rove makes news — but not for his employer
Rove’s disappearance from Fox's weekday airwaves overlaps with his increasingly strident criticism of extremist elements in the GOP, which has drawn attention from other news outlets.
Two days after Rove’s most recent Fox weekday appearance, The Wall Street Journal published a column in which the veteran Republican strategist and former top aide to President George W. Bush called out the “raw, uncut bigotry” of Texas GOP candidate Bo French, vowed to “vote for only the second Democrat in my life” rather than support French’s campaign, and warned that “the GOP has a growing number of Bo Frenches—and not only in Texas.”
Rove doubled down during a September 26 appearance at the Texas Tribune Festival and drew more headlines for his lament that the Republican Party is “being infiltrated by people like Bo French” and the white nationalist streamer Nick Fuentes, who he described as “a Nazi.”
No one needs to hear that message more than the audience at Fox, whose hosts played an essential role in mainstreaming and sanitizing the GOP’s far-right elements. But Rove’s denunciations of the extremists he says are taking over the party have been mentioned just once on Fox, according to a Media Matters review.

Podcast Wars: Benny Johnson on the “traitors,” Nick Fuentes on the “freaks,” and Ben Shapiro tells us who “dips his head in lard every morning”
This week's right-wing podcaster infighting
Written by Noah VanDowe & Ben Van Bloem
Published 09/11/26
Welcome to Media Matters’ regular debrief on the Podcast Wars. This week, online hosts in the right-wing podcast universe continued to launch vicious personal attacks at their contemporaries, with Tucker Carlson taking heat from a wide range of commentators on the right.
Tucker Carlson vs. ... everyone
Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro criticized JD Vance for refusing to condemn Tucker Carlson over ties to antisemitism, warning the vice president that their relationship “is going to come along with a political and yes, a moral cost.” Shapiro also mocked Carlson’s recent interview with artist Jeff Elofson in which the two decried the existence of algebra, which Elofson called “fake math with letters” used by “good little goy slaves.” Shapiro commented, “Every day, new levels of retardation are reached.”
Carlson attacked Shapiro during his interview with Elofson last week, declaring, “The meritocracy as practiced in the United States is not a meritocracy. … That's how you wind up with a system where Ben Shapiro gets into Harvard.” Shapiro responded, “It’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma, and it will only be uncovered by a man who dips his head in lard every morning.”
Right-wing host Tim Pool responded to Carlson’s interview with Elofson, asking, “I wonder if the goal of Tucker is to demoralize. And I mean that seriously.”
The influencers who are “too stupid” for Nick Fuentes
White nationalist Nick Fuentes took swipes at Carlson and his “idiot brother” Buckley, calling them “scum.” He encouraged his viewers to “decouple” from the “retard right,” condemning “these freaks, the Ian Carrolls, the Jake Shields, the Dan Bilzerians, the Candace Owens, the Tucker Carlsons. ... They're too weird, they're too stupid, they're not even right-wing.”
Laura Loomer takes a victory lap on Milo Yiannopoulos' deportation
After taking credit for the arrest and deportation of right-wing influencer Milo Yiannopoulos in August, right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer launched into an invective-filled rant last Friday calling him a “complete tweaker” and a “loudmouth, homosexual freak of nature.” Loomer then slammed “Mr. America First, Tucker Qatarlson” for speaking with Yiannopoulos — an “illegal alien amplifying divisive rhetoric against the president” — on his podcast.
Benny Johnson on Shapiro: “We should never forget these traitors”
Right-wing YouTuber Benny Johnson declared he would “never forgive Ben Shapiro” for defending Jimmy Kimmel from pressure by the Federal Communications Commission last year. “We had people that betrayed us, traitors on our own side that betrayed us on behalf of Jimmy Kimmel,” Johnson complained, adding, “We should never forget these traitors, and we should come up with an actual — a list — a full list of exactly who these people are.”

Nicholas Joseph Fuentes (born August 18, 1998) is an American far-right political commentator, live streamer, and influencer. He hosts the livestreamed show America First, where he has advanced white nationalism and white supremacy, [7] Christian nationalism, [6] the incel subculture, [8] misogyny, anti-LGBTQ views, and antisemitism including Holocaust denial. His supporters are known as ...
xian nat
...
Fuentes identifies with traditionalist Catholicism,[14][13]^ and has also described himself as an integralist and Christian nationalist. In a 2019 episode of America First, he praised the idea of "Catholic fascism", expressing support for authoritarian Catholic movements and referencing figures such as Francisco Franco, Benito Mussolini, and Oswald Mosley.[174]^ He has called for a Catholic theocracy modeled on far-right movements in countries such as Argentina and Hungary.[175]^
Fuentes has said, "You're either a Catholic or you're with the Jews",[176]^ and has advocated for Catholic control of government and media. He has referred to the US government as "Jewish-occupied" and has expressed support for autocracy, Catholic monarchy or dictatorship, just war theory, the Crusades, and the Inquisition, while opposing forms of democracy.[177][178][179][180][181]^ He also supports and has praised the leadership of dictators, such as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.[174][179][49]^
Fuentes has described Islam as "a barbaric ideology" and argued in 2017 that the First Amendment "was not written for Muslims or immigrants".[182][18]^ He has also expressed support for the Taliban's governance in Afghanistan.[183]^
Antisemitism
Sources widely describe Fuentes as holding antisemitic views[184][185]^ and as a Holocaust denier.[92][186][184][185]^ He has praised Adolf Hitler[171][187]^ and stated on America First, "Hitler is awesome. Hitler was right. And the Holocaust didn't happen."[188]^ In his December 2025 interview with Piers Morgan, he referred to Hitler as "fucking cool", and mocked a relative of a Holocaust survivor.[58]^
Fuentes has promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and has called for a "holy war" against Jews.[184][189]^ He has claimed that "Jews stood in the way" of overturning Roe v. Wade, and argued that the *Dobbs* decision meant that "banning gay marriage... banning sodomy... [and] banning contraceptives" were again possible, which he described as "Taliban rule in America, in a good way".[190][191]^
At AFPAC 2022, he delivered remarks described as "giggling praise" on Hitler.[125]^ In 2025, Fuentes said his antisemitic views had moderated with age, though The New York Times reported that his recent statements contradicted that claim.[68]^
Foreign policy
Isolationism
Fuentes has described his foreign-policy outlook as broadly isolationist, though he has made exceptions regarding US influence in the Western Hemisphere. In October 2025, he argued that the US should maintain dominance in Latin America, stating that the country is engaged in "great power competition" with China and Russia. He expressed support for threatening Venezuela over its natural resources, saying the US should "take their stuff", while clarifying that he did not support regime change.[192]^
Russia and Ukraine
Fuentes has expressed support for several authoritarian governments and movements.[193][194][194]^ On March 10, 2022, he praised Vladimir Putin during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, referring to him as "czar Putin" and claiming the invasion was intended to "liberate Ukraine" from US influence, calling the US an "evil empire".[195][123][196][28]^ At the 2022 AFPAC event, it was marked by support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Jared Holt, a domestic extremism researcher, stated that this support was rooted in the alleged belief that Western influence had contributed to cultural decline in Ukraine.[122]^
During his remarks at the event, Fuentes referenced media comparisons between Putin and Adolf Hitler, saying these comparisons were not inherently negative.[125]^ He further encouraged applause for Russia, prompting audience chants of "Putin! Putin!"[122]^ Fuentes led a prayer for Russian forces and dismissed statements by US officials, including Kamala Harris, regarding alleged Russian war crimes. He also prompted false claims about casualty numbers and Russia's motivations for the conflict.[123]^
China and Taiwan
Fuentes has voiced support for Chinese unification with Taiwan. In 2022, he stated that he wanted China to "take back Taiwan" and Russia to "take back Ukraine", framing these positions as a desire to see the US "humiliated".[195]^
Taliban and Afghanistan
Fuentes has praised aspects of Taliban governance, particularly in regard to its conservative religious framework.[197][183][198][199][191]^ Although he has been described by observers as holding negative views toward Muslims, he has said that his political ideal is a form of "Catholic Taliban rule" in the US.[171]^
Following the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, he wrote on Telegram that the group represented a "conservative, religious force", while the US was "godless and liberal", adding that the collapse of the US-backed Afghan government was "a positive development".[199]^
Israel
Fuentes is a vocal critic of Israel and US support for the country.[200]^ He has argued that the US should withdraw its backing, stating, "We're European, they're ethnically Jewish."[201]^ He is a critic of Christian Zionism.[41]^
After the October 7 attacks, he claimed that the events were staged to justify broader military action by Israel to "destroy Iran and its proxies".[202]^

NICK FUENTES (HOST): There's an alternate timeline by the way, where Candace Owens doesn't exist and Tucker Carlson doesn't exist. And a week after Charlie Kirk is assassinated, we round up antifa, we round up the DSA, we round up the far-left agitators and activists and foot soldiers and donors, and we make it so that they are never able to hold power over us ever again. There's an alternate timeline where that happens.
And by the way, there's a ripple effect. Think about the timeline. Charlie Kirk killed on September 10. Few months later, we discover the fraud in Somalia about the $8 billion these Somalis are stealing from us. We uncover the extent of this. We send Customs and Border Patrol and ICE into the city to clean it up. Who shut it down? When ICE came to Minneapolis to prevent these foreigners from stealing from us -- And this is in The New York Times, they said Somalians stole $9 billion from Minnesota taxpayers.
And when the Minnesota attorney general found out about it, the Somalian community said, “If you try to press charges, we will accuse you of racism. We'll bring the DOJ down on you. We'll accuse you of racism and say you're discriminating against us.”
This is the contempt with which these fucking people hold us in -- the left and their foreign-born allies. We send in ICE to clean this up and who stood in the way and prevented ICE from deporting these people or shutting down the fraud? It was the same radical left that killed Charlie Kirk, that was chasing ICE through the streets in cars, that was punching them and trying to attack them as they apprehended illegal immigrants. And that's ultimately why we don't have mass deportations.
Think of the ripple effect. If we had held the left accountable in September 2025, we could have deported the Somalis in December 2025. We could carry out mass deportations without ICE agents having covered their face out of fear of retaliation. We could deport illegals without ICE agents having to fear being sniped at or blown up at ICE facilities.

NICK FUENTES (HOST): I think it's hilarious that he's begging for a debate. Isn't that -- Isn't it so funny? The entire beef is because Sneako would not collaborate with me when I asked him to. When we were friends, he wouldn't do that for me, even as a favor. I was under attack by everybody under false pretenses. Even asking him for a favor, saying, “Listen, man, I just need some help right now. Do you -- Can you do this collab with me as a friend, as a favor?” He refused to do it, wouldn't do it.
Now he wants to do the debate. And what changed?
Might it have something to do with the fact that I just got 4.5 million fucking views on my interview with Hunter Biden? Now he wants to do a debate. Isn't that so telling? So let's see. Now that I've done the biggest collab of the year, now he's begging me for the debate. See when we were friends, when we were best buddies and I was in your city and I'm asking you for a favor, he don't want to do the -- We could have done that debate in New York back then. We could have done it back then. We were having the same conversation. We were having the same argument back then. Wouldn't do it for me as a buddy. Wouldn't do it for me as a favor for a friend.
Now that we're enemies and I've done another generational run-level interview, literally viewmogging the vice president, 4.5 million views. Oh, now he's begging me for the collab. Now he's literally begging me. I could say, “Sneako, drop to your knees.” He’d dropped to his knees and beg me for the collab. Go ahead. Beg me for the collab. I viewmog you, you get no views. For you, 5,000 viewers is a big day. For you, 5,000 botted viewers on Kick is a big day. You are not worth it to me. You are nothing. Drop to your knees and beg. Maybe I'll consider it. Crazy. Crazy.

FISHBACK GROYPERS?
an tc 7 26
A new movement, “masculinism”, is uniting the right behind extreme anti-feminist views, chiefly in the United States. It promotes the dominant role of men in society, including the idea that men should dominate women.
The movement is led by figures such as self-declared misogynist Andrew Tate (named by the New Yorker as a “singularly influential proponent of masculinism”), who has just been arrested in the US, with his brother Tristan. UK authorities have just announced new charges against the brothers related to allegations of rape and sex trafficking – adding to previous charges in the United Kingdom, and a criminal investigation underway in Romania.
Other masculinists include male supremacist podcaster Myron Gaines, white supremacist influencer Nick Fuentes and preacher Doug Wilson, leader of a network of 170 churches whose followers include US war secretary Pete Hegseth.
The term “masculinist” was originally coined in the late 1800s or early 1900s to refer to defenders of male domination. It was then adopted by some in the men’s rights movement in the 1980s as part of a reaction against second-wave feminism. Now, it is being widely used by manosphere and far-right figures and groups.
Masculinism is an extreme form of a men’s rights movement, which believes men should have more rights, power and opportunities than women.
Extreme ideas becoming more common
Andrew Tate has lived out these ideals in life – building an “empire of abuse” based on systemically exploiting women (whom he called “assets” he could “monetize”) for his webcam business.
Wilson was a guest pastor at the Pentagon’s monthly Christian prayer service in February, with Hegseth praying alongside him. He would like to remove women’s right to vote, and has said: “Men are created to exercise dominion over the earth; they are fitted to be husbandman.” And:
the sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party. A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts.
These extreme ideas are becoming more common among leading figures within the US right.
“Far from being a fringe belief system, masculinism has become the single most important force uniting the American right, bringing together an unlikely constellation of pastors, posters, senators, preachers, influencers, podcasters, and fanboys,” argued feminist journalist Helen Lewis in a popular Atlantic article.
While right-wing leaders may disagree on Israel, or the role of big tech, they are united in their belief that feminism has destroyed the world, she says.
Though these ideas are also evident in Australia, they are so far confined to the fringes. Far-right commentary website XYZ, for example, whose editor-in-chief David Hiscox once said his goal was “redpilling white men about race” to advocate for the establishment of a “white” ethno-state, includes articles titled “Women’s and girl’s sports need to be banned”, “The woman problem” and “The decay of man”, all promoting masculinist sentiments.
At the same time, a recent study showed 25–30% of Australian boys aged 13–17 agreed with misogynistic attitudes, with 28% supporting “violence to resist feminism”. This mirrors a growing global sentiment that “feminism has gone too far” or that men are now discriminated against.
Extreme men’s rights
A core tenet of feminism has been to argue against simplistic gender roles, stating women can be leaders and men can be carers. Modern masculinist movements are a backlash against these arguments. They argue feminism has undermined the inherent differences between men and women, creating an imbalance that has destroyed modern society.
Masculinists focus in particular on the role of women in the public sphere, arguing women are too irrational and emotional to be involved in politics.
Initial versions argued feminism had gone “too far” and that men’s issues were being ignored. While men’s rights movements had an underlying current of belief in male dominance, they often – at least officially – claimed they were only about achieving equality.
Today’s masculinist movements officially remove the mask. They argue not just that men’s issues have been ignored, but that we need to return to a world of full male dominance.
They argue we should strip women’s right to vote, that women should return to a “traditional” life as homemakers, and that husbands should be able to control their wives’ lives – including their weight, spending habits, television viewing, and when they have sex.
These ideas stem from a belief in fundamental differences between men and women. Dominant values in the West (and some other parts of the world) promote traits characterised as “masculine” (logic, reason, conflict, individualism) and disparage traits considered to be “feminine” (emotion, collectivity, cooperation, being other-oriented).
Valuing one set of traits over another promotes the idea that men are more suited to being leaders in politics and business, while women are more suited to life in the home. Much of this is driven by the needs of capitalism, which has privatised domestic care.
As families have increasingly become less able to survive on one salary alone, this model has become untenable for many, with women increasingly entering the workforce over the past 50 years. Even so, these gendered roles have largely stayed the same.
Masculinists trace what they perceive as a collapse in good governance to women’s involvement. They argue not only that women shouldn’t be political leaders, but that they shouldn’t have the right to vote. Some, such as Wilson, advocate returning to a “family vote”, where male heads of households get to decide on the vote for the entire house.
Masculinists want men to have control in the family too. They promote the return to men being the heads of households and women being subservient homemakers and child-rearers. This aligns with white supremacist views.
Some masculinists believe that in pursuing careers, white women stopped having enough babies, resulting in a “replacement” of white people with people of colour.
Uniting the far right
Masculinism is an idea – and a movement – we need to take seriously. There are no serious moves to abolish suffrage, ban women from politics, or legally force them back into the home – yet. But these ideas are becoming increasingly mainstream in the US, as Wilson’s association with the upper echelons of the US government shows.
“Bit by bit we start to break down these walls … and then one day, we become the mainstream,” said Fuentes in a 2019 livestream, outlining his own strategy.
Despite the serious allegations he has faced, Andrew Tate and his ideas have received widespread political support, including allegations the Trump White House intervened in his case in Romania to have a travel ban lifted. (The White House denies backing the Tates in this way.) It is unclear what impact the Tate brothers’ weekend arrest will have on the support they receive.
Australia has yet to go as far as the US, with no mainstream leaders espousing views as extreme as the Tates or Wilson in the US. However, One Nation has increasingly adopted men’s rights and anti-feminist views, evidenced by Pauline Hanson’s recent attack on paid parental leave. Anti-feminist sentiment is also growing in the country, and Andrew Tate himself has become a very popular (albeit contested) figure here.
Feminists and anti far-right groups continue to resist this ideology – through the #metoo movement, for example, and in ongoing fights for abortion rights, increased pay for women, rights for trans people, and so much more.
However, the role of misogyny and masculinist thinking is still often ignored by those studying and fighting against far-right organisations – particularly security agencies, but also many mainstream researchers. Misogyny is often seen as a “lesser” extremism, ignoring the real violence this ideology creates.
Masculinism as a movement, however, is gaining steam. We must tackle it, both to stop the epidemic of violence against women and to ensure we don’t lose the gains feminism has made.

