1/ Fact-check: French claims that "'alt-right' themes have also spread to Fox News," and an example he gave was that a guest mentioned Raspail's book "The Camp of the Saints," which French described as an "extraordinarily racist book."
2/ Actually, W.F. Buckley, the founder of French's primary writing site, @NRO, lauded Camp of the Saints as a "great novel," and referred to it in his very interesting 2004 article on the subject of immigration, here: nationalreview.com/2004/07/no-iri…
@NRO 3/ Some WFB quotes from the piece: "Unless immigration laws can distinguish between individuals and whole populations, the relative benefits of life in the desired country would not continue."
@NRO 4/ Further, French claims that "'Alt-right' words like cuckservative or cuck entered the lexicon. The term refers to pornography in which white men watch black men have sex with their wives." Actually, there are many definitions and usages of the word...
@NRO 5/ ...which derives from many centuries ago, "cuckold." Interesting that French chose the one he did, which is apparently a recent phenomenon and not a definition widely held, even according to Wikipedia.
@NRO 6/ And talk about "unwittingly" "echoing 'Alt-right' themes," French concludes that his "fellow Republicans" should "react with the energy and commitment to banish it back into the irrelevant margins of American life."....
@NRO 7/...while French himself, in yet another piece, essentially works w/ the Dem-media complex to insinuate that Trump and his supporters are racist and the only way they can prove otherwise, apparently, is to reject Trump and open our nation's borders.
