Here’s a sentence you won’t see every day on this page: I agree with Matt Walsh and Mike Cernovich.

Walsh and Cernovich are populist “influencers,” each with more than a million followers on The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter. Walsh has north of 2 million, in fact, and the number of subscribers to his Daily Wire podcast has more than doubled in the past year. When he and Cernovich speak, lots of MAGA voters listen.

Walsh is worried about Israel’s conflict with Hamas being viewed as a “holy war” that might eventually entangle the United States.

Nick Catoggio is a staff writer at The Dispatch and is based in Texas. Prior to joining the company in 2022, he spent 16 years gradually alienating a populist readership at Hot Air. When Nick isn’t busy writing a daily newsletter on politics, he’s … probably planning the next day’s newsletter.