“President mass surveillance”: Right-leaning media are calling out JD Vance’s ties to Palantir
Amid an emerging divide over mass surveillance, some right-leaning figures are openly uncomfortable with the Trump administration's close links to Palantir
Written by Noah VanDowe & Ben Van Bloem
Published 07/02/26
As the Trump administration expands its use of the tech company Palantir across multiple agencies and departments within the federal government, some right-leaning media figures are expressing anger and fear about a “surveillance state,” placing a particular focus on Vice President JD Vance’s close ties to the Silicon Valley data management company.
Warning of a future “President Palantir,” these right-leaning commentators have slammed Vance as a “pawn” of “the ultimate deep staters” like Palantir co-founders Peter Thiel and Alex Karp. They have also suggested that the goal of such tech companies is to make it so Americans cannot “live or do anything that feels human.” Other conservative figures have dismissed these concerns, arguing they will cause America to “lose” the artificial intelligence race to China.
Vance has deep ties to Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel, whose company the Trump administration tapped for administrative data collection
Palantir makes software that searches through and organizes large datasets — and as a U.S. government contractor, that could include sensitive information about every American.Wired notes, “The software firm's work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the US Department of Defense, and the Israeli military has sparked numerous protests in multiple countries.” Wired, [8/11/25; Inc., 11/3/25]
Trump chose Palantir to help “share data across agencies,” creating the possibility of a “master list of personal information on Americans that could give him untold surveillance power.” The apparent goal of the administration is to have Palantir compile a merged database that would include — but not be limited to — a person’s student debt, wages, bank account number, biometric data, and disability status. That information is currently siloed in different agencies, and experts warn that a merged database could be used by government actors to target political enemies, dissidents, and marginalized communities. The New York Times, [5/30/25, 4/9/25; The Guardian, 6/30/25]
Palantir was co-founded by Peter Thiel, who hired Vance to his investment firm in 2017 and donated $15 million to a super PAC supporting the future vice president’s 2022 Ohio Senate campaign.As reported by CBS, “In 2019 Vance moved back to his native Ohio, where he started his own venture capitalist firm, heavily backed by Thiel and other elite tech investors. By then he was flirting with a potential run for elective office, and Thiel was encouraging him. … Thiel brought Vance to his very first meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in February 2021, according to the New York Times.” CBS News, [7/16/24; Mother Jones, 7/23/25]
As the Trump administration’s ties with Palantir deepened last year, right-wing figures and podcasters lashed out, suggesting the company is “spying on us” and serves as “the backbone infrastructure of the Mark of the Beast.” War Room host and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon called Palantir “the villain in the AI” space, while former Fox host Tucker Carlson warned that “the technology, not just Palantir but all the emerging technology … it could be used to enslave the population really easily.” Media Matters, [11/10/25]
## Right-leaning figures are lashing out against Palantir’s political activities and potential role in “state surveillance”
OnThe Alex Jones Show, former Trump official Joe Kent suggested Palantir could be “waiting in the wings” to “drop in some kind of state surveillance.” Host Harrison Smith asked whether it is “dangerous to have Palantir, this, you know, AI technology sort of insinuating itself into ICE and the warfighting capabilities — are you suspicious of how this may be used in the future when another administration comes in, that we’re maybe building a very powerful, tyrannical technology?” Kent responded, “I am, and I feel that way about AI in general. And giving that central node, whether it's Palantir or somebody else, to the federal government, it's scary. I mean, it’s very dangerous.” Infowars, *The Alex Jones Show*, [3/30/26]
Podcaster Joe Rogan on Palantir calling for universal national military service: “Why the fuck would a tech company be saying that? ... How about fuck you, you go.” Rogan continued, “None of these tech dorks that are running these companies, they're not doing it. Like, what are you talking about? Throwing meat into the machine, throwing people's children into these unnecessary wars. Fuck you.” Fortune, [4/20/26; YouTube, The Joe Rogan Experience, 5/14/26]
On Stew Peters’ podcast, conspiracy theorist Jake Shields mentioned Palantir as part of a mechanism by Jewish people to force “us to live as slaves.”Shields said, “Look what they do in Palestine. That's a testing ground, I think, for all of us, through drones, Palantir, surveillance. I think, ultimately, what these people want is for us to live as slaves.” Southern Poverty Law Center, accessed [6/25/26, 4/11/25; Rumble, The Stew Peters Show, 5/8/26]
Podcaster Theo Von warned that because of “Flock cameras or some company like this, Palantir, one of these companies is going to be owning all of this information,” and Americans will not “be able to live or do anything that feels human.”YouTube, *This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von*, [6/21/26]
Von and guest John Kiriakou criticized data centers, with Kiriakou warning that the projects are “intel-related” and backed by “Palantir and Nvidia and Abraxas and all these big companies that either took CIA investments to get started as seed money, or are staffed by retired senior CIA officers — they’re not doing it for their health.”Kiriakou continued, “This new compound in Utah that NSA has built has enough memory storage space for every phone call, every email, and every text message from every American for the next 500 years.” YouTube, *This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von*, [6/5/26]
## Some commentators criticized Vance for being a “pawn of Palantir,” warning he will institute a “super surveillance state”
Right-wing influencer Alex Stein suggested that future elections could be “fake” and he therefore “wouldn't be surprised if JD Vance wins, the Palantir president.” On the Gray Areapodcast, Stein mocked Vance’s potential supporters, saying, “You're going to have all these MAGA people like, oh, I'm so happy we have a digital currency. I'm so happy we have a social credit score so we can kick them Mexicans out of here, even though they're going to be the ones that shut off your car for not getting the vaccine.” Rumble, *Gray Area,* [1/26/26]
On theNXR Podcast, white nationalist Nick Fuentes said, “If Vance is a pawn of Palantir and Anduril, which are defense contractors and intelligence contractors, wouldn't the deep state prefer Vance over Trump?” Fuentes: “And in particular, what will he do? Give them the federal contracts, give them favorable regulation, get their personnel inside the Department of War, inside the administration. And then eventually he'll be the president and have even more power.” Southern Poverty Law Center, accessed [6/25/26; NXR Podcast, 2/25/26, 2/25/26]
Steve Bannon said that Vance is “a creation of” Thiel’s political efforts to make “a surveillance state.” Bannon continued, “They try to put a false front of patriotism and nationalism when they’re anything but — these guys are the ultimate deep staters. They provide the surveillance apparatus to take the deep state to a much darker place than it already is.” Real America’s Voice, *War Room*, [4/21/26]
Fuentes complained that Vance is “totally unacceptable” as a presidential candidate because of “his connections with Palantir.” Rumble, *America First*, [5/7/26]
Stew Peters: If Trump is impeached, Vance will “make Vice President Palantir body-snatcher turn into President Palantir body-snatcher and preside over the Alex Karp-Peter Thiel AI takeover of everything, along with, of course, the rest of the criminals in Big Tech.”Peters warned, “If you think that data centers right now are a problem, just imagine JD Vance becoming president.” Rumble, *The Stew Peters Show*, [5/7/26]
Bannon suggested that “JD Vance, and Peter Thiel, and [Palantir CEO Alex] Karp, and all these guys are in bed with China and the Chinese Communist Party.” Real America’s Voice, *War Room*, [5/8/26]
Peters: Vance is “going to be President Palantir because he is going to be president mass surveillance state, super surveillance state. That’s JD Vance. That’s why Peter Thiel has funded him, has created him.” Rumble, *The Stew Peters Show*, [5/14/26]
Right-wing influencer Amrou Fudl, known online as Myron Gaines, said “JD Vance’s entire political career is astroturfed,” adding, “I don’t like these Palantir people.” Fudl continued, “I don't like Peter Thiel. … JD Vance throws me off, OK? And I also — I don’t like the other idiot that runs Palantir, right? This guy right here — the worst. Alex Karp. The worst.” Mediaite, [12/22/25; Kick, MyronGainesX, 5/7/26]
Podcaster Tim Dillon criticized a clip of Vance discussing concerns about AI and mass surveillance, arguing the vice president is “sponsored by the tech CEOs and data centers.”Dillon said that the Trump administration wanted Palantir to “merge all of the databases that collect information on you — the federal government’s databases, whether it’s concerning health issues or criminal justice issues,” adding, “What the hell’s that? What would that be used for — birthday cards?” YouTube, *The Tim Dillon Show*, [6/20/26, 6/20/26]
OnThe Joe Rogan Experience, Dillon said Vance and other figures in the Trump administration are engaging in “a little bit of gaslighting” over AI and mass surveillance: “It’s almost like China will enslave you. Let us do it first.”Dillon explained, “My worry is that in the guise of fighting China, we’re going to become China. So I would take the government a lot more seriously if they weren't, you know, potentially like, saying Palantir should merge all these different government databases so your health data and your criminal justice data and your tax data all merges. And who’s doing that? Palantir. … So when Vance comes out and he goes I'm worried about a credit score. It's like, OK. Hey, buddy. Me too. What the hell is this?” YouTube, *The Joe Rogan Experience*, [6/24/26]
## Other right-leaning media platformed defenses of Palantir and dismissed concerns about surveillance programs
TheAll-In Podcasthosted Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar to “respond” to worries about “Palantir powering a surveillance state.” Sankar insisted, “We don't collect data. We don't have any data. It'd be like accusing Excel of being a surveillance tool.” The CEO of Palantir, Alex Karp, was similarly invited to participate in a summit run by the All-In Podcast last year. YouTube, *All-In Podcast*, [4/6/26, 9/9/25]
Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro criticized the idea that “Palantir is the Antichrist,” arguing “we’ll just lose” the AI competition with China.Reading a post from Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin, Shapiro complained, “So Palantir is the Antichrist. And now, if you buy into this entire shtick, if you buy into the idea that AI as a technology must be destroyed, it won't be destroyed. We'll just lose. If you think that China is going to forgo AI, you're a fool. They're not.” The Daily Wire, *The Ben Shapiro Show,* [4/21/26]
OnThe Rubin Report, Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale claimed, “If they'd had Palantir, it would have been very easy to stop 9/11. That was the whole point.” Forbes, accessed [6/25/26; YouTube, The Rubin Report, 5/9/26]

AN 4 26
Philadelphia-based CNN host Michael Smerconish has often said that as a conservative, one thing that infuriates him is white supremacists and neo-Nazis assuming that he will be sympathetic to their views. And Smerconish made it clear that he had no use for their ideology, which he considered antithetical to traditional conservatism and libertarianism.
But in 2026, white nationalist Nick Fuentes has a substantial following within the far-right MAGA movement. And according to the Washington Post, his political operation is bringing in a lot more money than many of his critics assume.
Post reporters Drew Harwell and Jeremy B. Merrill, in an article published on April 20, explain, "Since the start of last year through the end of last month, roughly 11,000 donors have sent Fuentes nearly $900,000 in superchats, a Washington Post analysis found. The Post analyzed more than 1400 hours of Fuentes' streams, using artificial intelligence to tally the donations, which flicker on screen in real time."
The Post reporters stress that although some online platforms shun Fuentes, he isn't going away.
"Fuentes, 27, has been kicked off most mainstream social networks because of his viral provocations and extreme bigotry," according to Harwell and Merrill. "He has said that Adolf Hitler is 'awesome,' that most Black people should be imprisoned, that 'organized Jewry' has corrupted society and that women should be locked in 'breeding gulags' and serve only as 'mothers, whores or nuns.' But he has become an increasingly influential and disruptive force in the American conservative movement, thanks to a shadow economy of loyalists who cut and promote viral clips from his hours-long streams in pursuit of their own online clout."
The Post reporters add, "Through his superchats, Fuentes has funneled that attention into a lucrative financial engine fueled by the handouts of hardcore fans. He said he also makes money selling swastika-imprinted t-shirts and $100-a-month subscriptions to a private chatroom, where he talks with devotees…. Fuentes' superchat revenue throws a spotlight on the crisis now engulfing the American right, where some leaders fear a new blitz of agenda-setting online firebrands will alienate more moderate voters or empower a platform of racist and misogynistic rule."
Much of Fuentes' support is coming from small donors, Harwell and Merrill report — and those donations are adding up.
Megan Squire, a researcher for the Southern Poverty Law Center, told the Post, "Donating a superchat is the new showing up to a (Ku Klux) Klan meeting. It's a community builder, it shows you're involved, and it's a financial form of keyboard warrior-ing — a thing you can do for the cause."

The antisemitic influencers who popularized the term “J-pilled” know exactly what it means
Written by Matt Gertz
:{:{Published 03/31/26}:
A New York Times report on young attendees at last weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference soft-peddled the movement’s antisemitism by describing some right-wingers as “J-pilled” and erroneously defining that term as “far-right slang for skepticism of Israeli influence.”
One indication that definition is inaccurate, as my former colleague Madeline Peltz pointed outin criticizing the article, is that “a few grafs later they quote a groyper who says ‘at least 60 percent of the young people here’ are fans of Nick Fuentes, who wants to deport all Jews from America.”
Another tell, of course, is that “Israel” doesn’t begin with a J — but “Jew” does. “J-pilled,” as should be extremely obvious from the name, is actually far-right slang for skepticism of Jewish influence. Those who claim to be “J-pilled” see the hidden hand of the Jewish people behind every social ill, an adaptation of the gutter antisemitism familiar from the blood-soaked anti-Jewish tome The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
This strain of explicitly anti-Jewish sentiment is a growing problem on the right. Fuentes, a Holocaust-denying white nationalist once barred from the mainstream right, broke that containment in 2025 with a wave of appearances with popular podcasters like Tucker Carlson. He and his allies have tried to use the horrific scenes of devastation the Israeli military perpetuated against Palestinians in Gaza to make inroads with young Republicans and encourage them to adopt virulently antisemitic views — and polling suggests they are succeeding.
If you spend enough time watching the programs of Fuentes and his ilk, you will hear the cohort the Times describes make very clear that when they use the term “J-pilled,” they are talking about Jews, not Israel.
Here’s a viewer telling Fuentes that his “boomer family” is “being J-pilled” by Candace Owens talking “about the propaganda surrounding Hitler.”
Here’s one explaining to Hitler-praising manosphere streamer Myron Gaines (real name Amrou Fudl) that he “found out my mom is jew pilled” when he “brought up some things about the jews and she started talking about the red cows and temple.” (While reading this comment, Gaines shortened “jew pilled” to “J-pilled.”)
Here’s another one telling Gaines, “My sister who is J-pilled thinks the jews want Maduro dead because his politics outlaws jews! no porn, no abortion, no usury!” (When Gaines read the latter comment, he said “J’s” in both places where the text read “jews.”)
Some on the far-right, hoping to avoid being accurately tarred as antisemites, deliberately try to muddy the waters. Gaines, for example, often uses the term “J-pilled” when he is discussing Israel.
But the streamer has also made clear this is a smokescreen. During a March 2025 show, he read a viewer’s claim that “the Disney CEO (Bob Iger) the man who has been destroying movies with bs trans ideology and feminism ideology and funding shitty movies it all makes sense when you check WIKI” — a reference to Iger being Jewish.
In response, Gaines told his livestreaming audience to type “1” into the stream’s chat “if I've J-pilled you,” adding, “I gotta obviously use certain terminology here for obvious reasons, but you guys know what I'm talking about.”
“All right, sweet,” he said as the chat became a stream of people replying with 1s.

Some are less subtle about what they mean when they talk about “J-pilling.” Take Stew Peters, a prominent right-wing streamer and influencer known for bigoted commentary, violent ideation about his political foes, and deranged conspiracy theories.
“As everybody knows, The Stew Peters Show and this network broadly have been and still are to this day at the forefront of J-pilling the American people,” Peters said in November 2025. “Our people are waking up. Our people are rising up. They’re noticing, and the noticing will continue. If you think about it, it’s impossible not to notice.”
Peters then detailed who and what his supporters are “noticing” — the Jews responsible for all of society’s problems.
“Just think of everything that these walking, talking, interest-charging demons have been responsible for,” he said.
He continued: “If societal ills were a bunch of stones in the middle of a field somewhere and all of us got together walking around, turning up the stones to see what’s underneath them, under every single one of these stones, you would find a little Jew-man, grubbing his hands, smirking, wearing his tiny hat, trying to get over on the goyim. Trying to kill the goyim, when it really comes down to it.”
“Just think of all that these people are responsible for,” he added. “Usury, central banking, communism, Bolshevik communism, the Holodomor, the transatlantic slave trade, transgenderism, the normalization of homosexuality, the normalization of pedophilia, transgenderism for kids, open borders, white replacement, white genocide, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, AIPAC, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, abortion, which is just a modern-day Malachian sacrifice ritual.”

It doesn’t really sound like “J-pilling” is solely about “Israeli influence,” whatever the Times says.

Unearthed recordings of the newly appointed political director of the College Republicans of America reveal further details of his extremist beliefs, including support for forced birth, slavery, racial epithets, and stripping women of the right to vote.
Kai Schwemmer, a devotee of racist podcaster Nick Fuentes, made these statements during his time as a right-wing influencer, in a series of livestreamsuncovered by The Guardian.
In one appearance, Schwemmer was reportedly asked if he believed if a 15-year-old girl who had been raped by her uncle should be forced to carry the resulting pregnancy to term. According to The Guardian, he replied, “Yes, I would agree with that.”
Schwemmer reportedly said he agreed with another streamer who preferred a society where abortion is banned and slavery is legal to one where abortion is legal and slavery is banned. Schwemmer also reportedly defended the use of racial slurs that appeared on the stream of a Black TikTok creator.
White nationalist Nick Fuentes speaks to his followers in Washington, D.C., in November 2020.
On the recordings, Schwemmer reportedly expressed his support for the Christian nationalist concept of “family voting,” a system where women would lose the right to vote and instead voting would be the sole undertaking of the male head of the household. The retrograde worldview isalso backed by Idaho-based Christian nationalist pastor Doug Wilson, a close ally of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
American womenhave had the federal right to vote since 1920, following the ratification of the 19th Amendment, though rights were available in some states before that.
Schwemmer also reportedly promoted antisemitic tropes about Jewish people supposedly controlling the news media and entertainment industry—bigoted conspiracy theories that have been a part of antisemitic movements for generations. Similarly, he reportedly argued that gay men have been “weaponizing” gyms to “give you AIDS.”
The belief system espoused by Schwemmer on the recordings echoes hisintellectual ally, podcaster Nick Fuentes. Schwemmer’s leadership position over the more than 200 chapters of College Republicans of America represents further mainstreaming of the racist and sexist brand of conservative politics that grew in prominence after the political success of President Donald Trump.
Figures like Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishbackhave also embraced Fuentes’ movement, who call themselves “groypers.” The group’s toxic beliefs essentially argue that America should be dominated by straight, white, right-wing men, with all other dissenting views silenced and disregarded.

