Trump’s chief economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, routinely invites white supremacist Peter Brimelow, publisher of the VDARE website, to his dinner parties in Connecticut.
When confronted about that, he feigned ignorance , saying he had no idea Brimelow was a racist. And if you believe that…
The publisher of a website that serves as a platform for white nationalism was a guest last weekend at the home of President Trump’s top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow.
Peter Brimelow attended the gathering, a birthday bash for Kudlow, one day after a White House speechwriter was dismissed in the wake of revelations that he had spoken alongside Brimelow on a 2016 panel.
Brimelow, 70, was once a well-connected figure in mainstream conservative circles, writing for Dow Jones and National Review. But over the past two decades, he has become a zealous promoter of white-identity politics on Vdare.com, the anti-immigration website that he founded in 1999.
While Brimelow has long personally rejected the label of “white nationalist,” he acknowledged to the Harvard Crimson in 2016 that his website does “certainly publish a few writers I would regard as ‘white nationalist’ in that they stand up for whites just as Zionists, black nationalists do for Jews, blacks, etc.”…
“If I had known this, we would never have invited him,” Kudlow said. “I’m disappointed and saddened to hear about it.”
Kudlow said that Brimelow’s views on immigration and race are “a side of Peter that I don’t know, and I totally, utterly disagree with that point of view and have my whole life. I’m a civil rights Republican.”
Kudlow said Brimelow, who also lives in Connecticut, has been “coming to my dinner parties for years,” but said “none of this other stuff has ever come up.”
I don’t believe that for one second. When Brimelow was fired by the National Review, the most prominent and famous conservative magazine in the country, it was a really big deal and a matter of great controversy. And the white supremacist views expressed on VDARE is hardly a secret, for crying out loud. It’s one of the largest and most popular sites on the web for white supremacy. There’s no way Kudlow didn’t know his views before this week. He just didn’t expect to get caught. And now he’s going full-on Captain Renault: “I am shocked — shocked, I tell you — to find out there’s racism going on here!”

VDare has been known as a white nationalist website and forum since the inception of high speed internet and the internet became a tool of the masses. Someone like Kudlow would have to be thick to not be at least aware of it's existence.
