The Southern Poverty Law Center strikes again. This pro-white speech writer should not have been fired.

Edit: For some reason, the article is not letting me copy and paste excerpts of its content.

WTF is a "pro-white speech writer?"

Sorry, but I'm dumb.

It is not a good optics for Trump

It feeds into the antiwhite left-wing

Trump needs to vet his employees more strictly

He needs to stop giving Sharpton more ammunition

“Once White House officials were informed about CNN’s pending report, Beattie reportedly was confronted and urged to step down immediately.”

If it’s from CNN, it must be Fake News, but the White House fired him anyway..

Wait...it’s not okay to be a white nationalist? So if you’re white you can’t be for America? What kind of term is that?

Trump speechwriter fired amid scrutiny of appearance with white nationalists

By Robert Costa, Reporter
August 19 at 4:54 PM

A White House speechwriter for President Trump was terminated last week after revelations that he had spoken at a conference attended by well-known white nationalists, according to three people familiar with the decision who were not authorized to speak publicly.

Darren Beattie, who was a visiting instructor at Duke University before he joined the White House speechwriting team, was fired Friday after a media inquiry about his appearance at the 2016 H.L. Mencken Club conference, where Beattie spoke on a panel alongside Peter Brimelow.

Brimelow, founder of the anti-immigrant website Vdare.com, is a “white nationalist” and “regularly publishes works by white supremacists, anti-Semites, and others on the radical right,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, an advocacy group that tracks extremists.

Earlier this year, Brimelow described himself as a believer in “racial nationalism” who sees the future of the United States “precipitating out on racial lines.”

CNN’s KFile, an investigative unit, published a report Sunday on Beattie and his appearance at the Mencken event, which has been attended in the past by white nationalist Richard Spencer. Spencer is a prominent figure in the “alt-right,” a movement whose adherents are known for espousing racist, sexist and anti-Semitic points of view.

Once White House officials were informed about CNN’s pending report, Beattie reportedly was confronted and urged to step down immediately. But he apparently refused to resign, arguing that he was not racist and that he had made uncontroversial academic points at the Mencken gathering. When it became clear that Beattie would not resign, the people familiar with the matter said, the White House terminated him.

Should never buckle to left wing agitprop.

It never pays.

Pure SPLC BS. Disappointed that he was fired. Peter Brimelow is not a white nationalist.

There is nothing wrong with being White.

Kowtowing to the left is a losing strategy.
