Gay Journalist Says Intolerant Liberals Drove Him to Become a Conservative

Chadwick Moore, a gay journalist who contributes to the New York Post and OUT Magazine, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday that the "paranoia" and "mean-spiritedness" of liberals drove him to become a conservative.

Moore penned an article for the Post on Saturday, in which he came out as a conservative and explained why he switched parties. Moore received backlash last September after he wrote a profile piece of Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos in OUT Magazine.

"The part that jumped out at me immediately was the fact that after doing this profile, which you described is pretty straightforward, not for Milo or against but kind of telling who he is, that one of your best friends disowned you as a friend," Carlson said.

Moore said that this is a common story, similar to how Clinton supporters often disassociated themselves with Trump supporters.

"When I even said that I voted for Hillary Clinton, so many people were like, ‘Oh you did? I just assumed you were a Trump supporter.' Why would you assume that?" Moore said. "The profile was extremely balanced and I treated him no differently than I would have treated anyone else."

Carlson asked Moore to describe how he saw the liberal community through a "new lens" after receiving widespread backlash for his Yiannopoulos profile.
