At the same time, conservative women such as Laura Ingraham and Debbie Aldrich, as well as the women of Fox News, advance the conservative agenda in other media. They’ve done incredible work spreading the conservative message and debunking progressive narratives about women. These women have also fought back against the sexism of the alt-right.
Conservative women, like conservative POC, are often asked to fight a two-front war against the left and the alt-right. While the alt-right is still a minute movement, women should not have to fight alone. More importantly, conservative men should never give the impression that they back the alt-right’s sexism.
Constitutional Conservatives vs. The Alt-Right
When Fox News referred to Nicholas Fuentes, who takes alt-right positions on women and race, as a conservative, it did a disservice to conservative women everywhere.
Will Nardi, founder of the conservative publication, The Rouser, condemned these positions in a debate with Fuentes. Fuentes argued that women belong in the home, while insisting that women were ill-equipped to lead companies. Will Nardi defended the aspirations of women to lead companies or the country from the House and the Senate. More conservatives should imitate Will Nardi’s willingness to confront radicals like Fuentes. We will not stand for any sexist harassment of our activists. Constitutional Conservatives will never unite with the alt-right because we are not willing to leave anyone, not women, not POC, not the unborn, not religious minorities, behind.
