Fox’s Pete Hegseth interviewed a “protester” at an event organized by the anti-Muslim group ACT for America without disclosing that he was actually talking to Gavin McInnes, who has frequently appeared on Fox News in the past and who is a player in the “alt-right” ecosystem. McInnes, who co-founded Vice but left the company in 2008, reportedly because he was considered a liability, has appeared on Fox several times saying racist, anti-immigrant, and sexist things. He also has a long track record of anti-Muslim statements. From the June 12 edition of Fox and Friends:
