Leaked Texts from former Mises.org VP lambast Diest
In early 2021, text transcripts were leaked involving Jeffrey Tucker, who worked from 1997 to 2011 as editorial vice president and editor for the institute's website, Mises.org. In these transcripts, Tucker claims:
- The Mises Institute is an "onboarding institution for the alt-right"
- "These people [meaning Deist and others] have dabbled in very bad shit for a long time, but mostly in private"
- "I know exactly why Deist is prez... and it is not about libertarianism"