Fuentes has advocated for imprisoning women and stripping away their rights, calling them “the number one political enemy in America.”
Fuentes has repeatedly discussed, mimed, or advocated for assaulting women on his show, saying he would “beat the shit out of” and “murder” his hypothetical girlfriend.
Fuentes has repeatedly discussed sex with underage girls and claimed the age of consent “should be lower” and has stated he wanted a “16-year-old wife.”
Fuentes has attacked women as “emotional” and “annoying,” said they should “know their place,” and said women should be called “my prisoner” instead of “my wife.”
Fuentes has claimed women are “idiots” who are “made to have kids” and that “women exist for sex.”
Fuentes has complained about women in politics, repeatedly attacked women in right-wing media, and stated that “the man should be the man of the conservative movement.”
Fuentes has advocated for imprisoning women and stripping away their rights}:
Fuentes called women the “number one political enemy in America” and called for them to be “imprisoned.” He explained, “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women. … So they go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.” Rumble, *America First*, [2/11/26]
When asked what he'd do as president, Fuentes stated he'd “for sure” take away the right to vote from women. He claimed, “I would just take away the right to vote for tons of people. Women for sure, but also I'd raise the voting age to like, 25 in general.” YouTube, *The Jack Neel Podcast*, [11/24/25]
Fuentes has stated: “When I say women's rights, what do we obviously need to do? Take them away. This is just obvious.” Rumble, *America First*, [4/17/25]
Fuentes said, “I really hate women,” and argued that “women must tremble in fear.” He added, “Women just need to be not.” Rumble, *America First*, [1/24/25]
Fuentes stated of trans women: “I think you just need to ban them from public life.” Rumble, *America First*, [11/19/24]
Discussing influencers Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate’s human trafficking case, Fuentes said of the women who were charged alongside the brothers: “I just want them to be in jail for longer because I, you know, because that's just how I feel about women.” He then called allegations against Andrew Tate “fake.” Rumble, *America First*, [6/20/23; BBC, 6/21/23]
Fuentes argued that when “left to their own devices" women will run “around naked in the street like banshees" and claimed they need the “domineering hand of men to control them" and “throw them in the dungeon.” He said, “They're too pure for this world. No, they are not. Left to their own devices? You see what happens to them. They're running around naked in the street like banshees. They need the strong, domineering hand of men to control them. To throw them in the house, throw them in the basement and lock the door. Throw them in the dungeon under the stairs and lock the door. No, kidding about that part, but it's true.” Rumble, *America First*, [10/21/22]
## Fuentes has repeatedly discussed, mimed, or advocated for assaulting women on his show
Fuentes complained about women who say things to “emasculate” men, like calling someone a “beta male,” saying, “Women need to be punched in the mouth who say that.” He went on to add: “Women are completely vapid. Women can't name three countries.” Rumble, *America First*, [2/5/26]
Complaining about television programming, Fuentes asked, “When is there going to be a show where the wife tries to mess with the husband, she's easily caught, and then she gets her fucking ass kicked?” He said: “That's the show I want to see,” and went on, saying: “I want to see the show where she tries to disrupt the husband's plans, and the husband, who's a genius in everything, anticipates this also. He catches her so quick and then he just lays a beat down and puts the fear of God in her.” Rumble, *America First*, [2/5/26]
Fuentes has said: “When women come at me and they're like, you need to do this, you need to do that. I'm just like, shut up,” then mimed violently punching a pumpkin on his desk. Fuentes said: “You know what my favorite words are when a woman talks? I made cookies.” Rumble, *America First*, [10/2/25]
Discussing Andrew Tate’s charges, Fuentes asked: “What crime did he commit besides sex trafficking, besides probably hitting women, which is whatever.” He added: “What crime did he really even commit? No, I'm joking obviously, but this guy literally just popularized being sexist.” Rumble, *America First*, [3/28/25]
Fuentes demonstrated to his audience how to punch a woman, saying: “You want to put your whole body behind it. ... You turn into it with your whole — and the power comes from your core.” He later added: “I am kidding. That's a joke. I am against violence against women.” Rumble, *America First*, [1/24/25]
Fuentes claimed that sexual assault is “not real.” He said: “Women are obsessed with SA. He SA'd me. Sexual assault, rape. It's not real. It's real, but not to the extent that they say it is.” Rumble, *America First*, [11/8/24]
Mocking right-wing podcaster Brett Cooper’s facial expressions, Fuentes fantasized about assaulting women and said, “I want to grab both their wrists with my hands, and I just want to start” before miming punching. He said, “Women these days, they’re always making faces, and I want to like, I really just want to blast them in the face.” Rumble, *America First*, [10/31/24]
Fuentes claimed: “I need a Nick-fearing woman who knows that I'm going to put her in the fucking dirt if she stands in my way.” He said: “I need a husband-fearing woman. I need a Nicholas Fuentes-fearing woman. I need a woman that fears me and doesn't divorce me.” He later added: “You know, she can fear God all she wants. … God will not stop her from acting like a bitch, unfortunately. God doesn't tend to intervene in that way. You know, God will not punch her in the face, in other words. God is not going to kill her and bury her in the backyard if she cheats on you. You know, he might send her to hell later, but he's not going to slap her across the face when she gets out of line.” He concluded: “No. I'm kidding. Not that I would do that. Not that I would ever put my hands on a lady.” Rumble, *America First*, [4/3/24]
Fuentes claimed if his hypothetical girlfriend cheated on him he would “probably beat the shit out of her” or “murder her.” He added: “And if my wife did it, I would just beat the shit out of her and maybe kill her,” before noting, “No. I'm kidding, of course.” He complained: “If a girl cheats on you in this day and age, you can't even lay a finger on her. And if you do, she goes to the police and says, oh, he beat me. And then you get charged with domestic abuse. And then that's on your record forever, and then you can't vote, and you can't own a gun. And if you have kids, they take the kids from you. It's totally rigged.” Rumble, *America First*, [3/19/24]
Fuentes claimed women “like” being assaulted. He said, “Thing is about women, you got to slap them around,” before adding, “They want you to grab them by the face,” and gesturing, grabbing his own face to demonstrate. Rumble, *America First*, [1/26/24]
## Fuentes has repeatedly discussed sex with underage girls, claimed the age of consent “should be lower,” and said that after 25 “this ship has sort of sailed”
Fuentes called the concept of the age of consent a “feminist construct” and argued it “doesn't make any sense” that teenagers need to be 18 to consent. He said, “This whole, like 15-year-olds are literally children. I'm sorry, that's feminism. Whenever — I'm going to stick to my guns on this one. When you see guys saying stuff like 16, 15, that's a literal child. This is feminism. That's a feminist construct. Age of consent, feminist construct. Google it. It is literally a — what does that even mean? No one even knows.” Rumble, *America First*, [2/17/26]
Fuentes claimed that notorious late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had “aura" and said, “Sorry, 17-year-old girls are attractive. Hate to break it to you.”Rumble, *America First*, [1/21/26, 1/21/26; The New York Times, 7/1/08]
Fuentes has claimed: “I think in an ideal world men and women are getting married in their teens,” adding, “That's the age when men and women are sexually active and fertile.” He continued, “I don’t think that’s crazy, that you have like a 21-year-old guy with a job, who’s established, marries a younger girl who’s 17.” He then added: “What's insane is a girl who finishes high school, goes to college, sleeps with six or seven guys … goes to bars in the city, fucks a bunch more guys, and then when she’s ready to settle down at 25, then she considers marriage. OK, well, what does that look like for you now? You’re 25, you’re past your prime in fertility and looks, you’re used goods.” Rumble, *America First*, [1/21/26]
Fuentes said that: “We can have hot teenage wives, and that will be fecund and fertile and will give us children, and they won't be bitches.” Rumble, *America First*, [3/12/25]
Fuentes claimed that “children are the healthiest the younger the mother is.” He added: “Should we get back to a society like that? Where instead of women deferring childbirth because of education or jobs or because they want to have sex with a bunch of people, should we have them be mothers again?” Rumble, *America First*, [2/19/25]
Fuentes claimed that “after they hit puberty in their adolescence” is when “women are the most beautiful.” He stated: “That is when the men are the most strong and sexually active. That is when they should be getting married.” He then went on to blame age of consent laws for falling birth rates. Rumble, *America First*, [1/27/25]
Fuentes claimed that “when you're a woman, in particular, you're beautiful for maybe 10 years.” He went on: “And you could be pretty after that, but like, you're in your prime, let's say, from like 18 to 25 or something. And then we all know this is the game they play — they like to have their fun, and then they want to get married later. … But then, the ship has sort of sailed.” YouTube, *Bradley Martyn's Raw Talk*, [12/2/25]
Fuentes claimed “I think the age of consent should be lower. I don't even really believe in the concept.” He added, “There's no such thing as marital rape. Because when you marry a person, you have a marital obligation to give your spouse sex whenever they want it.” Rumble, *America First*, [8/1/23]
Asserting that “women age like milk,” Fuentes said he wanted to find himself a “16-year-old wife.” He said, “Yeah, I got to find my 16-year-old wife. Probably when I turn 30 or something. Because here's the thing, I don't want to be like — let's say I get married to an 18-year-old now. Six-year age difference. When I turn 40, she's going to be 34. Ew.” Rumble, *America First*, [5/17/23]
## Fuentes has attacked women as “emotional” and “annoying” and said they should “know their place”
Fuentes claimed he likes women “when they are pleasant, when they smile, when they know their place, when they know their role.” He added: “A man's role is to provide and to protect. That's our place. Your place is to be nice. Your place is to be pleasant, nice, beautiful, virtuous, raise the kids, take care of the home, support your man. That's your place, that's your role. And when women act like women, it's a beautiful thing.” Rumble, *America First*, [12/16/25]
Fuentes stated: “I said women need to shut up. That is true.” He remarked: “Like, it is good advice. Every woman in your life, if you just got them to shut up more, good advice. … And the good ones will know that it's for their own benefit.” Rumble, *America First*, [12/16/25]
Fuentes called weddings “humiliation rituals" and suggested people say “my prisoner” or “my bitch” instead of “my wife.” He said, “If you ever say the words ‘my wife’ you are cooked. Beyond belief. Acceptable alternatives: my prisoner, my bitch, that ho over there. But my wife? And then they call their wives by their names? Oh, I just can't. And the whole wedding thing? Oh, I can't do it, dude. I see these weddings. They're just humiliation rituals, you guys.” Rumble, *America First*, [6/11/25]
Fuentes has argued that “there is nothing in the Bible that would tell you that men and women are the same, that they're equal, that they should have equal standing in society.” He complained, “Almost everybody today is defending the position that women should have political, social, legal equality.” Fuentes then argued further: “I don't want to hear women talking back to men. I don't want to hear women in public giving men shit, talking back, raising their voice. Women should not have the freedom to wear whatever they want, say whatever they want, go wherever.” Rumble, *America First*, [3/28/25]
Fuentes has fantasized on his show about telling women: “Hey, shut the fuck up. You know, we don't want to hear you talk. I'll let you know when I want to hear you talk. I don't want to hear you talk right now, so shut the fuck up.” He continued: “When you really have a guy that's out there challenging women, and telling guys to challenge women, it seems like that is almost just as much of a forbidden subject as talking about the Jews.” Rumble, *America First*, [3/28/25]
Fuentes asserted that “women need to shut the fuck up, Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part, and we would live in paradise.” Rumble, *America First*, [3/28/25]
After the 2024 presidential debate between then-Vice President Kamala Harris and President Donald Trump, Fuentes claimed: “Women are really screwed up right now. They're screwed up. They're unpleasant. They're annoying.” He went on, saying, “And a lot of women, they do look at Trump as like a predator because they're all obsessed with sexual abuse.” Rumble, *America First*, [9/10/24]
Fuentes remarked: “I love my mom. But, you know, my mom is a woman, and women are emotional.” He also said: “Men have to assert themselves without literally any regard for what women think. Your girlfriend, your mom, your sister, your wife — don't listen to them.” Rumble, *America First*, [9/25/23]
## Fuentes has claimed women are “idiots” who are “made to have kids”
Fuentes claimed: “Women exist for sex. That is why they are mothers, or they are whores, or they are nuns. End of list.”He also said: “Rape is something that is played up because of the way that women have politicized sexuality. Women want to have no consequences for their actions, so rape is always a convenient excuse.” Fuentes added that “women are childlike until they hit menopause.” Rumble, *America First*, [2/17/26]
Fuentes stated he's “OK” with women hating him because “women are idiots.”He said, “Women hate me. That's what women think of me. They think of me as a racist little woman hater. And I'm OK with that. You want to know why? Women are idiots. Most women are complete idiots. So if you go to a woman and you say anything that's like not socially acceptable, they just reflexively go, ew. I'm OK with that.” Rumble, *America First*, [1/30/26]
Fuentes said: “Your average woman, controlled by her loins, controlled by her primal impulses, she would crawl on hands and knees, bloodied and bashed, on fire, for miles to have a chance with a 6-foot-5 genetically superior male.” He said: “The only thing that constrains that is patriarchy. The only thing that constrains that is a blanket societal stigma around being a whore. That's it. It's the man's ability to enforce and reinforce the social expectations.” Rumble, *America First*, [1/26/26]
After stating that he’s “a super high IQ person,” Fuentes announced, “I think women are dumber than men.” He continued, “I find them extraordinarily annoying, and I don't know how most men don't,” and added: “If I'm ever going to get married, the arrangement is not going to be that I'm getting nagged, that I'm getting told what to do, that I'm checking in with my wife. It's like, you're going to do your fucking obligations. You're going to leave me alone, and you're going to be my wife. You're not going to be my buddy. You're not going to be my best friend. You're going to be my damn ass wife.” Rumble, *The Debrief with Myron Gaines*, [8/14/25]
Fuentes claimed that “women are made to have kids” and that “that's their biological imperative.” He said, “That is how their bones are structured, that's how their brains are structured. They are made to have kids.” Rumble, *America First*, [6/20/23]
## Fuentes has complained about women in politics and repeatedly attacked women in right-wing media
Fuentes stated that “the man is the fucking man of the house, and the man should be the man of the conservative movement, too.”He added: “I know I’m the fucking incel loser, but we need to put women in their place, and it starts with our political movement.” Rumble, *America First*, [12/16/25]
Fuentes called on podcaster Candace Owens’ husband, George Farmer, to “control” her. He ranted, “George, get your bitch in line, control your bitch. You can't have your wife talking about other men like that. Honestly, Tim Pool should beat the shit out of George Farmer. He's got that coming. A lot of people. A lot of people should be kicking George Farmer's ass for the way his wife has been talking.” Rumble, *America First*,[12/16/25]
Fuentes bemoaned the number of major conservative figures who are women. He said: “As a man, I'm going to start to say, look, I'm going to be honest here for a second, and I hope you can handle this. How is it that the conservative movement is constantly preaching traditional values, a return to masculinity, strength, and nationalism, but it's all women running the show?” Rumble, *America First*, [12/16/25]
Asked about women in politics, Fuentes replied, “We do not want women in politics.” He added: “Women are not even interested in politics, OK? ... And you just can't have women in a male space.” “Get married, have kids,” he said. Rumble, *America First*, [8/27/25]
Fuentes declared that he has “zero tolerance for feminism” and that “most of the women you find in politics, they're just feminist bitches.” He added: “Women are inherently attention-seeking. They all want to be Hannah Montana.” Rumble, *America First*, [8/5/25]

