In a trailer for “Patriot Purge,” which apparently is…

Dear Ms. Scott:
Last night, in a segment on his program dealing with voting rights and allegations of voter disenfranchisement, Tucker Carlson disgustingly gave an impassioned defense of the white supremacist “great replacement theory,” the hateful notion that the white race is in danger of being “replaced” by a rising tide of…

To the Editor:
Michelle Malkin’s hate-filled conspiracy theories about the Anti-Defamation League are so divorced from reality that it’s hard to fathom how her most recent column found its way into The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (“ADL, antifa and Koch equal a toxic anti-Trump league,” Oct. 3).

After the violent alt-right protest in Charlottesville, Va., a year ago, Mr. Jones announced that he…

Re “White House Tries to Link Immigration and Terrorism” (news article, Jan. 17):
The Trump administration’s report trying to link foreign-born immigrants to terrorism muddies the waters by giving an incomplete picture of the sources of extremist violence in…
