D.C. McAllister Fired By ‘The Federalist’ Following Late-Night Homophobic Tweetstorm
Days after conservative columnist D.C. McAllister became the subject of an instant online meme after The View’s Meghan McCain clapped back at her, McCain’s husband made it known that McAllister no longer worked for his company anymore.
McAllister’s departure, however, wasn’t due to her McCain criticism, but related to her homophobic attacks on a gay journalist.
Just to recap, McAllister tweeted Friday night that she attempted to talk to her husband during the North Carolina NCAA tournament game, only for her husband to tell her: “Woman, you know better than this. The game is on.”
“He’s right. I slipped,” she added, noting that after the commercial, she fetched him a beer and he gave her a deep kiss, informing women that the lesson was all about “patience and timing.”
On Saturday, journalist Yashar Ali commented on the tweet, saying ‘Oh Denise” with a sad face emoji:
“He’s right. I slipped.”

This prompted McAllister to unleash a series of increasingly offensive and disgusting tweets about Yashar, who is gay.
A gay man commenting on a heterosexual relationship is just. Sad. Pathetic really.

After saying it was “sad” and “pathetic” that a gay man was “commenting on a heterosexual relationship,” the far-right writer took it to another level.
I stand up for men being free in their masculinity. Respected for their masculinity. I’m attacked by gay men and their female sidekicks. What do you men think about this? We live in a society that wants to rob men of their manhood. Are you going to sit by and take it? Or fight?

I think @yashar has a crush on me. Maybe I’m making him doubt his love of penis. 😘
— DC McAllister (@McAllisterDen) March 31, 2019
Oh so sad. @yashar is lost. He doesn’t know his purpose as a man. He doesn’t know his purpose as a human being. He doesn’t know his purpose as an Individual. So he wallows and tries to find himself in another man’s asshole. Sad.

“I think @yashar has a crush on me,” she said in one tweet. “Maybe I’m making him doubt his love of penis.”
In another tweet, she added: “He doesn’t know his purpose as a man. He doesn’t know his purpose as a human being. He doesn’t know his purpose as an Individual. So he wallows and tries to find himself in another man’s asshole. Sad.”
That series of tweets caused widespread outrage across the ideological spectrum, causing McAllister to lash out at her conservative critics.

Consider this @secupp A gay man criticizes my relationship with my husband in which I honor his masculine space, but no one criticizes the gay guy’s bigotry toward me. I counter his lack of self awareness in the context of his own sexuality yet I’m the bigot. Please explain.

McAllister claimed that she quit as a contributor for The Daily Wire after editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro contacted her and told her she was “no longer welcome.”
The minute Ben Shapiro DMed me that I was no longer welcome bc I had criticized a gay man the way I did despite the times I’ve been threatened for standing for conservative principles, the right of women to vote contrary to the feminist herd, and support of masculinity, I quit.

She also played the victim in the wake of the criticism she received.
I have defensed masculinity & have been ridiculed for it. Maligned for loving my husband as a man & celebrating my role as a woman. Yet I’m the devil in the eyes of many. I criticize a gay man who dares to mock my relationship. And I’m the devil. You do see how fucked up this is

“I have defensed (sic) masculinity & have been ridiculed for it,” she wrote. “Maligned for loving my husband as a man & celebrating my role as a woman. Yet I’m the devil in the eyes of many. I criticize a gay man who dares to mock my relationship. And I’m the devil. You do see how fucked up this is.”
Eventually, Yashar Ali reacted on Twitter, stating that he’s “always been proud of who I am” and “wouldn’t change who I am for the world.”
I was bullied for being Iranian as a kid. But I never felt ashamed of my ethnicity. I came out on 8/17/2001 & while it hasn’t always been easy, I have always been proud of who I am. I’m Iranian, gay, and Catholic. Perhaps an odd combo, but I wouldn’t change who I am for the world pic.twitter.com/xGPzoDzM13

The founder and publisher of The Federalist, Ben Domenech, eventually weighed in, noting that McAllister no longer worked at The Federalist.
In response to your many inquiries, we’ve spoken and Denise McAllister will not be writing for us at The Federalist any more.

McAllister, meanwhile, made sure to get the last word in.
I’m thankful for everyone @FDRLST and my best to them in fighting the good fight.
— DC McAllister (@McAllisterDen) March 31, 2019
I was fired when I criticized a gay man who mocked my heterosexual relationship. Yet no one defended me when I stood for masculinity and God’s design for sexuality despite outlets saying they represent Judeo-Christian values about sexuality, identity and purpose. What is truth?
— DC McAllister (@McAllisterDen) March 31, 2019
“I was fired when I criticized a gay man who mocked my heterosexual relationship,” she tweeted. “Yet no one defended me when I stood for masculinity and God’s design for sexuality despite outlets saying they represent Judeo-Christian values about sexuality, identity and purpose. What is truth?”
McAllister also immediately took down her Twitter bio, which besides listing The Federalist, also noted she worked for conservative outlets The Daily Wire and PJ Media.