Ryan Thorpe and **:{Christopher F. Rufo @ City Journal: The Freak World of Nicholas J. Fuentes}:
Beneath the spectacle, the right-wing influencer has created a heap of human wreckage.
HUH?
Whatever else may be said about him, one fact cannot be denied: Nicholas J. Fuentes, the 27-year-old racialist influencer, is on the run of his life.
That’s a remarkable shift from 2017, when Fuentes was a little-known university freshman who hosted a
political talk show. Over time, he developed a fanatical, cultlike following known as the “Groypers.” His digital following soon crossed over into the real world: first, with his involvement in the 2017 Unite the Right rally; then, with his long-running feud with conservative activist Charlie Kirk; and finally, with his role in “Stop the Steal,” which culminated outside the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
Fuentes has cultivated a reputation as the most provocative and controversial figure on the Right. He has done this by embracing taboos, praising Hitler, and opposing interracial marriage. In turn, he has ridden a wave of spectacle and outrage to new heights, with an appearance on The Tucker Carlson Show, and garnering frequent coverage in outlets such as the New York Times and The Atlantic.
Attempting to undercut his growing influence, the media and Fuentes’s right-leaning critics both tend to focus on Fuentes’s record of offensive remarks. Take Fuentes’s appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored. During the two-hour interview, Morgan played a litany of clips from Fuentes’s talk show, highlighting bigoted comments he’s made over the years.
But this line of attack merely plays into Fuentes’s hands. As one of us has previously noted, Fuentes is best understood as an actor in what postmodern theorist Jean Baudrillard called “hyperreality.” Under conditions of hyperreality, symbols of past phenomena lose their meaning and circulate as hollowed-out images through the digital landscape, where they drive discourse and spark emotional reactions.
This is the framework through which Fuentes, with his professed admiration for Hitler and Stalin, and his embrace of anti-Semitism, should be understood. Above all, he is engaged in a performative demand for attention, cynically harnessing transgression to drive clicks, sow chaos, and gain notoriety.
By contrast, this City Journal investigation—which draws on livestreams, a review of public records, and interviews with key associates—focuses not on Fuentes’s words but on his actions. (Fuentes did not return a detailed request for comment for this article.) It looks beneath the spectacle of outrage and the self-mythology he has curated and reveals a shocking heap of human wreckage that has accumulated within Fuentes’s political universe: betrayal, pedophilia, suicide, murder.
Welcome to the freak world of Nicholas J. Fuentes.
Nicholas Joseph Fuentes was born in Chicago in 1998. He grew up in the suburb of La Grange Park. In high school, he served as student council president. After graduation, he briefly attended Boston University before dropping out. Fuentes then moved back to the Chicago area, where, every weeknight, he livestreams his talk show, America First with Nicholas J. Fuentes.
With a greenscreen backdrop, Fuentes sits behind a wooden desk, typically in a suit and tie, pontificating on political and cultural events. Frequently, he launches into expletive- and slur-laced rants. Fuentes presents himself as a dissident truthteller in a world of lies; the ringmaster of a revitalized Right; and a spokesman for young, patriotic men sold out by the elites.
The reality behind the scenes, however, is quite different from this public-facing mythology. The world that has surrounded Fuentes over the past decade is one of paranoia, intrigue, drama, and betrayals. Several of his associates have broken from his movement over the years, spilling dirt on his operation in the process, with allegations and counter-allegations following in the wake of their apostasy. At the same time, Fuentes has developed a fanatical, cultlike following, with many Groypers—at his insistence—swearing a public oath to “rape, kill, and die for Nicholas J. Fuentes.”
One of these young men is Dalton Clodfelter, a 25-year-old Fuentes follower who spoke to City Journal. Clodfelter says he first encountered Fuentes through viral video clips and eventually connected with him through an online group chat. There, he says, the two “hit it off.” At the time, Clodfelter was young, religious, and serving in the U.S. Army.
“I was pretty naïve at the time,” he recalled. “I wanted to be a commentator. I started out on radio when I was 16. I wanted to be a guy that talked and [Fuentes] was more than happy to help me along.”
In the years that followed, Clodfelter pursued a career as an online commentator, attempting to follow in Fuentes’s footsteps. Clodfelter posted openly extreme, racist, and anti-Semitic rants; he often used racial slurs. As a result, Clodfelter claims, mainstream platforms banned his accounts. Seeking an alternative, he moved over to cozy.tv, which Fuentes created to host his own show after being banned from other platforms.
“I was making really great money streaming,” Clodfelter said. “[Then] all of a sudden, like, these income sources are being taken away. . . . Now, I’ve got to figure out a new way to generate this income and supplement these things, and that really did suck on top of all the social media banning. The good thing was, Nick offered me a platform.”
Clodfelter’s association with Fuentes and his own language—including a pledge to “rape, kill, and die”—pushed him further and further from the real world. As he got deeper into the Groyper cult, Clodfelter underwent a period of dramatic disintegration: he was kicked out of the military and saw income streams dried up, and his first marriage ended in divorce, he claims; his online comments grew more extreme, erratic, and disturbed.
The end result was predictable. In a livestream, Clodfelter admitted he’d become unemployable. “I’m really untouchable,” he said. “I can’t go work for a congressman, that’s not going to happen. I can’t go get a job even at, like, a McDonald’s . . . . You look me up—look my name up . . . see what you find, and let me know if you’d hire me.”
Yet Clodfelter is unrepentant about his association with Fuentes and harbors no “resentment” for the personal cost he’s paid.
“I appreciate Nick and everything he’s done and what he’s built and everything he did for me,” he says. Fuentes might have led him down the path to personal ruin, but he was the one who took the final steps. “I decided to say the N-word. I decided to say I love Hitler . . . . And now I’m here.”
In the grand scheme of things, Clodfelter might have gotten off easy. Other Groypers have ended up in prison.
On Jan. 6, 2021, Fuentes was in Washington, D.C., where he joined crowds contesting the 2020 presidential election results. Near the Capitol, Fuentes urged the crowd onward.
“Keep moving towards the Capitol!” he
into a bullhorn. “It appears we are taking the Capitol back from the police right now! Keep marching and don’t relent. Never relent! Break down the barriers and disregard the police!”
Numerous Groypers entered the Capitol that day. One rioter even carried an “America First” flag into the building. But after urging his followers toward the Capitol, Fuentes himself did not go inside. He was investigated but has not been arrested or charged in association with the day’s events.
This fact has raised eyebrows within far-right circles, particularly given the video evidence of him encouraging others to disobey the police. A former FBI agent, who spoke to City Journal on the condition of anonymity, said agents were instructed to “take down every person who was at January 6.” Fuentes, through his attorney, denied having been knowingly interviewed by federal law enforcement.
While Fuentes may have escaped the long arm of the law, other Groypers present that day weren’t so lucky. In the months that followed, at least seven were charged and sentenced for entering the Capitol on January 6. In the aftermath of their arrests, Fuentes disavowed the arrested Groypers, calling them “losers” and saying he did not “wish to be associated with” them. They may have pledged to “rape, kill, and die,” but in the Groyper movement, loyalty appears only to run in one direction.
One question has dogged Fuentes for years: How does he make his money and finance his political operation? During his livestreams, fans must pay a minimum of $20 to pose questions during his Q+A sessions. He has solicited donations and hawks America First merchandise and subscriptions to his $100-a-month private Telegram channel.
Fuentes’s largest known donor to date was a French computer programmer and cryptocurrency millionaire named Laurent Bachelier. In December 2020, as right-wing factions were organizing the “Stop the Steal” protest in Washington, D.C., Bachelier transferred roughly $522,000 in Bitcoin to a network of white nationalist and neo-Nazi activists. The largest recipient, by far, was Fuentes, who received roughly $250,000. Hours after initiating the Bitcoin transfers, Bachelier committed suicide at the age of 35.
Within three months, Bachelier’s donation to Fuentes had effectively doubled in value due to a significant spike in the price of Bitcoin.
After January 6, Fuentes’s finances appear to have been briefly imperiled. The Gray Zone, an investigative outlet edited by hard-left journalist Max Blumenthal, published a purported letter that the Department of Justice sent Fuentes, stating that the DOJ had frozen accounts belonging to Fuentes on January 23, 2021. By the summer of 2021, however, the purported letter claimed DOJ had withdrawn its request to freeze the account.
In spite of this, Fuentes allegedly continued to claim publicly that his funds remained frozen. That narrative unraveled when Jaden McNeil, a former close associate and the treasurer of Fuentes’s nonprofit, said on a livestream that Fuentes had regained access to the funds, a claim corroborated by the Gray Zone’s purported records.
“He’s had that [money] back from the feds for almost a year,” McNeil said on the livestream, accusing Fuentes of using the story to raise money while, at the same time, purchasing an expensive car. “He’s a total liar.”
Over the years, Fuentes has also sought money from at least one prominent right-wing benefactor, according to sources familiar with the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. One former associate claims that in January 2022, Fuentes was scouting real estate in Tampa Bay, where he was considering moving his political operation. During the trip, the associate claims, Fuentes drove four hours to Miami to meet a then-employee of Peter Thiel, the right-wing venture capitalist who has financially backed Republican causes, including the campaigns of President Donald Trump and then-Senate candidate J. D. Vance.
Armed with a presentation, Fuentes pitched Thiel’s employee on providing funding for his show and political operation, according to multiple sources familiar with the meeting who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Thiel, one source claimed, never replied to Fuentes’s request.
Soon after, Fuentes began launching a series of public attacks not only on Thiel, whom he called “the CIA,” but also on Trump and Vance. Fuentes also now bemoans the influence of Thiel funding in right-wing circles, despite having allegedly sought out the very Thiel funding he condemns. Multiple former Fuentes associates who spoke to City Journal claim that the Thiel story is telling, as it reveals Fuentes’s true motivations: not political grievances, but personal ones.
Conversations with multiple former associates paint a picture of Fuentes’s positions as not rooted in principle, but shifting with his perceptions of personal advantage and what he perceives as threats to his ego.
“[There’s an] extraordinary gap between the way he describes himself and presents himself to his followers . . . and his real life,” said former Fuentes ally Milo Yiannopoulos. “He’s somebody who doesn’t believe in anything at all.”
Perhaps the most sordid chapter in the Fuentes story involves his relationship with Ali Alexander, a political activist and key organizer of “Stop the Steal.” In 2023, Alexander was accused of asking teenage boys for sexual photographs.
Amid the fallout from the scandal, Fuentes initially “disavowed” Alexander’s actions, while lashing out at the accusers, saying the teenaged boys were guilty of “flirting” with Alexander. “The real victim in this entire saga is me,” Fuentes said.
He had also previously downplayed the allegations on his show. “If we’re talking about rape and murder and things like that, okay, but we’re talking about flirting?” Fuentes said. “Give me a f***ing break.”
Fuentes has long been aware of Alexander’s alleged proclivities. On a livestream in 2017, Fuentes said there was “abundant evidence” that Alexander “would like to interact in a sexual way with young fashy white boys quite like myself, and like others.” In a video posted by hard-right journalist Dustin Nemos—which purportedly depicts events from November 2020, during the so-called Million MAGA March—a young-looking male, whom Nemos describes as a teenager, recounts to Fuentes a conversation in which the alleged teenager called Alexander a “pedo.” Fuentes responded: “How do people not know about it?”
Despite this history, Fuentes continued to associate with Alexander, appearing alongside him at various political events, including one Fuentes encouraged his supporters to attend. After the scandal broke, Fuentes reportedly pressured one of Alexander’s accusers to recant his allegation in exchange for securing him a job in politics. (Fuentes denied this at the time; he did not return a City Journal request for clarifying comment.) That year, Fuentes also acknowledged on a livestream that, during the Kanye West presidential campaign, he had remained in daily contact with Alexander despite the allegations. In 2024, a Colorado police department confirmed that it was working with “partner agencies” in Texas to investigate Alexander.
Alexander did not return a request for comment.
The Alexander scandal is not an aberration, but part of a broader culture within the Groyper movement. In 2022, Alejandro Richard Velasquez Gomez, a Fuentes fan who had been photographed with him at a political event, was charged with possession of child pornography and making interstate threats on a Turning Point USA event. In the aftermath of the arrest, Fuentes attempted to distance himself, saying Gomez had “nothing to do with me or America First.”
Fuentes’s own comments on sexual topics are equally disturbing. He has stated that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was “cool as f***”; has expressed skepticism about age of consent laws; and indicated he wants to marry a 16-year-old girl when he turns 30. For the Groypers, the transgression of political and sexual taboos is part of Fuentes’s appeal. The more furious the denunciations of Fuentes—racist, sexist, pedophile, Nazi—the deeper his audience digs in. “These labels don’t mean anything,” says Clodfelter, the Fuentes follower. “Those words are meaningless to us now . . . . It doesn’t affect us anymore. And Nick proves that.”
From one perspective, we might be tempted to dismiss Fuentes as a hyperreal spectacle. His Groyper movement relates to politics the same way pornography relates to sex: stripped of meaning, flattened into an image, sensationalized for personal gain.
But hyperreality does not mean unreal, and, like pornography, it can often intrude on reality in ugly and unexpected ways. Conservatives who care about the future of the movement should understand that Fuentes is corrosive. Despite his self-mythology as the most right-wing pundit in America, he is, in a real sense, a tool of the Left. Progressive activists have spent the past decade pushing the narrative that conservatives are Nazis and Donald Trump is Hitler. In Fuentes, they have finally found their man.
The spectacle moreover is not only politically corrosive, but personally corrosive to its participants. At heart, the Fuentes phenomenon is not about ideas, or ideology, or power; it is about an angry, broken young man leading other angry, broken young men down a digital trail that ends in ruin.
Fuentes might laugh about his command for his followers to “rape, kill, and die for Nicholas J. Fuentes,” explaining it away as irony or a morbid joke. But it was only a matter of time before one of his followers, lost in the cult atmosphere of the Groyper movement and unable distinguish reality from hyperreality, would take it seriously.
That is precisely what happened last January, when a black teenager named Solomon Henderson walked into Antioch High School, outside Nashville, with a 9mm pistol and fired 10 rounds into the cafeteria, killing a 16-year-old girl and injuring another student, before turning the gun on himself.
The purported manifesto Henderson left behind—a copy of which found online corresponded to contemporary news descriptions—revealed a fascination with mass shooters, including the neo-Nazi Anders Breivik, who killed dozens of children in Norway in 2011; and a pastiche of radical ideologies lifted from internet forums and imageboards. At the logical level, these ideologies, especially when set against Henderson’s racial identity, seem to make little sense. But in the freak world, populated by a rainbow of nihilists, a black teenager, drunk on the hyperreal spectacle, can murder a young girl in a school cafeteria while calling himself an “Involuntary N[*]gger” and a “Groyper Incel.”
In the manifesto, Henderson asked himself, “Is there a particular groups[sic]or people that radicalized you the most?” He weaves one answer into the subsequent list of irony-laden names—once in plain lettering, and later, in all caps: NICK FUENTES.

####A recent history of America First streamer Nick Fuentes’ Holocaust denial}:}:
Fuentes — who has called the Holocaust “fake,” “preposterous,” and “completely exaggerated” — now says he is “so sick” of being labeled a denier
Written by Jack Wheatley
Published 02/13/26
Amid a wave of conservative infighting last year over his appearances on right-leaning online shows, white nationalist streamer Nick Fuentes remarked on his own program in December that he was “so sick” of being labeled a Holocaust denier. The very next day, during an interview with Piers Morgan, Fuentes mocked the question of how many Jewish people died in the Holocaust, saying: “I don’t know, I’m thinking maybe 7 million, what’s the number? Seven, 6 million? Something like that. Eight million?” He added that it “could maybe even be more than that, upwards of 10.”
Days before the interview, Fuentes told his “groyper” supporters that answering this way was part of a deliberate strategy to downplay and dismiss the Holocaust. “I’ll say it’s 300,000, I’ll say it’s 100 million because I want you to know that I don’t care,” he explained. “I want you to know that I don’t take it seriously.”
According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Holocaust denial is “any attempt to negate the established facts of the Nazi genocide of European Jews,” when 6 million Jewish people were killed, including claims that “the Holocaust was invented or exaggerated by Jews as part of a plot to advance Jewish interests.”
In addition to casting doubt on the number of Jewish people who were killed, Fuentes has denied or questioned whether the Holocaust happened, denied that the Nazis used gas chambers, and claimed that Jewish people “weaponize” the Holocaust as “atrocity propaganda.” He has also frequently downplayed and mocked the genocide.
...
Despite his history of openly antisemitic rhetoric, Fuentes has recently appeared on a variety of right-leaning online shows, including Louder with Crowder, The Tucker Carlson Show, the PBD Podcast, and more. This slew of appearances has seemingly earned him increased viewership and mentions from popular right-leaning online show hosts (though emerging research indicates his growing popularity may be aided in part by foreign bot farms). Fuentes’ increased public visibility follows a concerning pattern of Holocaust denial among Republican polling respondents — The Manhattan Institute found in a 2025 poll that 37% of polled Republicans believe the Holocaust “was greatly exaggerated or did not happen as historians describe.” Fuentes has bragged that Generation Z doesn’t believe in the Holocaust, saying, “We won. Holocaust deniers won.”
Here’s a short history of Fuentes’ statements denying the Holocaust over the past few years, including during his America First streams:
## Fuentes has called the Holocaust “fake,” “propaganda,” and said it “didn't happen the way they said it did”
In November 2025, Fuentes called the Holocaust “a Jewish bedtime story.” He added: “We’re just sick of hearing about it. Yeah, we want to make jokes about it because we don’t give a shit about it.” Rumble, *America First*, [11/11/25]
In September 2025, Fuentes described the Holocaust as an “alleged war crime” and said “the manner, the method, the results are disputed.” He went on, claiming: “I think it's actually a lot less important to get the actual facts exactly right than to simply say it's being used as atrocity propaganda.” He concluded: “I think it suffices to say that it didn't happen the way they said it did because they said a lot of things about it and so much of it is ridiculous. It's probably exaggerated. And what's more important is you're not allowed to question it because it's atrocity propaganda.” Rumble, *America First*, [9/10/25]
In February 2025, Fuentes calledSchindler’s List— a film that “follows the true story of Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), who saved more than 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust” — “propaganda.”Fuentes said, “Just like with the Holocaust, they reenacted the liberation of the camps — fiction — and recorded it to create propaganda, just like they made Schindler’s List.” Rumble, *America First*, 2/5/25; Prime Video, accessed [2/6/26]
Two days later, Fuentes said it was in college when he started “realizing the Holocaust was fake.” Discussing his time in college, Fuentes described himself as a “red-pilled NatSoc normie,” which seemingly refers to national socialist or neo-Nazi, and said, “I was like a normie that was emerging into, like, realizing the Holocaust was fake, realizing Jews control the world, like, full-on race realism.” Rumble, *America First*, [2/7/25; ADL, accessed 2/6/26]
On theFresh & Fitpodcast in July 2023, Fuentes stated, “I don’t believe in the Holocaust.” He went on to say: “I don’t believe there were gas chambers. I don’t believe it was 6 million. I also don’t believe that there was ever an order given out that said OK, you know, we’re going to kill them all.” Media Matters, [7/12/23]
While responding to a question about the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust, Fuentes said in May 2023: “The whole thing is just preposterous.” Rumble, *America First*, [5/31/23]
## Fuentes has repeatedly mocked the Holocaust and denied that 6 million Jewish people died
Fuentes said in May 2025 that “They say 6 million died. Probably it was less. Probably it was far fewer than 6 million.” He also said: “To the extent that there are or were Nazis or there was Jewish suffering, there's nothing criminal or I would say even immoral when they say we're minimizing the suffering.” Rumble, *America First*, [5/13/25]
In March 2025, celebrating America over Europe, Fuentes said: “We get to say whatever we want on the internet. We get to deny the Holocaust.” Rumble, *America First*, [3/4/25]
In March 2025, Fuentes mocked “the alleged Holocaust of roughly 6 million Jews, give or take some millions.” Rumble, *America First*, [3/11/25]
In February 2025, Fuentes claimed his studio was too hot, saying: “It's like 2 million, 6 million degrees. It feels like an oven in here or something.” He added: “It’s 6 million degrees, it feels like an oven in here or something. Which is very inhumane. That's very inhumane. It's the worst atrocity in history. Oy vey, it’s starting to feel like an oven in here. Anyway, I feel like I’m being thrown on a great pyre with millions of bodies day in and day out and they’re all burning up at a record pace.” Rumble, *America First*, [2/19/25]
In February 2025, a supporter asked Fuentes, “How many Yeezy swastika shirts did you buy?” to which he responded: “I bought 6 million — do you believe me?” Rumble, *America First*, [2/11/25]
In September 2024, complaining that people call him and his followers Nazis, Fuentes asked: “What did the Nazis do that was so terrible? The Holocaust?” Rumble, *America First*, [9/25/24]
Fuentes also made a remark about the temperature in his studio in August 2024 and said, “It's like an oven in here. It's like 6 million degrees.” He went on, saying: “I'm feeling like a chocolate chip cookie. Feels like an oven in here. Feels like an oven disguised as a studio, but it's actually a death chamber. I hope I'll be OK. I hope it's not some sort of genocidal torture device. That would be terrible. But it seems unlikely. That seems like that would not make a lot of sense.” Rumble, *America First*, [8/31/24]
In June 2024, Fuentes described the Holocaust as “fake Jewish suffering” and stated: “In actuality, October 7 and the Holocaust are very alike because they're both fake.” He said: “No one is denying that Jewish people died during World War II or were killed by the Nazis. … What is disputed is that Jewish people were turned into lampshades and bars of soap during the Holocaust. … Or that 6 million of them died. I don’t think 6 million of them died. Or that they were put in makeshift gas chambers that were made to look like showers but were actually gas chambers. I don't think that was real either.” Rumble, *America First*, [6/7/24]
In August 2023, after stating that his “groyper” movement is “America First … not Holocaust First,” he called Generation Z “Generation Zyklon.” He also said: “My religion is not the Holocaust. It's not a blasphemy to say that 6 million didn't die.” Rumble, *America First*, [8/12/23]
In July 2023, Fuentes complained that Jewish people “bitch and moan about the so-called 6 million Jews that died.” He added, “Do the Jews ever talk about the 100 million whites that died in World War II?” Rumble, America First, [7/29/23]
## Fuentes has questioned the existence of Nazi gas chambers, saying “that’s not real”
In March 2024, Fuentes said he didn’t “buy” that the Nazis used gas chambers. Fuentes says: “If people wanted to tell me 6 million died in the Holocaust, I'd say OK, fine. If people want to say there were gas chambers, I'd say yeah, I don't know if I buy that.” Media Matters, [3/12/24]
Fuentes said in September 2023: “What the Jews claim is that 6 million were exterminated with trick gas chambers, and that's the part I don't believe.” He added: “Six million? I don’t think so. Gas chambers? I don’t think so.” He went on, “I think the whole thing is completely exaggerated.” Rumble, *America First*, [9/22/23]
In April 2023, Fuentes said Nazi gas chambers were “like a Hollywood movie. Of course that's not real.” Rumble, *America First*, [4/11/23]
In March 2023, Fuentes complained: “If you say I don't think there were gas chambers, you must hate Jews, you're an antisemite.” He went on: “If you say I don't think it was 6 million — antisemite. If you say I think they hide behind that tragedy — antisemite.” Rumble, *America First*, [3/13/23]
## Fuentes has claimed Jewish people have “weaponized” the Holocaust for political gain, calling it “atrocity propaganda”
In December 2025, Fuentes claimed Jewish people “have weaponized this atrocity against my civilization in order to further your own political objectives.”He said: “To tell you the truth, I don't know how many Jews died during the Holocaust. I don't care. I don’t care. And I’ll say it’s 300,000, I’ll say it’s 100 million because I want you to know that I don’t care. I want you to know that I don’t take it seriously.” Rumble, *America First*, [12/9/25]
In September 2025, Fuentes said Jewish people “exploit the Holocaust as atrocity propaganda to prevent people from noticing or questioning their rule.” Rumble, *America First*, [9/20/25]
Fuentes said in July 2025 that the Holocaust and October 7 “are being used as emotional blackmail to guilt the native populations into accepting a melting pot, multiracial, diverse, tolerant society.” He went on: “This has allowed a small minority that is both a religious and ethnic minority, which is 2% of the population, to rise up and become disproportionately represented and influential in media, Hollywood, finance, banking, government.” Rumble, *America First*, [7/25/25]
In April 2025, Fuentes said “the victim narrative of the Holocaust is the ideological foundation of all of the pro-diversity, human rights, tolerance — it’s basically the pillars of modern liberalism.” He added: “Emerging from World War II, the Americans, the British, they got together and said how can we prevent from ever happening again, another Holocaust, another Hitler, another totalitarian, racialist, fascist regime like the Nazis? They said we have to promote diversity.” Rumble, *America First*, [4/16/25]
Fuentes stated in March 2025: “Clearly the Holocaust is used for political purposes.”He added, “That reason alone is enough to scrutinize the narrative, even if not necessarily the details or other aspects of it.” Rumble, *America First*, [3/7/25]

