HATEMONGERS
David Horowitz, the radical leftist turned fire-breathing Trumpist who mentored Stephen Miller, also found an admirer in anti-immigration pioneer and white supremacist John Tanton.
Jean Guerrero is an investigative journalist and author of Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump and the White Nationalist Agenda, forthcoming from William Morrow (HarperCollins) on August 11. Her first book, Crux: A Cross-Border Memoir, won the PEN/FUSION Emerging Writers Prize. Her writing is featured in The Best American Essays 2019. She contributes to NPR, the PBS NewsHour and more, and won an Emmy Award. Months before Trump’s family separations captured national attention, her reporting on the practice was cited by members of Congress in a concerned letter to DHS. She started her career at the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires as a foreign correspondent in Mexico and Central America. She was 2019 “Journalist of the Year” (Society for Professional Journalists, San Diego) and the California Chicano News Media Association named her one of the region's most influential Latina journalists.
