Michelle Malkin and her family have been banned by the temporary housing service Airbnb after accusing her of being a white nationalist.
Malkin, who is of Asian descent, is a conservative columnist and the founder of the popular conservative websites Hot Air and Twitchy.
In recent years, Airbnb embraced guidelines from Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and the Southern Poverty Law Center. This was what led them to falsely label Malkin.
Progressive media outlets have embraced the narrative.
Here’s an article from the Daily Beast via Yahoo News:
Michelle Malkin Banned From Airbnb After Attending Hate FestFar-right columnist and white nationalist ally Michelle Malkin has been booted from Airbnb after attending the white nationalist organization American Renaissance’s gathering in Nashville last November.“Consistent with our policies, if we become aware of users who are members of or are actively affiliated with hate groups, we remove them from Airbnb,” company spokesperson Ben Breit told The Daily Beast on Wednesday. The site also banned Malkin’s husband, she wrote, since her trips were often booked from his account.“The new twist in my case is Airbnb going after my HUSBAND for simply being married to me. Are my kids next? How about other #AmericaFirst families?” Malkin, a close ally of white nationalist Nicholas Fuentes’ extremist “America First” movement, fumed Wednesday afternoon on Twitter.“Of course, this latest & ongoing escalation of the deplatforming wars is not just about Airbnb or me,” continued Malkin. “It’s about curtailing underlying power of SPLC & ADL to oppress their most effective political opponents & sabotage every aspect of our professional & personal lives.”The SPLC has deemed American Renaissance a hate group, while the Anti-Defamation League has called it a “white supremacist journal.”
Tucker Carlson did a segment on this last night, defending Malkin:

This is nothing more than political harassment and Malkin is right to fight it.
