'The Anti-Greta' climate activist Naomi Seibt says she's 'absolutely' a fan of far-right podcaster Stefan Molyneux
Naomi Seibt, the 19-year-old German self-described "climate realist," said at a CPAC panel Friday that she was inspired into activism and YouTubing in part by watching far-right personality Stefan Molyneux. Molyneux in 2018 said that he had once been skeptical of "white nationalism," but a trip to Poland showed him he "could have peaceful, free, easy, civilized and safe discussions in what is essentially an all-white country." Insider asked Seibt if she was aware of this statement, and if so, was she still a fan of Molyneux's. Seibt said: "I am still a fan of Molyneux's, absolutely." She added that the statement taken out of context sounds "racist" to some, but that "he's just describing his experience in Western countries." Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories .
