Charlie Kirk’s Lieutenant Has Second Thoughts

Blake Neff helped make stars of Kirk and Tucker Carlson. Now he’s trying to rein in what he unleashed

In June 2020, Tucker Carlson Tonight topped the cable news charts — not only as the highest rated show on television, but as the highest-rated news show ever, with over 4.3 million average viewers across the second quarter of that year. A few days later, Neff got a message from Oliver Darcy, a media reporter at CNN. Since 2013, Neff had been posting anonymously on AutoAdmit, an online forum that functioned as a kind of 4chan analog for internet-brained law students and lawyers. Writing under the pseudonym “CharlesXII,” a reference to the 18th-century Swedish warrior king, Neff had made thousands of posts on the site, several of them containing racist, sexist and homophobic jokes. (“Black doods staying inside playing Call of Duty is probably one of the biggest factors keeping crime down,” Neff wrote in a post from June of that year. Elsewhere on the forum, he curated a lengthy thread of posts mocking a female online acquaintance, whom he referred to derisively as “Azn megashrew.”)

Darcy had gotten a tip that Neff was the poster behind “CharlesXII” and planned to publish his findings. When the report appeared in early July, it came as a crushing blow to Neff, though also not as a complete shock. Neff’s identity as CharlesXII had been something of an open secret on the site since 2017, when Neff had participated in a Washington Post “Date Lab” article and dropped several inside jokes from the forum. (The article, in which Neff referred to alcohol as “poison” and confessed that “most of my hobbies allow me to escape women,” did not lead to a second date. He’s still unmarried.)

Neff told me that he doesn’t feel personally responsible for the trajectory of figures like Carlson, but he confessed to grappling, in a roundabout way, with the possibility that his maximalist position on free speech has helped foster the conditions that have allowed rank conspiracism to flourish. “I’ve reflected on this often,” he said, sipping a s’mores-flavored cold brew on a leather couch in the studio’s greenroom.
