Marine Corps quietly cuts ties with former top Tucker Carlson writer after racist and sexist posts s
The Marine Corps has quietly cut ties with Blake Neff, a former top writer for conservative television host Tucker Carlson, after a number of racist and sexist online postings secretly written by Neff were uncovered by CNN.
Neff, 29, who resigned Friday from his role at Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight, was "immediately removed" from a list of experts helping to support war gaming exercises at the Marine Corps War College, an official told Task & Purpose on Thursday after being asked about Neff's ties to the Marine Corps.
Neff had been a "wargaming subject matter expert" for the college since Oct. 2016, the official said, and had taken part in wargaming exercises with Marines more than a dozen times.
"We recently learned that a wargaming expert who had previously provided support to the Marine Corps War College was responsible for racist social media posts," said Capt. Monica Witt, a Marine spokeswoman.
