The Dissident Right Loses Its Voice—for Now
Nobody puts Carlson in the corner.
In October of 2019, when Baby Peachy had something like five measly followers and was not yet the internet micro celebrity she is today, I sent an essay to my friend Matt Peterson at The American Mind.
To my delight, he decided to publish it.
That early essay, which I titled “And You Call Yourself a Christian,” was the very first thing I wrote as Peachy Keenan.
I remembered this week that I’d written it because of Tucker Carlson. Earlier that day, I’d watched a segment on Fox where Longhouse shield maiden Kristen Powers berated Tucker about immigration. How could he call himself a Christian and be against open borders, she scolded. How dare he claim to be a good person and yet want to stop illegal immigration?
Here is the exchange from that segment:
CARLSON: So I have a moral obligation to share my earnings—
POWERS: Yes.
CARLSON: —and my country with people I’ve never met because they are suffering?
POWERS: Are you a Christian?
CARLSON: I am absolutely a Christian.
PO…
