President Trump’s economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, had a publisher over for dinner earlier this month who provides a platform for white nationalists, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Kudlow, who has known Peter Brimelow for decades, said he wasn’t aware that for nearly 20 years Brimelow has run a website, Vdare.com, that promotes white-identity politics. This follows the firing of a Trump speechwriter for appearing at a conference with Brimelow.

But just what is Vdare anyway? A teen challenge involving vaping? A virtual update of the D.A.R.E. program?

Vdare.com is an anti-immigration website named after Virginia Dare, the first English child born in what is now the United States. Nothing is known about her other than her name and date of her birth, but that hasn’t stopped white nationalists, and others, from speculating.

In July 1587, a group of English explorers arrived on the coast of what is now North Carolina to start a settlement. There had been other, unsuccessful European attempts to settle the land, but Governor John White still brought his pregnant daughter Eleanor Dare, and her husband, Ananias.

Within a month, Eleanor had given birth.

Be wary of any DUers posting anything from sites like Vdare, NatVan, Stormfront, etc. Virginia Dare and I were both American-born to parents who came here from overseas but that's where the similarities end for many racists who think they know who "real Americans" are and the rest of us must be "fake Americans".
