A conservative organization has cut ties with right-leaning pundit Michelle Malkin over her support for an alt-right personality who has denied the Holocaust took place.

Malkin's severance from Young America's Foundation, which has booked her for over 15 years, came as a result of her repeated support for Nick Fuentes.

“Michelle Malkin is no longer part of YAF’s campus lecture program,” a YAF spokesman told the Daily Beast Sunday.

Fuentes and his followers, who call themselves "groypers," a nod to the Pepe the Frog meme, have gained notoriety in recent months for videos which traffic in anti-Semitism and racism and for interrupting events hosted by more mainstream conservative groups, such as Turning Point USA.

Michelle Malkin is betting that Nick Fuentes and his racism are the Right's future

Michelle Malkin isn't melting down. Rather, her recent embrace of the dregs of humanity — bitter little boys screaming Holocaust denials in front of a green screen in their mother's basement — is a calculated choice in her mission to navigate what comes after President Trump's tenure comes to an end. And it's a very bad choice.

Malkin has been a power player in conservative media since before Trump starred on reality television. She spent a decade churning out New York Times bestsellers and reinventing the conservative blogosphere. All throughout, she sustained the hallmarks of the establishment, a nationally-syndicated newspaper column, and regular prime-time cable appearances. Given that radical immigration restrictionism has been her main cause throughout, one might have expected her to become an even more important player in the era of Trump.

Instead, she quietly departed from Blaze Media a year ago. Now she has been fired by the Young Americas Foundation and is hobnobbing with alt-right white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.

Malkin's ouster from YAF comes after she celebrated Fuentes — most famous for denying the Holocaust by equating victims to cookies in an oven — as "one of the New Right leaders." She also smeared Ben Shapiro for disavowing Fuentes and his ilk. (That Shapiro did this should not be shocking, considering that he's an Orthodox Jew and an actually decent human being.)

Young America's Foundation (YAF) has removed Michelle Malkin, a right-wing writer and pundit, from its roster of featured speakers. Malkin, the author of a number of books—including, most recently, Open Borders Inc: Who's Funding America's Destruction?—has toured campuses as part of YAF's speakers bureau for 17 years.

The firing comes as a result of Malkin's vocal support for 22-year-old far-right provocateur Nick Fuentes and his allies, the groypers (yes, that's what they call themselves).

"YAF gives a platform to a broad range of speakers with a range of views within the mainstream of conservative thought," wrote YAF. "Immigration is a vital issue that deserves robust debate. But there is no room in mainstream conservatism or at YAF for holocaust deniers, white nationalists, street brawlers, or racists."

Fuentes, a former fellow traveler of alt-right leader Richard Spencer, has a long history of racist and anti-Semitic comments. While he has attempted to distance himself from the alt-right—he characterizes his views as nationalist rather than racialist—it's clear that what he means by "America First" is white nationalism. Indeed, he called conservative writer Matt Walsh a race traitor for inveighing against the El Paso shooter, and he has opined that Jim Crow was no big deal.

Needless to say, the intellectual leaders of the campus conservative movement should be working to expel the groypers. But Malkin has come to their defense, recently describing Fuentes favorably as "one of the New Right leaders" and deriding his critics as "cringe." After YAF tweeted the above statement condemning racists and Holocaust deniers, Malkin fired back that the "keepers of the gate" were trying to silence her for defending "unjustly prosecuted Proud Boys, patriotic young nationalists/groypers & demographic truth-tellers."