Right-wing media figures are furious at activists for using whistles during ICE activity
Written by Payton Armstrong
Published 02/03/26
Right-wing media figures are lashing out at community members in Minnesota for using whistles to alert others of federal immigration enforcement in the area, asserting that whistles should be “considered a violent weapon” and that their use constitutes “interference” with immigration enforcement operations or even “assault.”
Activists and residents have explained that whistles are “a way to quickly draw witnesses and cameras when enforcement activity happens in neighborhoods.” Bystander video, which has sometimes contradicted official Department of Homeland Security statements, has become critical in multiple recent incidents like the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, whom DHS officials initially baselessly accused of being domestic terrorists.
### Bystanders using whistles have become ubiquitous with immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis — in part as “a way to quickly draw witnesses and cameras”
ICE operations in Minneapolis have transformed everyday life for residents with the killing of two U.S. citizens, the detainment of thousands of migrants and community members, and reports of widespread use of force and chemical irritants like pepper balls and tear gas on crowds.NBC News reported that “since December, the surge of federal immigration personnel to Minnesota led to the apprehensions of more than 3,000 migrants in what the Department of Homeland Security has called ‘the largest immigration enforcement operation ever.’” During that time, two U.S. citizens — Alex Pretti and Renee Good — were shot and killed by masked federal agents just weeks apart; at least four children were apprehended by ICE, two while they were on their way to school; and federal agents have “regularly deploy[ed] chemical irritants to deter observers and protesters.” NBC News, [1/27/26; MPR News, 1/28/26; CNN, 1/20/26]
The Minnesota Star Tribune reported that “the sight and sound of whistles have become common around the Twin Cities amid the ongoing immigration operation and organized resistance.”CBS News reported that “organizers and volunteers say the whistles are meant to be an attention grabber and a way to quickly draw witnesses and cameras when enforcement activity happens in neighborhoods.” Community members and local businesses, including a toy store and a bar, have reportedly given away thousands. The Minnesota Star Tribune, [1/20/26; CBS News, 1/14/26; MinnPost, 12/15/25]
Stella Carlson, who recorded critical video of agents shooting and killing Pretti, told CNN that she decided to come to the scene after hearing whistles while driving to work.Carlson’s video contradicted initial DHS statements that Pretti “brandished” a gun at agents, and according to CNN, “Carlson’s video, and the ensuing outrage surrounding Pretti’s killing, placed the Trump administration under immense pressure that eventually led to the White House pulling Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol official who had led the surge in Minneapolis and several other American cities, out of Minnesota.” Carlson explained to CNN anchor Anderson Cooper why she personally carries a whistle, saying: “When we walk around with the whistles around our neck, it's not that we have — like we know we can't do much. But what we do know is that we can let our community at large know when we're walking around, like, I see you. And if you're stuck in your apartment, I want you to see me. I'm another person walking around who is here to protect you as best I can with my whistle and my phone.” CNN, [1/28/26, 1/25/26]
:{:{Attorney Tracy Roy told The Minnesota Star Tribune that while physically intervening with ICE activity is illegal, “bystanders certainly can make noise, blow whistles and alert presence.” The Minnesota Star Tribune, [1/20/26]}:

### Right-wing media figures claimed whistles “should be considered a violent weapon” and that their use amounts to “interference” or possibly “assault”
Right-wing podcaster Megyn Kelly claimed that people blowing whistles constituted “interference” and “contributed to the chaotic atmosphere that ultimately led Alex Pretti to die.” Kelly said: “We don't know if Alex Pretti was sent to that area specifically by these anti-ICE agitators or whether he was officially part of the group. But some on that street were because they had the telltale signal of whistleblowing, which is their favorite thing. And by the way, that needs to stop. Now, some are saying that's fine. That actually is interference. You — if you came out on your front lawn and just blew a coach's whistle at the top of your lungs all day, you would be cited by the police under the local noise ordinances. It would be a disturbance of the peace. That's what these people are doing. And no doubt they contributed to the chaotic atmosphere that ultimately led Alex Pretti to die.” SiriusXM, *The Megyn Kelly Show*, [1/26/26]
:{:{Right-wing streamer Steven Crowder said that women on the scene of Pretti’s killing had “arguably commit[ed] assault against the officers with whistles in the ears.”Crowder: “Those women absolutely went out of their way to cross the street and arguably commit assault against the officers with whistles in the ears.” Rumble,:(style="background-color:#ffbb16ff"):}: *Louder with Crowder*, [1/26/26]}:
Right-wing influencer Mike Cernovich said that whistles used by activists “should be considered a violent weapon.”Cernovich reportedly posted on social media: “From smoke alarms to those hearing loss causing machines that terrorists use against ICE. Tbh those things should be considered a violent weapon. They damage hearing for life.” The Independent, [1/26/26]
Conservative radio host Buck Sexton reportedly replied to Cernovich’s post and wrote, “All true.” The Independent, [1/26/26]
Director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, Lora Ries, also reportedly replied to Cernovich’s post and said that whistles “are NOT speech.”The Independent, [1/26/26]
White nationalist streamer Nick Fuentes said protesters “blowing whistles” creates a “confusing, dangerous environment when you can't hear, when you can't see.” Fuentes: “You're asking ICE officers to go and fight these animals and potentially die, potentially get shot in the face. They're being put in an impossible situation. They go out there, they're being chased, they're being harassed, they're being overwhelmed. Protesters are blowing whistles. It's a confusing, dangerous environment when you can't hear, when you can't see.” Rumble, *America First*, [1/27/26; Media Matters, 12/19/25]
The host of the right-wing Spanish language programMucho Que Decirsaid that “blowing whistles” constitutes “being an obstructionist.” Discussing the killing of Alex Pretti, the host said, “It is presumed that he was monitoring ICE duties and then saw some illegal immigrants, wanted to warn them by blowing whistles, being an obstructionist as usual. And had a close encounter with ICE agents, they knocked him down and broke his rib, but not content with that, he continued on the rampage. In other words, this man was not just a pedestrian filming what was going on in Minneapolis." La Nueva Poderosa, *Mucho Que Decir*, [1/27/26]
The Washington Times editorial board criticized “antifa-style agitators” blowing whistles “to obstruct immigration enforcement,” saying that “paid provocateurs are tracking ICE operations and deliberately interfering.” The Washington Times, [1/26/26]
Right-wing influencer Jack Posobiec lamented that “agitators” are “blowing the whistles.”Posobiec’s guest, Andrew Branca, suggested federal agents were justified in shooting Pretti, saying that “the law of self-defense doesn't require perfect decision-making,” and agents had to make decisions in a “very stressful, life-threatening, compressed timeframe.” Posobiec replied: “In reality, in this situation, what these activists have done — and by the way, what these agitators are doing on purpose and deliberately. They're blowing the whistles. They're getting in the street. They're getting in the way.” Real America’s Voice, *Human Events Daily*, [1/26/26]

MAGA media demand Trump put down the Minnesota “revolution”
Written by Matt Gertz
Published 01/30/26
A week after Border Patrol officers gunned down nurse Alex Pretti on the streets of Minneapolis, MAGA media’s biggest stars are portraying locals who oppose immigration enforcement officers’ brutal tactics as China-backed “revolutionaries” seeking “the complete overthrow of Western civilization” which they are urging President Donald Trump to put down at all costs.
Horrific videos of Pretti’s killing by masked agents of the state whose activities he had been filming spurred a backlash against the Trump administration’s immigration policy, with polls showing eroding support and some Republican officeholders and right-leaning streamers expressing dismay.
Even some commentators on Fox News, which initially plowed ahead in depraved service of the administration’s absurd argument that Pretti was a terrorist threatening the officers’ lives, backed down a bit. After Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade urged the president to send former Fox contributor and White House “border czar” Tom Homan to take control of the situation on Monday, Trump took Kilmeade’s advice, spurring premature media claims of a “pivot.”
But in this tug-of-war over the president’s brainbox, MAGA stars quickly regrouped and urged Trump not to back down, reverting to the language of war that has characterized right-wing media discussions of Minneapolis for weeks. And the tenor of their coverage has only become more disturbing over the course of the week.
Fox host Laura Ingraham, in her opening monologue Thursday night, claimed that the “mobs you've witnessed in Minnesota and in other far-left-wing pockets of America” are composed of “revolutionaries” who “smear and dehumanize as a prelude to the executions.”
Ingraham went on to argue that “behind all this” is “a national network of socialists, communists, and Marxist-Leninists” whose “goal is to destabilize the West and undermine trust in our institutions and eventually dismantle capitalism and replace it with a Marxist communist framework that eliminates private property in favor of state-owned enterprises.”
“So how do you defeat these well-funded, well-organized revolutionaries?” Ingraham asked. She replied to her own question, claiming, “We defeat the revolution by staying the course, by prosecuting criminal conspiracies to impede ICE and also their funding networks, and by reminding Americans that their safety and U.S. sovereignty will not be negotiated away, not now, not ever.”

Ingraham further argued that the anti-ICE movement has “Chinese fingerprints all over it.”
The following hour, Fox’s Jesse Watters described Minneapolis as “antifa’s new favorite city” and local protesters as an “ICE watch mafia” with its “own socialist supply lines, logistics, and financial benefactors.”
“They're calling Minnesota a testing ground for a domestic revolution,” he added. “This is more than just about immigration. It's about the complete overthrow of Western civilization.”
Democrats want “more Renee Goods and Alex Prettis,” he added. “They think if they can stack enough bodies, Trump's going to back off.”

Watters later hosted MAGA streamer Tim Pool, who argued that “the terrifying thing about Minnesota” is not that federal officers keep killing civilians, but that “we're looking at a leftist base in this country that are being radicalized.”
“My concern is that there's, there's a bloodlust” among the protesters “that's not going to be satisfied,” he added.
Watters went on to say that “there's a certain faction of the left that wants the violence” and suggested that the media “has a little bit more responsibility in situations like this to calm things down.”
Then on Sean Hannity’s program, the host likewise denounced what he termed “the well-coordinated, well-funded, quote, resistance to ICE investigations in Minnesota,” which he claimed is engaged in “an attack on our very system.”
He went on to describe Democrats’ “current anti-ICE outrage” as “pure political theater,” adding that “ultimately, they want to dissolve our borders and fundamentally transform a country and the people that they despise.”

The vitriol on Fox’s evening shows is somehow less ominous than that coming from right-wing figures off its airways, though.
Tucker Carlson, who hosts one of the nation’s most popular podcasts, argued on Wednesday’s installment that in
, “we are watching the destruction of the social fabric of the government and potentially of the nation.” He explained that the video of Pretti’s killing “represents chaos” and added: “Chaos is worse than illegal immigration. Chaos is worse than police brutality. Chaos is worse than anything. Chaos equals death. The death of people, the death of the weak, the death of countries.”
Carlson
that Minnesota activists “want the chaos,” adding: “This is proof that what you're watching is not a series of protests about immigration. What you're watching are the beginnings of a color revolution, of a kind of insurrection against federal authority.” He further claimed that if that revolution is not stopped, the result will be “civil war” and “killing at scale.”
“We have to hold the line,” Steve Bannon likewise argued on Wednesday. “There can be no de-escalation at all. You don't need to bring down the temperature. Raise the temperature. Put them under pressure. They're the ones that are cracking.”
“This is an inflection point,” he added. “You blink now and you're going to blink forever. You bend the knee now, you'll bend the knee forever. If we stand in the breach and say, screw you, we're fighting for the country, right?”
And Nick Fuentes, the increasingly prominent white nationalist streamer, argued that if the “radical intervention” Trump is overseeing does not succeed, “all of white civilization just collapses.”
“You have to put yourself in the position of your grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the year 2100 and look around at your majority-minority country that looks like South Africa, where it's just trash and graffiti and filth and homeless people and vagabonds and criminals,” Fuentes explained. “And then you have to go back in time to now when we can prevent it. And then think about what you're willing to do to stop this. And then killing a stupid fat lesbian and a male nurse doesn't seem so bad, does it?”
“Do you know what 'Sieg Heil’ even means?” he concluded. “It means ‘hail victory.’ And not to go like full Nazi or something, but there is no substitute for victory. We have to win; they have to lose.”

Joshua Haymes wants to take America "back to 1750": "I want to take us back to a time when we were 99 percent Christian."
Ryan Helfenbein says the Trump administration must act quickly and forcefully in response to the anti-ICE protest at a Minneapolis church: "Bolshevik activity was outlawed before and it's high time we enforce the law now."
David Barton is giddy over the fact that a musical about George Washington's "ring of spies" written by the wife of Rep. Marlin Stutzman will be performed at the Kennedy Center: "That tells you something of the quality of this." It certainly does.
Nick Fuentes unleashed an antisemitic rant in response to the controversy that erupted after he and several other far-right figures danced to Kanye West's "Heil Hitler" in a Miami Beach night club: "We do not care about the Holocaust!"
Finally, Lauren Witzke and Edward Szall announce that they have "huge stuff planned for 2026": "We are going to prove to the world that God is real."

ALEX JONES (HOST): Are you white pilled, red pilled, thinking reality pilled? The geopolitics of Venezuela, that versus the other things that are happening. Overall, your view on Trump, why you’ve warmed some, where would you like to see him go?
NICK FUENTES (GUEST): Well, it's clear that he has gotten the message. I know that for a fact. I know that him and his team have gotten the message and because they see the numbers. The favorability, approval numbers are all down. And it is also clear that Trump is making a concerted effort to reboot.
And there's some things I can't speak on, but they are really making an effort to get some initiative and get some momentum going. Now whether we're actually going to be see anything tangible, that is what remains to be seen —
JONES: Let me interrupt you because we don’t talk a lot off-air. I have the White House reach out a lot, and ask my opinion. I’ll leave it at that. You just kind of hinted at it — have you had them reach out to you, finally ask for your advice?
FUENTES: No. I don't talk to them directly, but we have a lot of people working in the White House.
JONES: Keep going. Sorry.
FUENTES: Yeah, but, basically so you know, I have some idea of the mood and the temperature over there, and it looks like there's a lot that is happening. You know, they brought on 12,000 ICE agents. They're increasing the detention capacity for illegals.
There seems to be, they lit a fire under some of the cabinet members to get some stuff going. So I think that they've gotten the message. There's going to be some more energy. But, again, the question is when the rubber meets the road, are they going to be able to do mass deportations? If even people like Joe Rogan are saying this is the gestapo, there's going to be huge political pressure like there was in 2018 with family separation. That was always the question is can they stick it out even when it's super unpopular?

NICK FUENTES (HOST): My only issue with ICE is you cannot perform brutality without being brutal. My problem is the brutality is fake. No, no. We want them to actually shut down the country and actually get these people out. And we want them to downplay it.
The problem is they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing. They're playing it up because they want us to think they're doing their job. And by that, I mean they're putting out these edits of ICE kicking everybody's ass because they want the base to think they're getting mass deportations when in reality the administration has no intention of doing it.
And I'm saying we need the opposite. Keep it quiet, actually put a media blackout on it, suppress how much you're doing and do a lot more of it. Shut down the whole neighborhood and just go door to door, “Citizenship, papers, please. Citizenship, papers, please. Don't have them? Get in the back.” It needs to be industrial.
So anyway, and that's a far cry from these other people that are crying about a dead protester, you know. We're trying to get 30 million fucking people out of our country. You think we're not going to step on some toes? Like, what do you think is going to happen here exactly? 30 million people are here and they don't want to go. Like, what do you think is going to happen? So the government needs to be willing and able to do what it needs to do.
…
We need decisive action from a powerful executive to radically change the country. We need like a reset, you know? The country needs to be put first and that means a lot of stuff is going to have to change. And people that don't want to lose their jobs are going to have to lose their jobs. And people that don't want to leave the country are going to have to leave the country. And the left will lash out and they need to be put in jail for it. And if they resist, well, it's what happened to George Floyd.

