Don’t forget for a moment what they are.

Don& #39;t forget for a moment who they are.

I recognize the standard response is "well, these are provocateurs." In fact, they are prominent in part because they are promoted by the mainstream. Schlichter is a common guest host for @hughhewitt, who, despite having gone Full Renfield, is mainstream conservative. /3

/4 And Kelly is a Federalist writer who gets treated seriously on CNN ( @secupp) and gets treated like a serious conservative commentator when he successfully trolls Twitter into banning him.

/5 There will be more Kyle Rittenhouses. That& #39;s what people like Jesse Kelly and Kurt Schlichter clearly want. It& #39;s what the kind of people who admire them want.

And as for the segments of the media that promote and mainstream them? Well, I guess it& #39;s not a deal-breaker.
