WTH: How Do We Keep Neo-Nazis Out of the Conservative Movement? Eli Lake Explains.
1Description
The fever swamps of the alt-right have crept upstream. Fringe figures are making their way onto increasingly mainstream platforms, spreading ideological contagion to impressionable young audiences. Having long covered the creeping antisemitism of the Left, the fight now unfolding on the Right is an inspiring and essential one. With his debut WTH appearance, Eli Lake reminds us that this isn’t a question of free speech, it’s a question of policing one’s own coalition with moral clarity. If the Right doesn’t get this right, what will 2028 look like for the Republican Party?
Eli Lake is a veteran journalist with expertise in foreign affairs and national security who has reported for Bloomberg, The Daily Beast, and Newsweek.

Good stuff Mr. Thiesson and Ms. Pletka, from time to time I think it's valuable to re-state what the "Movement" is. What exactly are we suppose to conserve? Just like you defining what a Groyper is. Thanks for that. As far as I'm concerned the most important thing is to conserve our liberal founding principles of individual freedom, limited government and individual responsibility. Not sure about today's politics. So how would I describe myself- conservative, liberal or kook? take care.
