What's Happened to Michelle Malkin?

She has sold a ton of books, she started Hot Air and Twitchy and sold both to Salem Communications.
Yes. Her book royalties and her speaking engagements and media contributions have made her worth about $25 million I think. So she may miss being having the public venue she enjoyed, but she'll be fine.
 
I do not for a minute think Michelle Malkin is a white nationalist nor an anti-semite. But around the 2020 election she was too chummy and conciliatory toward some national figures who are white nationalists and anti-semites and it looked pretty bad. Patriots/Republicans can engage in the cancel culture too and Michelle was seen as a problem. She was disinvited from speaking engagements, some book signing events were cancelled, she was booted as a Fox News contributor and I haven't seen her on OAN or Newsmax either.

She hasn't been trashed but has become a pretty invisible non persona. She is young--just 53--but she is a multi-millionaire many times over via her speaking, media slots, book sales and may indeed have just decided to retire. Not everybody is cut out to stay and fight the politics of personal destruction.

Dang--as an aside--imagine 53 being counted as "young". I'm in the ballpark and in my job I'm considered ancient, which is sad. In Congress I'd have another 40 years!
