Can you expand on the white nationalism support of the Claremont Institute and the connection of Chris Rufo to it?

  Not only did their previous president (until 2017) have ties to Steve Bannon (which should be throwing alarms right away) [1], he was a former Lincoln Fellow of the Claremont Institute [2] which still had some recent issues due to members openly supporting white nationalism [3].

    > he was a former Lincoln Fellow of the Claremont Institute [2] Who are you referring to here? It sounded like you were referring to either Bannon or Pack, but neither of them are on the list in your "[2]" link.

      I was specifically referring to Rufo.
