walsh was referring to James ongoing investigation into whether VDares 2020 purchase of a $1.4 million castle in West Virginia may have violated its New York nonprofit status. He also alluded to the fact that earlier this year James won a civil fraud lawsuit against Trump for falsely inflating his net worth, meaning that the former president could be on the hook for $454 million if he loses on appeal.

VDare likes to talk about things like crime statistics and what happens in cities like Baltimore, Walsh said, likely referring to the VDare websites skewed, racist of coverage of Black crime in America. So therefore, like Donald Trump, they need to be crushed. Every real estate transaction theyve ever engaged in needs to be carefully scrutinized until theyre bankrupt.

Walsh also complained that not enough conservatives were standing up for VDare. Is there anyone in this country whos even suggested sacrificing anything for a site like VDare? he asked. Of course not. They have unfashionable views. So theyre not going to be around much longer.

For Walsh to claim that VDare merely has unfashionable, inconvenient and unpopular views obscures just how extreme the organization is. As noted by Angry White Men a website that documents white supremacist rhetoric and was the first to report on Walshs comments VDare has defended the racist manifesto of the El Paso shooter who killed 23 people during a 2019 anti-Hispanic shooting spree at a Walmart in Texas. And a video that VDare published on YouTube called for a secessionist movement that would result in the creation of a white ethnostate .
