Greer’s ties to white nationalists have attracted notice before, particularly by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which issued a report last year titled “ The Daily Caller Has A White Nationalist Problem.” He has been photographed among the Wolves of Vinland, a neo-pagan group that has ties to the white-nationalist movement, and has been photographed alongside the white-nationalist activists Devin Saucier and Marcus Epstein, the former Tom Tancredo and Pat Buchanan aide who assaulted a black woman in Washington, D.C., in 2007. However, I will continue to promote my views without any shame or regret.” I am now resigning any affiliation with The Caller. I already stepped down as an editor from The Daily Caller in June to focus on writing a book. The Daily Caller was unaware of my outside writings. My tweets and Daily Caller columns are my honest views. That said, I do not apologize for honestly stating what I believed to be correct at the time, unless everyone must apologize every time they change their opinion. “As the political situation has evolved in recent years, so have my views. “In my early twenties when it appeared our only mainstream options were Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton, I was attracted to more radical ideas and expressed them under the name Michael McGregor at Radix Journal,” Greer wrote. In a statement acknowledging writing for Radix, Greer said that his views have changed since he stopped writing for the journal in 2015. In an interview with the website Social Matter in 2014, the same year Greer started working at The Daily Caller, Michael McGregor was identified as the managing editor of Radix. Greer expressed racist antiblack views and anti-Semitism in the Radix articles he wrote under the Michael McGregor byline, and disparaged other groups including feminists, immigrants, Christian Zionists, and the pro-life movement. Greer’s role at Radix offers yet another glimpse into how members of an underground white-nationalist scene-emboldened by the rise of Donald Trump during the 2016 election-were able to operate relatively undetected in conservative institutions. The Atlantic last week was the first to report ties between a former Department of Homeland Security official, Ian Smith, and a group of known white nationalists, including Spencer. Greer, who stepped down as an editor at The Daily Caller in June to write a book, said he would drop his contributor status last week after The Atlantic confronted him with leaked chat logs that showed he had spent some of his time at the website also writing as “Michael McGregor” for Radix, the online publication founded by the “alt-right” leader Richard Spencer, who wants to turn America into a white ethno-state.
