The Washington Post has removed two op-eds written by Scott Greer, a writer who previously contributed to Richard Spencer's publication, Radix Journal. Politico reported that the Post republished one of Greer's articles, titled "Mike Pence’s ‘progressive GOP’ delusion," which was removed after inquiries were made about it. A spokesperson for the Post referenced the independence of the opinion section from the newspaper's journalism but did not provide further comments. Greer had previously faced criticism for expressing racist and antisemitic views in his writings for Radix Journal under the pseudonym "Michael McGregor." He stated that he ceased writing for Radix in 2015 and has since evolved his views, asserting that the opinions he expressed in the past have become more mainstream within conservatism. Following the removal of his articles, Greer commented on social media about the decision, suggesting it was influenced by a backlash from critics.
