On Monday, August 14, the Daily Caller very quietly removed white nationalist Jason Kesslers contributions to the publication after the violence and chaos in Charlottesville. The white nationalist Unite the Right rally was organized by Kessler.
But the white nationalist problem at Tucker Carlsons Daily Caller, a conservative political outlet launched in 2010 as a response to the Huffington Post, is bigger than just Kessler. Throughout the 2016 election and since, the Daily Caller has not only published the work of white nationalists, but some of its writers have routinely whitewashed the Alt-Right, while one editor there is an associate of key Alt-Right figures. Two Daily Caller contributors, including a senior investigative reporter, were recently announced as speakers at the upcoming white nationalist H.L. Mencken Club conference organized by Paul Gottfried, a godfather of the Alt-Right.
