A Wall Street Journal editorial:
“A growing segment of the American right is populated by, and susceptible to, cranks and conspiracists. A movement that used to admire William F. Buckley Jr. and Thomas Sowell now elevates a pseudo-historian who blames Winston Churchill for World War II and media personalities who sell falsehoods as a triumph for free speech.”
“This isn’t an intellectual or political movement that is going to win converts, nor will it deserve them.”