Nick Fuentes is the biggest beneficiary of a crowded and fractured new era of right-wing media
Why Media Matters is naming Nick Fuentes the 2025 Misinformer of the Year

This fall saw much of the right-wing media ecosystem consumed with a battle over whether the conservative movement should embrace white nationalist Nick Fuentes and his followers. That it is even a question whether Fuentes, who has been called “the most popular representative of neo-Nazism in America,” should be welcomed by the party is a grim commentary on the current media landscape.
But it’s where we find ourselves as we wrap up 2025, thanks to the perverse incentives of the online attention economy, as well as the right's continued embrace of extremism as the fractured MAGA coalition jockeys for power in a second Trump term and beyond. Fuentes is a radical with misinformed ideas, but it's his embodiment of the MAGA movement's cynical embrace of extremism in service of political power that makes him our 2025 Misinformer of the Year.
Fuentes has fearmongered about a supposed “Jewish stranglehold” over the United States and “a genocide against whites.” He hasargued that most Black people should be in prison; claimed that “Jews run everything and they worship the devil” and that “it's not just the Zionists,” even “the ones that … aren't too fond of Israel;” and suggested putting “all the towel heads” and ”all the tiny hats" on “a big luxury cruise ship or a giant Boeing 737 Max” to ”send them all right back to the Middle East." He has also said that he would like to take away women’s right to vote and claimed that “women don't age like wine, they age like milk. They don’t age like wine. That's not how their hormones work. … I gotta find my 16-year-old wife, probably when I turn 30.”
While people calling each other Nazis is as old as the internet, Fuentes’ pro-Hitler rhetoric and Holocaust denial are uniting people from the left and the right over the view that he’s exhibiting Nazi behavior.

Quickly, some background on the terminology for those unfamiliar. Groypers are “a group of extremely loyal supporters of Fuentes’ white nationalist and Christian nationalist ideology, which he describes as ‘America First.’” Fuentes’ rise is due largely to this following of groypers. The “groyper” name is based on a meme – a version of the Pepe the Frog image that became the group’s mascot around 2017. This group has been engaged in what’s known as the “groyper war,” working to infiltrate other right-wing institutions and convert them to Fuentes’ even more hard-line approach.
The most notable target of the so-called “groyper war” has been Turning Point USA, the organization led by the late Charlie Kirk that brought right-wing politics to school campuses. Fuentes has claimed over the years that “groypers” have successfully infiltrated Turning Point, and some observers agree. In June, close Fuentes watcher Will Sommer wrote a piece titled “How the Groypers Won” explaining that Kirk, facing constant pressure from Fuentes and the groypers, completely changed course on immigration, going from calling for tens of millions of new legal immigrants to advocating for more restrictions. Israel was a particular lightning rod here as well, with Fuentes and others like him taking advantage of those reacting to the horrific scenes coming out of Gaza. (I’d recommend John Ganz’ discussion with Ezra Klein for more on antisemitism and Fuentes.)
As Sommer noted, Fuentes has also managed to get “some of the Republicans’ leading thinkers” to adopt “his ideas” as well. With a contingent of the right already on board with “America First” economic and foreign policy that Trump himself also championed, the GOP was primed for some of Fuentes' more extreme positions.
After Trump announced widespread tariffs last spring, Fuentes celebrated what he called an “America First trade policy” that is “by far and away Trump's most solid issue, the most solid pillar in the America First pantheon.” The current push by Republicans to ban dual citizenship is something Fuentes has long called for, and Trump’s calls for “remigration” echo Fuentes, who saysTrump’s national security policy is “an explicit acknowledgement of white genocide.” Essentially, the “great replacement theory” has moved from white nationalist circles like Fuentes’ to mainstream Republican politics.

All of this combusted when Tucker Carlson made the entirely unsurprising decision to interview Fuentes on his streaming show. Carlson had made his Fox News show “a clearinghouse for antisemitic tropes, white nationalist talking points, and fringe-right bigots,” and things had not improved since he left Fox. Fuentes had also credited Carlson with being “brave” and “courageous” and “pulling the conversation further to the right on cultural identity and social issues all the time to a massive audience” while on Fox News. Carlson even said after the interview that Fuentes’ message is that the conservative establishment is lying to its own supporters — and that Fuentes is right about that. It’s hard not to read Carlson’s words as anything but sympathetic to the “groyper war.”
The interview sparked backlash in some of the more traditional right-wing media spaces. The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro
criticized Carlson in an episode dedicated entirely to the dispute, calling him “a terrible friend” to Kirk for hosting Fuentes. Fox’s Mark Levin said he’s “fighting like hell against the Tucker Carlsons and the Fuenteses and the Bannons and the others” who he claimed are “dancing with Hitler and Stalin and bigots and racists and segregationists.” Radio host Eric Metaxas said that the interview was “sick” and “despicable.” This is to say nothing of how things exploded even further thanks to a video of the Heritage Foundation’s Kevin Roberts defending Carlson.
One reason this interview roiled right-wing media is that there is no center of gravity in right-wing politics the way there used to be. Rush Limbaugh has been gone for years. Before his tragic assassination, Kirk was clearly a key figure uniting right-wing media and even vetting potential Trump administration staffers. He seemed in line to become the “titular head of the Republican Party,” as Limbaugh used to refer to himself. Now, without Kirk to help mediate intra-right wing disputes, right-wing media and right-wing politics in general have turned into a tinderbox.
The effort by right-wing influencers to combat Fuentes’ rising salience in right-wing politics in recent months is particularly feeble. A significant reason for this is because, as Ilya Somin has argued, “right-wing antisemitism is a predictable outgrowth of nationalism. A movement that exalts ethnic particularism and sees the world in zero-sum terms is highly likely to turn antisemitic over time.” And indeed it is the pro-Trump media voices who are having the most difficult time pushing back.
Sean Hannity called Trump supporters who praise Hitler “insane.” His colleague Mark Levin has ranted about Fuentes, saying that “Neo-Nazis, Klansmen, racists, bigots” are “not worth platforming.” (Other right-wing media figures are making similar comments.) Dinesh D’Souza argued with a straight face that Republicans should spurn Fuentes because “I've argued for a long time that Nazism, which means national socialism, is on the left.” Such “characteristically lazy” arguments appear to be failing.
Right-wing influencers’ attempts at gatekeeping when it comes to Fuentes aren’t gaining purchase in part because these same pundits have spent years telling their audience to ignore the sorts of arguments they are now making. (They are also failing in part because Fuentes’ stated ideas are not that far from their own.)
Fox News has hosted a guest with a history of making antisemitic remarks on its comedy show. Fox figures have downplayed or dismissed the presence of swastikas at right-wing events. Right-wing media have championed hard-line anti-immigrant politics for over a decade now. And right-wing figures have teamed up with and elevated people with dubious records of honesty, like Alex Jones.
Many right-wing figures also have made sure their audience knows criticism they don’t agree with is “cancel culture” (even if the reason they don’t agree is because they don’t understand it) and must be rejected at all times. And MAGA figures have validated internet conspiracy theories, even if they have direct ties to the subject of the theories.
When Fuentes first made national news — for marching at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville — then-Fox host and now Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said of the rally, “There's a reason those people were out there.” In 2021, Fox News even edited criticism of Fuentes out of a news article. (Fuentes thanked them.)
Perhaps most importantly, the MAGA project is organized to create
and by the fringes. The influencers and the administration work in concert to “discredit Trump’s rivals and amplify his administration’s talking points and false claims, blurring boundaries between official messaging and private-sector news and opinion.”
Whatever the intent of all of this, few have benefited the way Nick Fuentes has.
Where Trump was skilled at exploiting television for gain, Fuentes is skilled at exploiting the internet for gain. Fuentes has managed to combine this understanding with anti-establishment messaging that resonates with an audience that already had an appetite for it.
Jay Caspian Kang concluded an essay he wrote for The New Yorker about Fuentes by distinguishing him from those like Milo Yiannopoulos and Richard Spencer who treaded similar ground previously. He wrote that Fuentes “seems to understand that all norms in political commentary have been destroyed and the game is now to position yourself in opposition to anything that even sniffs of the establishment.”
He added: “This is directly connected to the medium that has aided his rise, and it should worry us even more than it already does. After all, how do you stop something like this without turning off the internet?”
During their annual joint livestream, Spencer credited Fuentes with “a tremendous change” and a “sea change when it comes to young conservatives,” claiming “I think you caused a lot of it. I think you're riding the wave of other things that you didn't cause, but that you're almost like a representative of this."

Fuentes’ recent podcast tour is instructive. Skipping over legacy right-wing media spaces like Fox News and Newsmax, he appeared on a number of right-leaning online shows this year, including some that aren’t ostensibly political. This list includes the shows of Patrick Bet-David, Glenn Greenwald, Russell Brand, and Piers Morgan. And of course, there was the interview with Carlson, which Fuentes subsequently called “so friendly.”
Fuentes has also appeared with streamers like Adin Ross, Sneako, and the Nelk Boys, giving him a chance to regale an audience of often young men with friendly banter. More are likely coming, as Asmongold, a streamer with one of the largest and fastest-growing channels on YouTube in 2025, has said he’ll eventually collaborate with Fuentes. And Asmongold has been blunt about why, saying: “Nick brings in views. ... That's why he gets invited.”
He’s correct on that. Fuentes does bring in numbers for these shows.
According to a Media Matters analysis, Fuentes has appeared on at least 20 right-wing and right-leaning online shows since July, and his appearances on these shows have garnered at least 28.4 million views on YouTube, Rumble, and Kick.
For some of these shows, including The Tucker Carlson Show, PBD Podcast, Raw Talk, and Dave Smith's Part of the Problem, the videos with Fuentes are among their most viewed. On Carlson's channel, the interview with Fuentes is one of the top five most viewed videos. And just hours after Piers Morgan livestreamed a contentious interview with Fuentes, the video had already jumped to the fifth most-viewed livestream on Morgan's channel, and it has since become the most-viewed livestream.
Some voices on the right see this happening and demand harsher questions to Fuentes in the interviews or claim that Fuentes is somehow hiding his noxious views when he’s on other podcasts and that hosts need to call him on it. But they seem to misunderstand the medium and the incentives involved.
Fuentes is truly of the internet; he knows that the real currency is attention, at all costs. A harsh interview now may well lead to a soft interview later. It’s all part of the wash. For Fuentes' part, the new attention from right-leaning shows is paying off.
Fuentes’ popularity appears to be accelerating. Search mentions of Nick Fuentes have been spiking in the country. Since early June, Fuentes has added nearly 450,000 followers on his Rumble channel, a roughly 300% increase from 150,000 followers in June to nearly 600,000.
There are good-faith skeptics in terms of Fuentes’ popularity. Some have pointed out that his engagement may be inauthentic and the volume of social mentions of Fuentes is underwhelming. I have no reason to doubt their findings, but in my view it is missing the forest for the trees. President Donald Trump reportedly hired actors to cheer for him in Trump Tower when he launched his first presidential campaign. The fake supporters didn’t stop him from winning two elections. Fuentes similarly benefits even if the support is fake. In this media environment, the appearance of support is often more important than the support itself.
Fuentes is in other ways a completely different sort of figure than Trump. Whereas Trump loves to talk about how much he loves his followers, Fuentes appears to hate many of his — or at least has no problem bickering with those among them that he doesn't find useful.
Part of what makes Fuentes who he is is his political vision and dedication. He’s not firstly concerned with increasing the number of views of his streaming show or becoming the most mentioned host on social media. He’s focused on maintaining his movement and growing as a political force.
There are some questioning whether Fuentes is “filling the void” after Kirk’s death, but I don’t think that’s quite right, at least in the way that Kirk did. Filling the void would mean trying to advance the interests of the GOP establishment by meditating between various factions. That does not seem like the type of power Fuentes has much interest in, at least for now. (Though he is notably among the various figures on the right criticizing Candace Owens’ conspiracy theories about Kirk’s murder.)
Instead, he’s mostly taking advantage of the power vacuum to get more supporters for himself and advance his political vision. And to do that, he needs to keep waging war on the Republican elites and the right-wing establishment to which he says Trump and his MAGA media allies have largely capitulated. As Eamon Whalen wrote, “Kirk said it was his life’s mission to smooth the divisions within the conservative movement. Fuentes wants to inflame them."
Fuentes launched a “Groyper War Two” aimed at Donald Trump and JD Vance in the midst of the 2024 campaign. Initially dismissed as something of a failure, it instead put Fuentes at the front of the line on the right as Trump’s second term headed toward lame duck territory — after all, most of the competitors in that sort of space had tied their fortunes to Trump’s. David Gilbert wrote in WIRED that “his influence has skyrocketed, despite—or perhaps because of—his criticism of Trump’s failed campaign promises around the Epstein case and mass deportations, as well as his support for Israel."
The current fragmented right-wing ecosystem will bring all the potential audience Fuentes could ever want right to him. He just needs to be there, as the alternative to whoever people perceive to be the right-wing establishment.
Fuentes himself says as much. In a recent stream, he argued:
Everybody got as radical as me, so that by the time I became uncensored, it was a match. By the time I became uncensored, there was a general public that had an appetite for it already. I maybe didn't even necessarily make them red-pilled. I didn't make them racist, sexist, the rest of it. They were those things.
They had an appetite for those things. They had those feelings. They had those thoughts. And then I was allowed on Instagram, and I simply said them out loud. And for that, I became extremely popular this year.
Fuentes realizes that by keeping the hard line, he will remain the center of gravity to this group. And that will keep him and his political project on track.
And to be clear, this is a political project, not just a streaming effort. Caspian Kang writes in his New Yorker piece:
Part of what separates Fuentes from his fellow-streamers is that he is capable of keeping his thoughts in a coherent, if odious, order. He once offered a trollish, occasionally captivating, and always grossly bigoted hour-long act; that has evolved into something more like a daily address, one that presents a code of behavior and a set of distinct ideas. As recently as a year ago, I’m not sure I could have told you what Fuentes thought about anything outside of his hatred of minorities, gays, and Jewish people. Today, he has developed a vile but discernible vision for the U.S.—something few of his predecessors in the role of far-right boogeyman have been able to do.
…
Crucially, Fuentes has become one of Donald Trump’s most ardent critics on the right. He repeatedly tells a story about a nation of young men in flyover country who believed that Trump would realize a new vision of America and who now have been betrayed. These young men, as Fuentes put it recently, are looking at China and the United Arab Emirates and asking why America couldn’t build “world wonders” and “peaceful” cities. Their interest in MAGA was both industrial and quasi-socialist: they believed that Trump would drain the swamp and bring new legislators to Washington, D.C., who would restore manufacturing jobs, and that America, a failing empire, would “draft” people like them, devastated by poverty and the opioid epidemic and general aimlessness, back to work. All that was a lie, Fuentes now says. Trump has been in or around the heart of political power for more than a decade, and, according to Fuentes, is a sellout who has been bought by the oligarchy. Only Fuentes is willing to put America first.
As Trump’s polling inches lower and lower — and he gets older and older — this analysis only becomes more salient.
You can see this in how some politicians and right-wing institutions seem to be afraid of confronting Fuentes because they need the support of groypers. Trump, who infamously dined with Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, defended Carlson following the Fuentes interview, and Vice President JD Vance allegedly pointed to the downside of attacking Fuentes — even after Fuentes attacked Vance’s wife. Fuentes has taken victory laps over Vance’s reluctance, calling it the “groyper squeeze."
Fuentes is not going away. It’s not even clear that there’s anywhere to go. If he did have a sudden and complete change of heart, renounced politics, and moved to the other side of the globe tomorrow, it would be all too easy for someone to take his place. The playbook isn’t that difficult to learn, and there’s clearly at least some people ready to follow his lead. We’re already seeing “Nick Fuentes clones” popping up in right-wing media.
There’s no shortage of people discussing their experiences with the rising number of groypers on college campuses, and polling and anecdotal reports support the notion that the group is growing.
Yale University’s fall 2025 youth poll found “extremely conservative” voters are more likely than those of other ideologies to agree with statements commonly considered antisemitic.

A Manhattan Institute poll found that “nearly four in ten” current GOP voters “believe the Holocaust was greatly exaggerated or did not happen as historians describe” and that “younger men are especially likely to hold this view.”
Right-wing writer Rod Dreher has claimed “something like 30 to 40 percent of DC GOP staffers under the age of 30 are Groypers.” His numbers are impossible to fact-check, and others on the right
disagreed with them, some vociferously. Fuentes, for his part, has made similarly sweeping claims. He also admits that the uncertainty is a tactical advantage, saying, “We want them to have no clue how many Groypers there are, where they are, who they are. We want them to be completely in the dark.”
Paul Ingrassia, nominated to a key position by the White House before his nomination was withdrawn following a scandal regarding a comment about his “Nazi streak” and then subsequently given another position, was spotted in 2024 at a Fuentes rally.
Joe Kent, currently the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, confessed in 2022 that he previously had a strategic phone call with Fuentes but claimed no further association. Kent’s confession reportedly came after Fuentes had bragged about the call on a livestream.
Fuentes has ties to other influential people on the right as well.
The sheer volume of right-wing figures sounding the alarm about Fuentes also underscores that there is some truth to Dreher’s claim of big numbers of groypers among young Washington staffers. As Ben Burgis noted in reference to the “father of American Nazis,” back in the day “no one was arguing about whether the percentage of young Eisenhower staffers who were fans of George Lincoln Rockwell was in the single or double digits.”
This is headed nowhere good. The redistricting dance that has gone on will only make lower-turnout primaries more important and arguably make it easier to get more Fuentes allies into Congress. (You may recall when the QAnon conspiracy theory and election denial infiltrated MAGA and the GOP.)
In a recent episode, Fuentes called on America First candidates to run for office and pressure Republicans, saying, “What if they voted as a block, and they were not loyal to the Republican Party, they were not loyal to Trump, they were not loyal to Israel? … What if the Electoral College comes down 269-269? You’re going to need every electoral vote that you can get. What if an America First spoiler candidate runs in a presidential election and maybe they win two or three of those states? … We’re looking to fundamentally replace the GOP." Sommer points to a Florida gubernatorial candidate running on “an overtly groyper platform.” Fuentes has said the candidate “seems cool.”
Fuentes has also said that he sees his role as shaping people who find him and inspiring what comes next:
Fuentes’ disdain for many of his supporters appears to have no impact on his popularity, but the 27-year-old is clear that what he refers to as the “grug-level” supporters are not what is needed in order for his movement to take control. Instead, Fuentes speaks about attracting “elite human capital,” supporters who will then become part of an “officer class” of “super intelligent, entrepreneurial” people.
“Once we get 1,000, 5,000 of those guys, those are going to be the party officials, party apparatics as an analogy,” Fuentes said. “I'm kind of interested in inspiring those people, indoctrinating those people. They watch a show, they get the ideas, they get the inspiration, they kind of take a project into their own hands."
There appears to be at least some audience for what they would create. Jeffrey Epstein associate Steve Bannon talked on his podcast with a pollster who said young MAGA voters are looking for “their Franco” — referring to Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. We’ve seen similar sentiments in right-wing media before. One right-wing streamer made a positive remark about Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet while interviewing Fuentes. On Fox News, host Jesse Watters said last year that you have to be a dictator to get things done in Washington, D.C. And in 2021, a radio host told Tucker Carlson that the right would pick a “fascist” within the next two decades to take “drastic measures.” Earlier this year while discussing Trump’s military parade, Fuentes gave what he called a “Roman salute” and said, “We need a real dictator.”
Should that disastrous moment come, Fuentes is unlikely to be that dictator. Indeed, some are pointing out that in such a scenario, Fuentes would essentially be a useful idiot. But in the meantime, he’s priming the pump and giving that audience targets to lash out at.
Some may say that Fuentes is straightforward about his positions — after all, he is very clear in his racism, antisemitism, misogyny, and so on. We at Media Matters believe that this is bigotry and that it falls under the umbrella of misinformation, but the reason Fuentes was chosen as 2025's Misinformer of the Year goes further.
Fuentes’ core message is that Trump is presenting a watered-down version of what should be done to the country, and that the only true way to benefit America is through even more repression, even more hate, even more division, and by putting cowards like him in positions of absolute power. In an era filled with lies, Fuentes' idea that these retrograde beliefs will somehow lead to a utopian version of America stands out.
It might be the biggest lie of them all.

