And with that, AirBnb has done more about the American Renaissance Conference than the State of Tennessee has.

Michelle Malkin has often been that person of color that conservatives would prop up to deflect charges of racism, even though throughout her career as a conservative commentator she associated regularly with White supremacists and championed their causes via her columns and activism. This has included cavorting and defending anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers, despite her husband Jesse being Jewish. In recent years this has caught up with her in conservative circles and she found herself uninvited from the usual conservative stops, most notably the annual Conservative Political Action Conference who famously cut their ties with her after she aligned herself with Hispanic White supremacist Nick Fuentes and his so-called “Groyper Movement”. Now completely a part of neo-fascist circles, last November she became the first person of color to speak at the American Renaissance (AmRen) Conference in Tennessee, the sponsors of which has promoted the notion that Blacks are genetically inferior to Whites and calls for the races to be separate.

And because of that association, the lodging internet platform Airbnb banned her and her husband for using their services.

Malkin complained about her suspension in an article written for the Unz Review noting that a representative from Airbnb emailed her and informed her that her association with hate groups violates their Terms of Service. “Airbnb’s community policies prohibit people who are members of or actively associate with known hate groups,” the email reportedly read. “Due to your promotion and participation in a known white nationalist and white supremacist conference, we have determined that we will remove your account from Airbnb. This is consistent with action we’ve taken to ban people associated with this conference in past years.” The Unz Review is a website ran by antisemite and Holocaust denier Ron Unz.

Company spokesperson Ben Breit confirmed to The Daily Beast on Wednesday that this action was taken not only against her account but her husband’s as well as she has used both accounts to book events. “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,” he said. It is unknown if Malkin’s children have accounts and if so if they will be banned in anticipation of being used by their parents.

Airbnb has a history of banning the accounts of neo-fascists, most notably four years ago in Charlottesville, VA just prior to the “Unite the Right” rally that was to be held there  – its organizers coincidentally meeting and organizing at the 2017 AmRen conference just two weeks prior. The company also banned the use of its platform to those participating in the rally in Washington, DC on Jan. 6, 2021, Breit noting then as well that the Airbnb was being consistent with its policies to disallow violent domestic terrorist and hate groups.

Some of Malkin’s presentation at November’s AmRen conference was part of a huge information dump by the alternative media outlet Unicorn Riot related to the neo-fascist group Patriot Front who participated in the conference. Media2Rise, the production company owned by Robert Rundo of the neo-Nazi terrorist group Rise Above Movement reportedly was shooting footage there as they have at other outings associated with Patriot Front and an associated group National Justice Party for a documentary they were producing before much of it was leaked by Unicorn Riot, and on Thursday, the Southern Poverty Law Center revealed in a dox that “Lucca Corgiat”, the on-air face of the group is actually, 29-year-old Allen Michael Goff of Billings, Montana who had been known there as an associate of the Creativity Movement and the Montana Front Working Class “Skinheads”, both violent hate groups. Goff himself was convicted of allegedly shooting a Latino teen in 2009 at the age of 17, but the judge ruled out much of the evidence prosecutors presented and said the offense did not qualify as a hate crime. Goff only pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and was sentenced to six months’ probation and a fine of $150 Montana prosecutors also decided to try him as an adult for felony assault and charge him with a hate crime.

On Thursday, Fox News television host Tucker Carlson attempted to come to Malkin’s defense, the two longtime friends who Vlogger and onetime AmRen speaker Paul Ramsey said talk to each other “every day.” Calling Airbnb “an aggressive agent of authoritarian social change,” Carlson predictably attempted to deflect charges of White supremacist associations by declaring Malkin, who is of Filipino decent “is not White (and it’s) kinda hard to be a White nationalist if you’re not White but that who they say she is,” which Airbnb has never said of her. He then avoided mentioning the AmRen Conference by name and instead referred to it as “a conference hosted by a group the utterly fraudulent and thoroughly corrupt Southern Poverty Law Center doesn’t like.”
