Fuentes Threatens to Wage Guerilla War Against the Trump Campaign
[Kyle Mantyla | August 14, 2024 RWW
Nick Fuentes, a Hitler–loving racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobicChristian nationalist fascist, has grown increasingly disenchanted with former President Donald Trump since the two dined together at Mar-a-Lago in 2022.
Fuentes was outraged by Trump’s decision to tap Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate because Vance’s wife is Indian and Hindu, complaining that Vance is someone who clearly “doesn’t value his racial identity” since he was willing to marry somebody “that far outside your race who isn’t even a Christian.”
Following the completion of the Republican National Convention last month, Fuentes was fed up, declaring that he would not vote for Trump and that “you could not bribe me to care” about the election. But all of that changed last week, when Fuentes reversed course and decided that instead of sitting out this election, he was going to actively work to undermine the Trump campaign in retaliation for allegedly abandoning the issues that Fuentes cares about.
Last night, Fuentes used his program to lay out his demands for the Trump campaign to meet if it hopes to prevent Fuentes and his followers from “formally declaring war”: promising a complete ban on all immigration, vowing to avoid going to war with Iran, and firing campaign advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles.
Should these conditions fail to be met, Fuentes vowed to deploy activists to swing states to encourage Republicans to “refrain from voting.”
“We will be watching very closely the rhetoric on immigration, on foreign wars, and we will be monitoring the personnel decisions that are being made,” Fuentes said. “Depending on how things proceed from now until the election on those issues, we may undertake a series of menu options to escalate or deescalate our campaign.”
The first part of Fuentes’ war will largely involve online activism but, he said, “it will only escalate and expand from there.”
“Depending on how things go in the coming weeks, we will begin deploying on the ground in the state of Michigan,” Fuentes announced. “If things don’t get better, we will put boots on the ground in the state of Michigan. We will engage in other guerrilla political tactics in Michigan, which I will not disclose at this time. Michigan is a must-win, extremely competitive state with a very large Muslim population which is deeply interested in the current policy regarding Iran, Israel and Palestine.”
“If things don’t improve after that, we will escalate the Groyper war into every swing state in the country, including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona,” he continued. “And we will persist in all of these actions—digital, e-mail, other traditional and non-traditional tactics—in every swing state until the election, which includes telling people to sit this one out and refrain from voting unless or until we see a real change in policy regarding immigration, foreign war, and a change in posture towards the loyal and disloyal personnel that operate inside the Trump movement.”
For what it is worth, Fuentes has a history of impulsively announcing ambitious campaigns that never materialize, so whether he actually has the capacity, resources, and motivation to follow through on these threats remains to be seen.

Fox News' Tucker Carlson is still defending his support of Russian President Vladamir Putin while dismissing the importance of Ukraine.However, key Republican voters appear to have a different opinion on the critical topic.
On Monday, February 21, the conservative political commentator fired back at Democratic critics during his segment of "Tucker Carlson Tonight." In response to the disapproval of his desire to speak with Putin, he said:
“We won’t be quiet, and not just because this is a news organization,” Carlson said on Monday evening. “Because we’re Americans, and we can talk to anyone we want. We can have any opinion we feel like having. That is not treason, it is not un-American. It’s the whole point of America."
Despite Carlson's claims, Politico is shedding light on a key group of Republican voters who strongly disagree with Carlson. Per Politico, Andrew Futey, who serves as the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America president and an active voice in Republican politics, explained the perspective of Ohio Ukrainians.
"Ohio’s Ukrainians are well-organized and politically active — a Midwestern constituency with a strong working-class element that actually votes in part on foreign policy, and punches above well above its size in their state’s politics, according to many Ukrainian Americans I recently spoke to in Ohio. There aren’t specific polls on Ukrainian voting patterns in the state, but traditionally these voters made up a “Reagan Republican-like community,” says Andrew Futey, president of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, a nonpartisan national nonprofit that advocates for Ukrainian-American interests."
Futey also noted that “isolationismabsolutely, absolutely is not something the community grasps or will ever support."
Andy Fedynsky — the director of the Ukrainian Museum-Archives in Cleveland Ohio — also argues otherwise. Speaking to Politico, he refuted Carlson's arguments explaining why Ukraine is far more important than the conservative commentator realizes.
“Most of the history of Ukraine is never a history of taking someone else’s land, but rather defending its own,” said Bohdan Danylo, the bishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, St. Josaphat Cathedral.
“If we, as a birthplace of democracy — and this democracy that is still standing, United States of America … if we think that today those principles are not defended by peace-loving and freedom-loving Ukrainians, we are mistaken,” Danylo also said.
Lubomir Zhybak, a Ukrainian pastor in Youngstown,Ohio had also sounded off about Carlson's rhetoric. In a letter he reportedly sent via Fox News' "Viewer Feedback" platform, he wrote, "The reason why I am writing to you is to express my disdain at your seemingly biased anti-Ukrainian statements that you recently made on your shows regarding the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia. I think your comments not only offend us, Ukrainians, but also the millions of Ukrainian people who have been murdered by the Soviets and Russians throughout the course of history."
As a critical battleground state for the Republican Party, candidates have to consider how the Ukrainian controversy could impact the midterm elections for the party. Although Carlson is a dominant voice among conservatives, he could be doing more harm than good with his relentless dismissal of Ukraine.
