[THREAD:] The Daily Caller asked us what we thought of CNN showing an interview with Richard Spencer, and we told them. They didn’t like our response, and published false information about one of our writers.

2/ The Daily Caller has published at least nine documented bigots, some of them white nationalists, ditching them only after public outcry. They’ll do it again, and will only dial it back temporarily in response to pressure.

@mmfa 5/ Daily Caller contracted Jason Kessler to write for them, and ended the relationship after it was reported that Kessler was supportive of white supremacist groups. Kessler organized the Unite the Right white supremacist gathering in Charlottesville, VA.

@mmfa 6/ Milo Yiannopoulos was set to publish at The Daily Caller, but the plan was foiled by outcry, after reporting about Yiannopoulos’ attempts to mainstream white nationalism at Breitbart. Yiannopoulous and an opinion editor were axed.

@mmfa 10/ “Moses Apostaticus” is the pen name of a writer The Daily Caller has published. As @cjane87 pointed out last year, the writer has a history of anti-Semitic writings.

@mmfa @cjane87 The Daily Caller is part of the right-wing project tasked with mainstreaming far-right ideas in the service of the Trump campaign and right-wing politicians. We suspect that these are not the last racists The Daily Caller will byline and be embarrassed into firing. [END]
