BAD TIMING, ANN! RIGHT-WING AUTHOR ENTERTAINS WHITE NATIONALISTS WHO INSPIRED HER & CHARLESTON SHOOTER

She has been going down the racist rabbit hole more and more over the years, so this was bound to happen. But on the same night as the Charleston attack? This is the fight Ann Coulter is picking!

WASHINGTON, DC – While the shooting in Charleston, South Carolina was taking place, right-wing author Ann Coulter was at the National Press Club to speak before an audience that included a number of White Supremacists, notably those associated with the Council of Conservative Citizens, who was cited as one of confessed shooter Dylann Roof’s first influences.

Coulter was at the Press Club to discuss her latest book “Adios, America: The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole.” which she noted was to address the danger immagration posed, legal and otherwise. More than any of her other books, this one has attracted many in White Nationalist circles and even more so when during an interview with the paleoconservative magazine Chronicles, she cites a National Review article one of them, VDARE.com editor and British expatriate Peter Brimelow as what formed her anti-immigration views. She spoke to a sizable crowd with Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) moderating. CIS is one of several anti-immigration organizations founded by White Supremacist doctor John Tanton, and while its focus on studies on immigration place it above the usual abrasive political campaigns of most in the anti-immigration circles, it’s members including Krikorian have made associations with white nationalist groups and individuals.

Indeed among those that came to hear Coulter speak were a few from those white nationalist circles, including Tim Dionisopoulos, a onetime member of the White Supremacist Youth for Western Civilization who is now a manager for the US Immigration Reform Political Action Committee (USIRPAC), of which Mary Tanton, John Tanton’s wife, is President, fellow former Youth for Western Civilization member Devin Saucier and Jared Taylor, publisher of the White Supremacist American Rennaisance, who wrote a review for his website of the event where he praised Coulter as being “in good form”. 

“Miss Coulter knows the hour is late, but hopes we are not yet past the tipping point,” Taylor wrote, noting how Coulter said that the nation’s demographics are the same that California had when then Gov. Pete Wilson pushed the anti-immigrant legislation Prop. 187 and won a come from behind victory for reelection in 1994. She also said it is encouraging that ‘conservatives are having lots of kids and would have more if they didn’t have to pay so much in taxes, while liberals are aborting their children or going gay.’” 

In addition to being a contemporary of Peter Brimelow who has spoken at American Renaissance conference, Taylor, who has called Coulter’s latest book “a monument to common sense,” is also a board member of the Council of Conservative Citizens, whose website a manifesto found online reputed to be written by confessed Charleston shooter Dylann Roof influenced his racist political activism. “The first website I came to was the Council of Conservative Citizens,” the manifesto read. “There were pages upon pages of these brutal black on White murders. I was in disbelief. At this moment I realized that something was very wrong. How could the news be blowing up the Trayvon Martin case while hundreds of these black on White murders got ignored?” 

The CCC is no stranger to mainstream politics, particularly in South Carolina. It has been at the forefront of many of the rallies defending the Confederate Flag there and defended South Carolina barbeque eatery owner Maurice Bessinger, a staunch segregationalist who came under fire for his views and defense of flying the Confederate Flag In 1999, Buddy Witherspoon, who represented South Carolina on the GOP national committee, tearfully denounced the CCC and denied being a racist when his membership came to light. In 2002, Former State Agriculture Commissioner Charles Sharpe, who was forced out of office in 2004 following his conviction for extortion and lying to a federal officer in connection with a cockfighting ring, defended the CCC in a national column saying, “They think like I do. Particularly on the issue of marriage between whites and nonwhites. They’re not supposed to mix. Cows and horses don’t mix.” Gov. Nikki Haley came under fire a few years ago when she appointed CCC member Roan Garcia Quintana to her 2013 campaign committee. 

On Saturday evening, CCC President Earl P. Holt III appeared on the CCC-sponsored radio program the Political Cesspool, and defended the organization, saying they merely report on Black-on-White crime. “The C of CC is hardly responsible for the actions of this derranged individual merely because he gleaned accurate information from our website,” he said, saying further that him finding information there is “not surprising” since it is “one of perhaps three websites in the universe which accurately reports Black-on-White violent crime, and in particular the seeming endless incidents involving Black-on-White murder.” 

However, the Southern Poverty Law Center tweeted a screenshot of CCC webmaster Kyle Rogers (whom Holt said online he has been unable to reach) describing himself as a “Conservative columnist and activist, Credited by (CNN) award winning journalist Amber Lyons with changing the national discourse on the Trayvon Martin case,” which echoes exactly what was written in the manifesto purportedly by Dylann Roof. On his Facebook page Sunday, Rogers complained about the SPLC and media hounding him. “For those who don’t know, I’m being demonized hard,” he wrote. The SPLC declared that I’m guilty of inspiring he shooter. I had out of town reporters camped out in front of my house for 8 hours yesterday. They were from Raleigh, NC, DC, Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles. The UK Daily Mail (two guys all the way from London) were here today. After the the Daily Mail already ran a huge attack piece on me.”

Rogers then urged people to support him by buying flags from his online flag store.

In her book Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America Coulter defended the CCC from what she said were false charges of being a racist organization. “Apart from some aggressive reporting on black-on-white crimes — the very crimes that are aggressively hidden by the establishment media — there is little on the CCC website suggesting that the group is ‘a thinly-veiled White Supremacist’ organization, as the New York Times calls it in one of its more charitable descriptions.”