We interacted with Nick Fuentes content on TikTok. What happened next was horrifying.
Written by Olivia Little
Published 12/19/25
TikTok’s recommendation algorithm quickly turned our For You page into a cesspool of pro-Nazi content after interaction with Nick Fuentes videos.
Fuentes, a white nationalist streamer and Media Matters' pick for 2025 Misinformer of the Year, is technically banned from numerous platforms. Nevertheless, clips from his show and interviews regularly circulate on social media.
To test what sorts of recommendations a user who sought out Fuentes content might subsequently receive, Media Matters documented a TikTok “For You” page after searching for and interacting with Fuentes videos. We were served an array of videos promoting Holocaust denial, Nazi iconography, and white supremacist groups.
In theory, Fuentes is banned from TikTok. Searches for “Nick Fuentes” or his affiliated “Groypers” (the name given to a loose network of white nationalist trolls who follow Fuentes) return no video results; instead, a community guidelines message notes that “this phrase may be associated with hateful behavior.” However, Media Matters research going back to 2022 shows Fuentes’ fans to be seasoned experts when it comes to dodging moderation and religiously uploading his content in an effort to reach larger audiences.
Despite his ban, accessing Fuentes content on TikTok isn’t difficult. Intentional misspellings, as recommended by TikTok’s suggested search when a user begins to type his name, retrieve videos of Fuentes.
For this analysis, Media Matters documented and assessed the content delivered to a TikTok account’s FYP after engaging with Nick Fuentes content.
First, we conducted the following search queries:
“nick fuentues"
“nick fuentas"
“piers nick”
“tucker nick”
For each search, we “liked” and fully watched the first five results. After that, we began our FYP scroll and documented notable videos. Our feed was almost immediately inundated with extremely hateful content.
Here’s a glimpse at our FYP after interacting with Fuentes content
Holocaust denial
Our account was repeatedly fed videos denying that 6 million Jewish people were killed in the Holocaust. These videos often referenced a competing, debunked claim that the death toll was actually 271,000, a number commonly cited by Holocaust deniers to downplay the genocide.
271, Holocaust denial
One video using the expanding brain meme format (which illustrates the progression of ideas from primitive to advanced), described those who believe the Holocaust death count was 6 million as “Low iq normies.” The highest tier of supposed enlightenment, “Based Chad,” was seemingly a threat to Jewish people: “We will try again AND succeed.”
Threat, TT
Nazi symbols and slogans
We also observed videos containing Nazi imagery and slogans. For example, one user wore and advertised a mask featuring SS Lightning Bolts, a neo-Nazi symbol derived from Nazi Germany.
SS mask, TT
The phrase “the sun will rise again” has been weaponized to “covertly endorse Nazi ideology and white supremacy.” We were fed videos displaying a variation of this phrase, “The sun is rising,” with comments on the videos seemingly confirming their reference to Nazi Germany.
The sun is rising, TT
Images of the sonnenrad, or “black sun” — an ancient European symbol appropriated by Nazis — also featured in videos.
Black Sun, TT
White nationalist groups
TikTok’s algorithm also served our account white nationalist recruitment videos. The first came from the White Awakening Movement, an account that instructed white Americans to “stay strong” and encouraged white users to direct message the account for additional details on the movement.
WAM, TT
WAM’s account posts videos with phrases like “save your race!” and “join white.” Its account bio includes two thunderbolt emojis, seemingly a reference to SS lightning bolts, and the text reads, “Unification of our people is a step away!!”
WAM account, TT
The other group, posting under the moniker NOVANowUSA, was the National Organization for Vital Action, which promotes “WHITE UNITY.”
NOVA Now, TT
The group’s website claims it is a nonprofit organization cultivating a “genuine pro-White community.”

White nationalists Richard Spencer and Nick Fuentes highlight the failures of Trump and the GOP while celebrating a surge in support for their worldview
Spencer credited Fuentes with a “sea change when it comes to young conservatives,” saying, “The kids are on your side”
Written by Jack Wheatley
Published 12/17/25
During their annual joint livestream, white nationalists Richard Spencer and Nick Fuentes criticized President Donald Trump's policies and governance, bemoaned the state of the Republican Party, and cheered the continuing shift of conservative discourse in favor of Spencer and Fuentes' ideology, crediting Fuentes as well as a failing Trump administration.
Fuentes described the Trump White House as “a criminal enterprise” and a “total failure in terms of governance.”
Fuentes questioned whether Vice President JD Vance will “be with the Jews or … with the groypers”; Spencer claimed the GOP “fumbled” Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s death, which could have been a “Reichstag fire of sorts”; and Spencer used YouTuber Brett Cooper’s latest refusal to disavow Fuentes as an example that “the kids are on your side.”
Here are some of the most notable moments of the interview:
Key moments
### 1. Richard Spencer claimed the “conservative movement has somehow blown the Charlie Kirk death”
At the onset of their conversation, Spencer claimed the “conservative movement has somehow blown the Charlie Kirk death” and argued it “fumbled” what could have been “a Reichstag fire of sorts.” Fuentes agreed, suggesting it was an “extraordinary missed opportunity” to crack down on the left.

RICHARD SPENCER: Just to give my, I guess, opinion before I ask the question. I feel like the conservative movement has somehow blown the Charlie Kirk death in a way that is almost unbelievable.
It was almost like a giant W was delivered to them on a silver platter, and they have fumbled it. And let me give a few reasons why they've done that. They're not really talking about political violence and the left so much as they are talking — they're trying to sanctify Charlie Kirk, basically. So it all becomes some special thing about Charlie. That he was uniquely wonderful, and that's why they killed him and so on. The Erica Kirk ongoing media tour is fine once, twice it becomes a little old, and on her 14th appearance crying, I find it unbearable and cringe and weird, to be honest. And I don't think I'm alone in that. I think everyone is reacting like that to it.
When Charlie Kirk was killed, there was a lot of tough talk on the dissident right of, you know, I heard this all over the place, “We've got two weeks to crack down. We can destroy the left right now. They hate you. They want to kill you. They want you starving and blah blah blah blah.”
You heard all of that, and it does seem like he missed his moment. It's almost like during – I mean, to use a analogy that I might regret, it's almost like there was a Reichstag fire of sorts, and Hitler decided that he wanted to roast marshmallows as opposed to engaging the Enabling Act. What are some of your thoughts on this in terms of Charlie, what's happened with the right, the response, and all of that?
NICK FUENTES: Yeah. I totally agree. I had the exact same feeling, and I've been thinking about that for the past couple of weeks. It's an extraordinary missed opportunity because, like you said, it's handed to us on a silver platter. Here's a liberal Democrat, goes to a free speech campus event, shoots the number one guy.
And instead of that being the narrative, which is crack down on the left — and it's not like that's unprecedented either. Obama did it, Biden did it, whether it was January 6 or Sandy Hook. Whenever there's a mass casualty event or a tragedy, they very effectively weaponize the bureaucracy, whether they do the backdoor gun control or they get everybody with the DOJ, they always use it to expand liberal power, create a new agency, whatever.
And there was a lot of tough talk like that from certain sections, like Stephen Miller had a speech at the Charlie Kirk WrestleMania memorial, and he goes up and he goes, “You are nothing. You don't build anything.” And he's talking to, like, the anarchists.
SPENCER: Right.
FUENTES: And that's really what all of this is. It's all that and signifying nothing. The sound and fury signifying nothing. All the anger, the performative cruelty. We could just “do things,” and, “You're going back. You've got 50 days.” And, it's just — you might as well have Mitt Romney as president. You might as well have Ron DeSantis. I mean, it's totally toothless.
### 2. Nick Fuentes: “The right wing is going to devour itself”
Criticizing various factions within the MAGA movement, Fuentes claimed the response to Kirk’s death “speaks to how the contradictions of MAGA are going to destabilize the right wing when Trump is gone.” He said 2028 is “going to be wide open,” questioned whether Vance is “going to be with the Jews or … with the groypers,” and claimed: “The right wing is going to devour itself.”

NICK FUENTES: And I would say maybe to add onto that, it's interesting where it went instead, which is — that was sort of like part one is the sanctification of Charlie Kirk, and he ascended into heaven and everything. But part two is this Candace Owens — we have to talk about the psychosis and this sort of like QAnon on steroids. Like, it went into a direction where it turned inwardly on itself. And I think this speaks to how the contradictions of MAGA are going to destabilize the right wing when Trump is gone.
You're getting, like, a preview because the Trump movement is filled with contradictions and sort of unresolved conflict between, like, the base and the establishment or the donors. And he's been holding it together through the strength of his charisma and his personality. You know, all the contradictions or compromises are washed away. These people just defer to him. They kick it up to him.
And that's really where Charlie Kirk derived his credibility. He was like a Trump sycophant, a Trump glazer, Trump ally, whatever. And with Charlie out of the picture and soon to be Trump out of the picture, it's like you're starting to see now that 2028 is on the horizon, there's, like, all this conflict about, you know, is Erika Kirk an alien or is she a grieving widow? Is, like, you know, is JD Vance going to be with the Jews or is he going to be with the groypers?
So I think it's pointing toward the right wing is going to devour itself, and you got chaos on the left, and now you're going to have total chaos on the right. ‘28’s going to be wide open. So that's sort of what I would add to it is how it seems to be eating itself now.
### 3. Spencer and Fuentes deeply criticized Trump, with Fuentes saying the administration has been “a criminal enterprise” and a “total failure in terms of governance”
Spencer claimed the right “never can rule” and Fuentes said the administration has “been a complete failure, total failure in terms of governance.” Fuentes also described the Trump administration as “a criminal enterprise” that “seems to be all about their personal enrichment” and stated that “there is something inherently destructive about Trumpism.” He added, “I don't know that the Republican Party will survive when Trump does not deliver on anything.”

RICHARD SPENCER: What I'm getting at here is that there does seem to be an asymmetry between left and right in those ways. And there's also this way in which the right can't rule, and it never can rule because it's always the kids at the kids table as opposed to the adults table. It's always the people outside of the restaurant smoking a cigarette, theorizing about how the restaurant is secretly poisoning you, as opposed to the people in the restaurant and the customers and the wait staff and the chef. They, like, you can't have Kash Patel as the FBI director, someone who declared that he wanted to destroy the FBI and make it into a museum. You can't — the outsider can't be the insider. And so, it's almost like inevitably going to turn out this way, where in order to truly reflect and represent the base, you have conspiracy theorists in office. And they're almost, you know, investigating themselves or, like, denouncing themselves. There's this chaotic energy to the right that was amplified by Trumpism that was there in 2016 and I think is even more powerful now. And it just — on some psychic level, it can actually never govern anything.
NICK FUENTES: Yeah. I think there's a lot of truth to that, and you can even tell in terms of how the Trump movement has completely failed to institutionalize any of its reforms. You know, I think that when you look across the board, even these guys like Claremont, let's say, or DOGE that came in with all these PayPal mafia people, is any of that going to be around in a couple of years? Is any of that going to be around after Trump leaves office? I don't think so. I think the ball is going to fall back squarely into the lap of the old guard institutions that hung around, maybe that didn't go crazy. And so, I think you're right.
There is something inherently destructive about Trumpism. It almost seems like, you know, maybe in a roundabout way, they were kind of right about how he, in the end, is going to tank everything, is going to destroy everything. Because you look at where Trump is now, his approval's in the toilet, favorability's in the toilet on all the issues.
And what's more, it's not just that it's conspiracy theorists in the government, but it's like a criminal enterprise, which almost no one's talking about, but they're all looting. And that's really what Charlie Kirk was doing. That's really what Turning Point was is it was like a nonprofit that was hiring contractors that were owned by the board members of the nonprofit. It was just, like, kind of facilitating, it was just like this graft in the same way that the Trump administration with, like, Howard Lutnick and Steve Witkoff and David Sacks, these guys are like, it seems to be like criminals. It seems to be all about their personal enrichment. And I think that the Epstein files is a really good example of that. I think this relationship with Netanyahu and Trump is a good example of that. And not least of all because it's, you know, Jewish or Israeli, but because it shows how the state is just being turned inside out and used by these, like, clearly conflict-of-interest-type people.
And I don't know that the Republican Party will survive when Trump does not deliver on anything. In three years, what's going to be the excuse? You know, in 2020, you could say, well, we had the pandemic, and we need four more years to keep America great. But OK, you got your second shot. You fought back. You learned your lesson, whatever. OK. In three years, if we have a bad economy, we're still at war with Russia, if there's not actually measurable results, and all that happened was, like, rank corruption and disappointment and embarrassment, I don't know that there's going to be a salvageable party.
And you'll see that play out in the primary between someone like — you'll see it in the contradictions in someone like Vance, where Vance is going to try to be everything to everybody. And I don't think he's going to be able to – that's not going to hold together. I think that you're going to wind up with somebody maybe like Rubio or DeSantis, or you're going to wind up, in other words, with like a refortified center right actually. And so, so, yeah. I tend to agree. I think that the whole thing has been a complete failure, total failure in terms of governance.
### 4. Spencer to Fuentes: “The kids are on your side”
Spencer described “a tremendous change” and a “sea change when it comes to young conservatives,” specifically crediting Fuentes. He also said that Brett Cooper’s latest refusal to disavow Fuentes is an example showing that “the kids are on your side.”

RICHARD SPENCER: The last time you were here, we definitely talked about this, of this sea change when it comes to young conservatives. And I think you caused a lot of it. I think you're riding the wave of other things that you didn't cause, but that you're almost like a representative of this. But just speaking as an older man, I could not imagine Brett Cooper being asked, like, “Do you denounce David Duke?” and her kind of like squirming and — “Well, not exactly. I don't want to denounce anyone, and I disagree here and there, but.” Like, I — it would have just been a flat, “He's evil.” And I'm just — I'm not trying to pick on her by any stretch. I'm just using her as an example of the kids are on your side, and it's been a tremendous change. I think kids in general, left-wing kids are even more anti-Israel, but there actually has been a change.
### 5. Spencer: Donald Trump Jr, JD Vance, and others “want to have their cake and eat it too” with respect to Israel
Spencer also claimed that some in right-wing media and politics, including Vice President JD Vance, are attempting to “have their cake and eat it too” by trying to appeal to anti-Israel ideology while enacting pro-Israeli policies. He claimed Vance is trying to “benefit from the energy that pushes against Israel, pushes against Jewish influence altogether. But then they want to have policies that counter it.” He also argued that disavowing Fuentes may be disadvantageous for future candidates, arguing: “You don’t want to countersignal the kids online, many of whom are saying things that you can’t, many of whom are saying things that push directly against Israel.”

RICHARD SPENCER: So in 2016, the alt-right was pretty unique in being willing to criticize Israel or delve into, quote, antisemitism. That was a new thing that what you would see in among older figures like, say, David Duke, for example, but even he didn't stress that kind of thing when he was running for office. He sounded a lot like a Republican, in fact. But the alt-right going out there, that was something really unique. And I feel like the dam has broken with these young kids.
…
So with someone like Vance, he — even though he has denounced you in some way. He denounced me actually very early on, but that was in a different variation. He had a different name at the time, was sort of a friend of Barack Obama, and who knew — but how does someone like that navigate it?
Because it's not just Brett Cooper. It's Donald Trump Jr. It's JD Vance. They want to benefit from the energy that pushes against Israel, pushes against Jewish influence altogether. But then they want to have policies that counter it. They want to have their cake and eat it too. And do you think that they're going to even be able to navigate it?
And just one more thing just to set the conversation off. One of these, like, former aerobics instructors who's now a commentator, she was saying like, “Unless you denounce Nick Fuentes, you will lose. You'll get 10% of the vote. Everyone might — .” And I'm like, I'm not just saying that because you're here and we're friendly. I don't think that's even true. And it might be something closer to the opposite now, where you don't want to countersignal the kids online, many of whom are saying things that you can't, and many of whom are saying things that push directly against Israel.
### 6. Fuentes criticized the implementation of Trump’s tariff policy as “totally incompetent” and alleged his failure will cause the right to “all go down with the ship”
Spencer and Fuentes specifically criticized Trump's tariff policy, with Spencer calling the rollout “absurd” and Fuentes adding that Trump’s implementation was “totally incompetent,” “totally disorganized,” and “sloppy.” Spencer said Trump’s approach on tariffs seems “haphazard and about deal-making on an almost personal level, where I don't think it's going to accomplish anything.” Spencer also said that there was “no rationale to give Trump the benefit of the doubt” on tariffs, and Fuentes expressed concern that Trump's failures on tariffs and other policies will “actually just fortif[y] that center-left liberalism,” claiming, “We all go down with the ship.”

