While Donald Trump has called on the GOP to become a “worker’s party”— a development Sen. Jeff Sessions called for two years ago, ironically, in the pages of the National Review— French has defended the idea that white working-class communities “deserve to die.”
Specifically, French wrote a piece in support of Kevin D. Williamson, who had said:
The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible. Forget all your cheap theatrical Bruce Springsteen crap. Forget your sanctimony about struggling Rust Belt factory towns and your conspiracy theories about the wily Orientals stealing our jobs. Forget your goddamned gypsum, and, if he has a problem with that, forget Ed Burke, too. The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump’s speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin. What they need isn’t analgesics, literal or political. They need real opportunity, which means that they need real change, which means that they need U-Haul.
French insists that the devastation of the working-class’ livelihoods is unrelated to failed federal policies such as mass immigration:
[I] have seen the challenges of the white working-class first-hand. Simply put, Americans are killing themselves and destroying their families at an alarming rate. No one is making them do it. The economy isn’t putting a bottle in their hand. Immigrants aren’t making them cheat on their wives or snort OxyContin. Obama isn’t walking them into the lawyer’s office to force them to file a bogus disability claim.
When readers responded with outrage to French’s piece, French doubled down in a post entitled “The Great White Working-Class Debate: Just Because I’m ‘Nasty’ Doesn’t Mean I’m Wrong.”

Mr. French can go straight to hell with his bigoted screed.
Sounds like spousal abuse to me.
The day they pick to attempt to realise the death of the white working class, we shall call “Kristolnacht.”
French will need lots of SS protection.
And French better pick Bill as Veep, because Kristol will too.
Well, now I really need to know more about this guy.
This kind of isolating is extremely common in abusive relationships. No drinking. No phone conversations with men. No emails with men. No Facebook. I wonder what else she was required to give up.
And, what did David give up? My hunch is zero, zip, nada.
Watch this guy very closely. He just made my creeper alarm go off.
Call this “Kristolnacht.”
And if it gets to that point, it will be a long time before it stops...
At this point, I believe it is inevitable. The only questions are: When? The answer to that question will answer the other question...
Which ethnic and racial groups will suffer the most when the re-setting begins and then runs its course?
“Let’s see French man up and write a column about wanting the black inner city inhabitants to die. After all, they’re a bigger drain on America than any white guy.”
This is the elephant in the room that this gutless coward would never have the balls to mention.
Its far easier to denigrate white Christians who’ve had the economic rug pulled out from under them by the corporatist RINOs in DC.
Well at least all those “conservatives” that are too conservative to vote for Trump but easily pulled the lever for Dole, GWB, McCain and Romney along with the Republican Party is their god worshipers will have a place to go now.
Gutless coward, indeed. I hope one of the radio talk show hosts starts talking about this.
Well, that term can easily be used against us, Laz.
I saw him briefly on tv this morning - I thought he was gay. Seriously. Or heavily metrosexual.
How? I thought it rather witty, as it bastardizes Bill Kristol’s name.
My God, if my husband and I didn’t drink, didn’t talk to the opposite sex, we’d have no marriage.
Imagine if none of the ladies here could talk to Laz! FR would die of boredom.
Someone used it on Twitter and it was getting slammed as anti-Semitic.
Anyone bother to read the actual article that this article talks about? He’s right. Everyone does have amoral responsibility to do their best, and if their best cannot be accomplished where they currently reside, then you work hard and get yourself to the next stepping stone. The truth hurts sometimes, but that does not mean we don’t all need to hear it. Put your TrumpGoggles aside for a memnt and read the article with your ConservativeGoggles on.
I mentioned you on #76 but used your name inaccurately.
Hey, WE’RE not the ones calling for genocide.
THEY are.
If they wanna act like Nazis, they should be called Nazis.
