Mises Caucus
In August 2017, the Unite the Right rally occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia to protest the proposed removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee. Jeff Deist, the President of the Mises Institute, supported the protest. The LNC heavily scrutinized the Mises Institute as a result, accusing Deist of being a White nationalist. The caucus is widely described as white nationalist. The struggle that followed between self-described classical liberals and self-described paleolibertarians resulted in Michael Heise and the latter founding the Mises Caucus.
