If Evan McMullin thought he could get away with amplifying Max Boot's repugnant hit job on National Review, he thought wrong

As Twitchy told you yesterday, Max Boot decided that the best way to respond to being rightfully called out at National Review for his dishonest hackery was not to own up to his dishonest hackery, but rather to double down on it:

I grew up reading @NRO. Its founder, William F. Buckley Jr., was a childhood hero. So it was a shock on Monday afternoon to see myself attacked in National Review as, essentially, a traitor to the white race. My @PostOpinions column: https://t.co/Nylc6u9cga

Evan McMullin, who represented himself as a true conservative alternative to Donald Trump, did what he could to amplify Boot’s ridiculousness today:

.@MaxBoot: "With its long-standing opposition to immigration…National Review has found common ground with the far right. Like many conservative media outlets, it has flirted with the “great replacement” theory espoused by the El Paso gunman." https://t.co/tmnJnPv8Oz

It’s not surprising that Evan McMullin is firmly on Team Max Boot. But it is a little shocking that he thought he could get away with it:

The National Review office was literally the first stop of your 2016 “campaign.” I was there. https://t.co/USYkFUF8pS

Upon learning that a write-in vote for @tedcruz would have been completely discarded, I cast a protest vote for you instead.

… I should have voted for Ted and let the state disenfranchise me. You are utterly unworthy of my support, but you have earned my contempt.
