https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/get-out...s-dark-secrets/Katie McHugh, an admitted former white nationalist and writer at the Daily Caller and Breitbart News, is the subject of an extraordinary profile by BuzzFeed News reporter Rosie Gray in which she talks about the alt-right’s dark secrets.
McHugh tells Gray that she started out her career as a libertarian who was led down a dark path toward outright racism. She says that while she harbored racist views before working at Breitbart, she thinks that working at that right-wing publication encouraged her to be even more extreme.
“The thing is, I think Breitbart — and let me preface this by saying I take responsibility for all my actions. Everything I said that was terrible was my fault. However, I think that people’s flaws were encouraged,” she said. “I think Milo’s fame should not have been encouraged — it was very bad for him. And my vindictiveness and my capacity for cruelty were encouraged.”
But McHugh’s racism got so bad at one point that even Breitbart Texas editor Brandon Darby became concerned that she was openly supporting the writings of neo-Nazis.
However, former Breitbart boss Steve Bannon told Darby to back off of his criticism and he never disciplined McHugh for promoting neo-Nazi Twitter accounts.
“Steve said ‘stop it’ just out of irritation,” she said. “But it never, never affected my rise in the company.”
In fact, Bannon eventually promoted her to be his producer on his Sirius XM radio show.
Much of the profile documents how the white nationalist movement has worked to insert itself into supposedly “mainstream” conservative institutions — including former Trump Department of Homeland Security official Ian Smith, who was fired after his ties to white nationalism were exposed.
In the end, McHugh hopes that her story inspires more people who have been taken in by the movement to flee.
“There is forgiveness, there is redemption,” she tells Gray. “You have to own up to what you did and then forcefully reject this and explain to people, and tell your story, and say, ‘Get out while you can.’”

Did Trump Bribe Ukraine to Stop Cooperating With Mueller?
By Jonathan Chait@jonathanchait Donald Trump’s habitual dishonesty is a trait well understood by the entire mainstream news media, and even many members of the conservative media. But it is not fully understood. Trump manages to lie in ways that hardened cynics never anticipated. The last few hours alone have brought news of fresh new forms of Trumpian dishonesty that have managed to shock even the people who were looking for it.
When Trump produced an absurd letter in 2016 declaring he “will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” everybody assumed it had been written by his absurd doctor, Harold Bornstein. That was the scandal: Trump was being “treated” by a hilarious quack. Last night, we learned we had been far too naïve. The truth was that Bornstein never even wrote the letter, whose actual author was Donald Trump. The most skeptical assumptions about Trump somehow proved too credulous.
Second, and more significantly, on Monday the New York Times revealed a list of questions that Robert Mueller had, ostensibly, drawn up to ask the president. Shortly after this news broke, a furious Trump denounced the leak. (“So disgraceful that the questions concerning the Russian Witch Hunt were ‘leaked’ to the media.”) Trump proceeded to insist the questions showed Mueller had no leads on collusion with Russia, and was instead luring him into a perjury trap or prosecuting the secondary crime of obstruction of justice without an underlying offense (“No questions on Collusion. Oh, I see…you have a made up, phony crime, Collusion, that never existed, and an investigation begun with illegally leaked classified information.”).
