So...@MarkSKrikorian of the white nationalist mouthpiece group @CIS_org goes on to @TuckerCarlson to discuss a curious RICO lawsuit CIS filed against @splcenter.

Oh Tucker. How you've changed.

Here's a letter written by John Tanton, the founder of CIS's parent organization FAIR, to Tucker Carlson in 1997 when he worked for the Weekly Standard.

Tanton, a white nationalist who tried to convince everyone he wasn't, enjoyed chatting with Tucker.

Tucker didn't seem to share those views, at least in 1997. This is his piece published in the @WSJ on 10/2/1997:

In 1997, Tucker thought population control methods like infanticide and passive eugenic breeding were wrong. He wasn't afraid back then.

Tucker, what happened to you man?

Now you invite Tanton-fan Krikorian onto your show and tell him you're rooting for him?

What changed since 1997? Do you or do you not support eugenics and infanticide as a method of immigration control?

See, Tanton (whom Tucker didn't seem to care for in 1997) donated his papers outlining the ideological underpinnings of the anti-immigrant movement today exemplified by FAIR, CIS, and NumbersUSA.

I sued to uncover the 11 boxes sealed until 2035:

I honestly can't say it better than you did, Tucker, in 1997, so I'll close with this question you posed:

"Do conservatives who embrace FAIR know all they should about the object of their affections?"
