I see Razib Khan was attacking me some more after the Abdel Abdellaoui incident, but he can't be bothered to spell my name right. Demonstrating, no doubt, the same amount of care he puts into his scholarship, which is why, instead of being a real scientist even though Ron Unz funded his education, he's a full-time far-right political operative with a focus on promoting race pseudoscience.
As it turns out, there are lots and lots of "Nancy Mclaren"s.
Khan, along with Richard Hanania, was recently mentioned in an article about Trump supporters having second thoughts. You have to be a real genius to take this long to recognize Trump's incompetence and evil.
Trump supporters ranging from mega-investor Bill Ackman to anti-vax influencer Alex Berenson have expressed remorse about their decision to support Trump in November. Some have been harsh: Razib Khan, a geneticist and influential science writer on the right, called himself “r*****ed and wrong” for discounting the risk that Trump would actually do the tariffs.
Richard Hanania, a pundit prominent enough to occasionally swap DMs with Elon Musk on X, has gone the furthest. Last week, he published a lengthy Substack essay explaining why he now believes his reasons for voting Trump were mistaken.

Khan was briefly hired to write on the New York Times op-ed page before being dismissed over previous publications in far-right websites. He believes that race is a biological reality, and places this belief at the center of his political identity. “I’m not a lib. Never have been, never will be unless they accept views on race/sex that they’ll never accept,” Khan writes.
These are things about Razib Khan that everybody has known for over a decade. So it's really odd that during the past decade Kathryn Paige Harden and Abdel Abdellaoui have been such friendly colleagues of Khan while proclaiming their opposition to racism.
