Richard Hanania is an American political science researcher and right-wing political commentator. Hanania is the founder and president of the think tank Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI).
Known for expressing culturally conservative positions, his writing has been described as overtly racist. Between 2008 and the early 2010s Hanania wrote for alt-right and white supremacist publications under the pseudonym Richard Hoste. He acknowledged and disavowed his writing under the pseudonym when it was reported in 2023, though others have cast doubt on whether Hanania has in fact abandoned racist beliefs.
As I read that, it sounds as perhaps he may have indeed espoused racist beliefs, because he doesn't deny that claim. Instead he disavowed his writing.
Yawn... The racist card has been played out.