RICHARD SPENCER: I can remember throughout my career in paleo-conservatism, there was always some guy who would come up and talk about tariffs and trade policy and industrial policy and so on.
…
I'm sympathetic toward this idea, and it almost seems like this idea has been ruined for a generation. The rollout was absurd. They're tariffing coffee that we can't even make here. They're just — there's no real industrial policy, like there was to a degree with the CHIP Act. There's no industrial policy of like let's not just collect money from importers, but let's actually create an industry by subsidizing it, making it a national priority.
It does seem to be like Trump wants to brag about collecting money from tariffs and wants to make deals with other countries. You know, we're going to slap 40% on you. Oh, you come give us something. We'll take it down, maybe bring it up. It seems haphazard and about deal-making on an almost personal level where I don't think it's going to accomplish anything, and there's been no evidence — now granted, it's just been a year — but there's no evidence that this is actually improving our manufacturing base. Manufacturing continues to decline. And there — I've actually heard one justification of it of, you know, if you want to build, say, a couch with leather or something like that, you'll bring in the leather, it gets tariffed, you put it on a couch. It's a few-step process. If you're going to build a car or a computer, this is something that includes thousands of moving parts. Do you want to tariff each and every one of those things as they come in and build it here? No, you want to build it out there and then just tariff it once. It's, if anything, just simpler.
So there seems to be no rationale to give Trump the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he wants an America of manufacturing and tariffs and unions even and coal miners and whatever, in some dreamy vision of his childhood. But if there's no policy, you sort of destroy the idea in a way. Because if their — if the AI investment bonanza is what is promoting the stock market, it's what — it's how the economy is limping on. If that pops and stuff is just more expensive, then these ideas, which, again, I'm sympathetic toward the ideas, maybe less so now. But these ideas are going to be ruined forever by this man. And I think, actually, that is sad.
…
NICK FUENTES: Like you said, the way that the tariffs have been carried out, it's like everything else. It's totally incompetent, totally disorganized, it's sloppy. It seems like it's more aimed at satisfying the approval ratings, checking off a box, than it is actually about a serious transformation of the economy. Because that's really what this entails. If you're going to turn into a mercantilist or a protectionist economy, you're totally changing the structure of what America's economy is in the mix. Going from, like, 10% productive sector to 25%, you know, having an economy dominated by finance, insurance, and real estate to actual manufacturing, that would involve, like, a wholesale change, tariffs, subsidies, a new tariff schedule.
…
And what's going to happen is if or when this doesn't work out, this will be scapegoated and blamed. And people will say, remember the tariffs that wrecked the economy? Remember — We tried that. It didn't work. And then it's almost like it would have been better if we never tried it at all than if we tried it and did it the wrong way, and then we get blamed for it.
And I feel that way about the whole enterprise actually, about the whole thing. Because it's like Trump represents not just that, but also the nativist agenda, the isolationism, or America First, whatever, all these different policies. If it's a failure, we all go down with the ship, and it actually just fortifies that center-left liberalism.

AN 12 25
In a November 20 column, conservative Washington Post opinion writer Marc A. Thiessen — best known for his frequent appearances on Fox News — sounded the alarm about white nationalist Nick Fuentes' relationship with the Republican Party and the MAGA movement. Thiessen warned Republicans that they will suffer politically if they don't distance themselves from "overt racists" like Fuentes.
Thiessen wrote, "Tucker Carlson's effort to bring neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes into the mainstream of the conservative movement is not only morally reprehensible; it is a path to political suicide for the right. Those defending or excusing Carlson's sane-washing of Fuentes need to ask themselves a simple question: Do they want to be a majoritarian movement or not?"
But in an article published on December 13, The Atlantic's Ali Breland laments that Fuentes is expanding, not reducing, his outreach.
Fuentes has a show that airs on the far-right Rumble online. Breland spent 12 hours watching it, and one of the journalist's takeaways is that Fuentes' "momentum" is real.
"Since Fuentes appeared on Tucker Carlson's podcast at the end of October," Breland explains, "Republican leaders have started to ask themselves just how much sway he has over the party. Fuentes has built an army of fans, who call themselves 'Groypers,' and his style of bigoted trolling has become the lingua franca of the young, ascendant right. Each episode I watched garnered at least 1 million views on Rumble. Fuentes has attracted attention for years, but as he's quick to remind his audience, he's operated from the fringes, pounding on the doors of mainstream conservatism and meeting fierce condemnation."
Breland adds, "Now, Fuentes has momentum — and based on what I saw, he's laying the groundwork to go even bigger."
The Atlantic staffer notes that Fuentes show on Rumble is "at the core of his political project."
"Each episode, after finishing his monologue, Fuentes begins a second segment: a mailbag-esque 'super chat' during which, for a minimum fee of $20, his fans can ask him questions," Breland observes. "Fuentes' financial situation is opaque, but he seems to bring in a significant amount of money from listener questions. I saw him receive sums as large as $1000 from a single donor, identified only by the username Zion_Don, who donated on four of the five nights I watched. In one episode, Fuentes accidentally shared his screen with the audience, revealing that he had made at least $5192 in the span of a few hours."
Breland adds, "The chat is just one of his several revenue streams. Fuentes repeatedly encouraged his audience to buy merch, including a $40 t-shirt that displays his face on the back…. Night after night, I watched Fuentes lay out his strategy for maintaining his momentum…. Fuentes has already infiltrated the right. Now, he's trying to make his movement a permanent fixture of it."

Over the summer, Fuentes declared: “I’ve never seen the right wing so angry and so explicitly against mass migration, so close to expressing their disdain in racial terms. … The groypers have won. It’s just not even a question at this point.”
Written by Jack Wheatley
Published 12/04/25
President Donald Trump and his administration have seemingly embraced a far-right immigration policy known as “remigration” — a term associated with forced migration, mass deportations, and ethnic cleansing. Statements from the administration echo white nationalist streamer and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, who has repeatedly called for a shutdown of all immigration and boasted of the right's shift “against mass migration.”
On November 27, Trump posted on Truth Social that he would “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover,” adding, “Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation.” Trump’s latest comments come after the Department of Homeland Security publicly called for immigrants to “remigrate,” Trump’s State Department announced the opening of an “Office of Remigration” in April, and Trump pledged during his 2024 presidential campaign to “revoke deportation immunity, suspend refugee resettlement, and return Kamala’s illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration).”
“Remigration” refers to a far-right policy that calls for “returning immigrants to their native lands in what amounts to a soft-style ethnic cleansing” by forcibly deporting non-white immigrants. According to The Washington Post, the term was popularized by far-right Austrian political activist Martin Sellner, who has called to “end the migrant invasion of America” and praised Trump for invoking the term during the 2024 presidential campaign. Some in the far right have adopted the term, often invoking the so-called “great replacement” conspiracy theory and suggesting remigration as a way maintain a white majority.
Fuentes, who has been making the rounds on a number of prominent right-leaning streaming shows with millions of views, has advocated against immigrants for years. Over that time, he has declared that “the First Amendment was not written for Muslims, by the way,” but “was intended for citizens, not for immigrants”; stated that if he were president, “tens of millions” of undocumented immigrants would “have to be returned because they have no legal standing here”; and argued that America was not designed “with a multiracial religiously pluralistic society in mind” and until the 1960s it was “almost all white, all Christian.”
Fuentes has also celebrated right-wing media figures and politicians who have embraced the idea of an end to all immigration or even remigration, boasting in June that “I've never seen the right wing so angry and so explicitly against mass migration, so close to expressing their disdain in racial terms.” He added: “I've noticed people like Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh are now calling for an immigration moratorium. That means they want to shut down all immigration. And suffice to say, the groypers have won. It's just not even a question at this point.”

From the June 9, 2025, edition of America First, streamed on Rumble
In October, Fuentes also lauded the administration following New York Times reporting that it would give “preference to English speakers, white South Africans and Europeans who oppose migration,” which Fuentes summed up as “white refugees.” He also added a critique of the White House’s proposal, saying: “It’s great stuff, but it’s just not enough,” comparing it to “a school pizza party slice of pizza. It’s like you get like a narrow, like little slice of pizza.” He stated: “We need more detention centers. We need more militarization of the cities. Like, bring in the National Guard everywhere.”
In reaction to Trump's Truth Social post about “reverse migration,” Fuentes said that “this is awesome,” and he also called it a “great post,” saying it’s “funny, hilarious, incisive, witty, direct.” However, Fuentes continued: “But what actually is ever going to come of this? What are we actually doing about this problem?” He added that “rather than keep his promises, all that this administration has done is enrich the people that are in it.”

December 2, 2025, edition of Bradley Martyn’s Raw Talk
BRADLEY MARTYN (HOST): There seems to be like, when we're incorporating religion into at least what America is, from what I understand constitutionally, like when they originally did it, they were like, ”This needs to be separate. We need to separate these things because we're going to have so many different people here because that's what America is.” And then your perspective is, “Well, I want it to be this way.”
NICK FUENTES (GUEST): Well, I mean, for starters, the Founding Fathers never intended that we were going to have diversity. You know? And when America was founded, it was almost all English Protestants for the most part, with the except -- There were some Catholics in Maryland, but it was basically all English Protestants. And in Federalist No. 2 by John Jay -- These are the papers that it was John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, I think James Madison, they wrote 50-some papers in favor of the Constitution, to adopt the Constitution.
And in the second Federalist Paper, John Jay writes, this is -- He's very clear about this in the end. He said, “God gave us this land, one continent for one people, with one language, one religion, with common characteristics, from one place.” Like, it was very clear. There was no diversity. And in the 1790 immigration law, one of the first laws, they said, “It's going to be white people moving here.” In the election in 1800, Alexander Hamilton wanted to make it a law that you could not run for office if you're not Christian, to prevent Thomas Jefferson from becoming president because he wasn't really a Christian.
...
Our conception of America is formed out of the Civil Rights Act and the civil rights era, where you had the ACLU and the ADL and a lot of Jewish groups, as well as a lot of pro-Black groups and MLK Jr. and the rest of them. They basically reconstituted America in the '60s, where they said, “Actually, America's for everybody. America's about diversity and all the different races and religions hanging out.”
But from 1600 until 1960, America was almost all white, all Christian, and you can look at, like, every president even. Abraham Lincoln did not want to free the slaves. That's not why he fought the Civil War. And Abraham Lincoln, before he died, was working vigorously to send all the freed slaves back to Africa.
This was like a -- And this is not talked about in history books, but Abraham Lincoln tried really hard. They had colonies in -- Liberia was one of them and another colony in Central America. They tried to send all the freed Blacks back because every president from Washington through to, you could say, almost Harry Truman, they said that “we never intended for whites and Blacks to live together with full social and legal equality.” And I'm not arguing for that.
MARTYN: Right.
NICK FUENTES: But that is historically what they believed. Now, it is a matter of fact that America has become diverse and racially integrated, and, you know, the Constitution was changed a number of times. And we have to figure out -- I think that we want to live in harmony. I like the words harmony, cooperation. I think the races should cooperate, and I want there to be peace and respect and dignity between the races.
But we have to keep in mind that the Founding Fathers, when they devised the system, they did not devise it with a multiracial religiously pluralistic society in mind. That's not, and I don't think it works that way. I think it's very difficult to make self-governance work when you have a ton of different types of people living in a giant empire like we have. I think we kind of need to rethink that.
MARTYN: I see what you're saying.

an 12 25
Conservative Princeton University professor Robert P. George is warning the Republican Party and the modern conservative movement to jettison its growing bigot wing quickly before they destroy the party.
“…[I]n a sense, conservatism is, and should be, a ‘big tent.’ Still, there are limits,” said George. “Those limits are reached when people claiming the mantle of conservatism promote white supremacy, antisemitism, eugenics, the subjugation of women, and other forms of ideological extremism and bigotry.”
“So-called ‘groypers,’ such as the Hitler (and Stalin) sympathizer Nick Fuentes, want to be inside the tent, and they make no secret of their aim to take control of and remake the conservative movement, George continued. “Even conservatives who are appalled by the grotesque ideologies of Fuentes and his allies sometimes seem uncertain about how to deal with the phenomenon. They note that illiberal ‘influencers’ have large online followings, especially among disaffected young men, and fear alienating them if they draw a bright line excluding racists and antisemites from membership in good standing in the conservative community.”
But drawing a bright line is exactly what conservatives need, and quickly, George warned.
“Extremism and bigotry have no place in the conservative movement. They are contrary to the central things conservatives should be dedicating themselves to conserving, namely, the biblical principle of the inherent dignity of every member of the human family, and the civic principle that human beings are ‘created equal’ and ‘endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.’”
George said this is not “cancellation,” as some have called it in an effort to tut-tut the rejection.
“Individuals who hold extremist or bigoted views possess the same right to express their opinions as everyone else has,” George said “… What I am doing is reminding conservatives that we stand for certain things. Therefore, not everything is up for grabs or negotiable. Nor is everyone, irrespective of their beliefs, welcome in the conservative movement. Unless you share conservatism’s core values, then you are not with us in standing for what our movement exists to conserve.”
American conservatism, said George, is about belief in the rule of law, in accountable and limited government, marriage and the family, traditional moral values, market-based economy and personal responsibility, among other things. It is also about the constitutional principles of federalism and the separation of powers, and basic civil rights and liberties.
“The ‘groypers’ who are attempting to bring their toxic ideas into the conservative movement and remake conservatism in their image ought to be met with reasoned, principled responses,” said George. “Conservative leaders and institutions must not pander to them or play footsie with them. We must, in the name of our ancient faith, draw the bright line.”

During a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, President Donald Trump unleashed a racist attack on Somalia and Somali immigrants, declaring that they are "garbage" and "we don’t want them in our country."
On his Tuesday night program, Hitler-loving racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobic,Christian nationalist, fascist, white nationalist Nick Fuentes not only celebrated Trump's comments, but took credit for provoking them.
Fuentes, who dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, became a vocal critic during the 2024 presidential campaign, largely over Trump's decision to name "race traitor" Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate.
Now, Fuentes is claiming that it was his relentless criticism of Trump that prompted the president to "pander to us."
"This is why we need to be negative," Fuentes said. "This is why we need to threaten to withhold our support. This is why we need to make it unignorable and visible, because if we do, then Trump will be forced to pander to us. And he knows how to do it. Nobody is better than him. We just need to create the need, the impetus, for it."
"And now that that has happened, like clockwork, what does Trump do?" Fuentes continued. "He dusts off the old playbook and we get Trump 2016 all over again. You're welcome. I'll never get any credit for it, but you are welcome for giving you Trump 2016 back."
Fuentes said that the administration has been "a nonstop disaster" and that Trump himself is deeply unpopular, which is forcing Trump to revert to his overtly racist 2016 campaign style in order to appeal to his disenchanted base.
"How do you get the politicians to do what you want them to do?" Fuentes declared. "Threaten to withhold support. Critique them. Attack them. Do it from the right. It doesn't matter if you do it from the left—the left is already the enemy—do it from inside, do it from within the right wing."
"Look at how we got Trump to cave in such a short amount of time, and look at how beautifully he delivered," Fuentes gloated. "Look at how beautifully he understood the assignment completely. He comes out and says, 'All these brown people do is bitch in their hijabs and they're ungrateful and they stink and we don't want him here.' It couldn't be better if you dreamed it up."
"It was delivered to us on a silver platter because we threatened to withhold our support, because we said we don't like Trump anymore, and now this is what we get," he added. "It's a desperate bid to get our support back, and he knows what to do. He always has. We just need to give him a reason to play that out."

Nick Fuentes Blame A Right Wing Watch 'Smear Campaign' For Making Him Seem Like An Antisemitic White Nationalist
12/01/2025
by
Right Wing Watch has spent years documenting the fact that Nick Fuentes is a Hitler-loving racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobic,Christian nationalist, fascist, white nationalist, which has been demonstrably established based solely on the things he says on his own nightly program.
During that time, RWW has compiled a massive archive of clips showing Fuentes praising Hitler, demonizing Jews, and using the N-word, all while calling for women to be burned alive, for non-Christians to be executed, and for the nation to be taken over by a fascist dictatorship.
It is because of this litany of evidence that it becomes a scandal when Fuentes is treated to a friendly interview by the likes of Tucker Carlson or is allowed to dine with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
But to hear Fuentes tell it, RWW's diligence in chronicling the things he says and the positions for which he advocates is nothing but a "smear campaign" aimed at "reputational destruction" and personal harm.
Last week, Fuentes appeared on "The Jack Neel Podcast" for what proved to be just the latest in a series of softball interviews he has been doing with popular content creators. In this interview, Fuentes kicked things off by specifically blaming RWW for making him "out to be a fanatic, a nut job, a hateful person."
"I was not really controversial when I got started," Fuentes insisted. "I didn't really say anything that was that out there, but I was saying that Israel is not our ally, so they put somebody on me. In this case, it was Jared Holt at Right Wing Watch. Right Wing Watch is a subsidiary of People For the American Way, which is a [George] Soros-funded nonprofit. So, this guy would watch my show every night—he was paid to do this, it's his job—and he was paid to look for every time I said anything controversial—anything that sounded controversial, any joke that sounded offensive—and his job was then to clip what sounded bad, post it on Twitter, and say that represented that I'm a white nationalist, I'm an extremist, neo-Nazi, Christian fanatic."
"And this has taken place over the course of 10 years," Fuentes continued. "Ever since I was 18 years old, this is what I have been subjected to. And after 10 years, you get a profile as all your worst clips, all the things that could sound bad, all those things have been compiled over your entire career and then they make you out to be a fanatic, a nut job, a hateful person. And so that's how I got the reputation as a white supremacist, white nationalist, all of the above."
Fuentes claimed that the real purpose behind cataloging his extremist statements is to "rile up their base" so that someone will try to harm him, as happened when someone showed up at Fuentes' house in late 2024.
"He was effectively sicced on me by these types of groups that built up that catalog of horrible things, that engage in that reputational destruction," Fuentes asserted. "It's sort of the anatomy of a smear, the anatomy of that kind of labeling and that kind of smear campaign."
Video URL
First of all, RWW did not start regularly covering and clipping Fuentes' show until 2022, when Jared Holt had already left the organization.
Secondly, the purpose behind chronicling Fuentes' extremism is not to endanger him—which is something we obviously condemn—but rather to document the influence that his views are having on the conservative movement and, by extension, the government, which is something that he openly brags about.
Finally, did it ever occur to Fuentes that the reason he has developed a reputation as a racist, antisemitic, neo-Nazi, Christian fanatic, extremist nut job is because he spends hours every night saying things that give people the impression that he is a racist, antisemitic, neo-Nazi, Christian fanatic, extremist nut job?

Additionally, right-wing media were recently thrown into disagreement over Tucker Carlson’s friendly interview with Holocaust denier and “America First” proponent Nick Fuentes. While some prominent figures like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin criticized Carlson, others defended the interview with Fuentes. Media Matters, [11/11/25]
## Right-wing media declare “MAGA is dead,” as some celebrate “America First”
In early November, Fuentes proclaimed “MAGA is dead” on his podcast while criticizing a lack of “America First” policies from the Trump administration. Shortly afterward, he posted that “MAGA is dead,” and in another episode, Fuentes accused Trump of covering up Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, saying that it “signals the end of MAGA — it’s over.” Twitter/X, [11/12/25; Rumble, America First, 11/5/25, 11/14/25]
Former Daily Wire host Brett Cooper criticized Trump’s economic policies in an episode of her YouTube show emblazoned with a thumbnail asking, “Is MAGA Dead?” Cooper read and agreed with a post claiming, “There are better ways to make life affordable and young people want and deserve an economy that allows them to flourish. Once they acquire a taste for free shit there will be no going back. The American dream will officially be dead and millions of voters will forever associate MAGA with its decline.” YouTube, *The Brett Cooper Show*, accessed [11/18/25, 11/12/25]
Podcaster Candace Owens published a video declaring, “Last Call for the MAGA Party.” Owens said she was “done with MAGA at the moment he [Trump] looked us in the face and he said what files? Right? What — are we still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” She added, “I think the entire nation has been hoaxed by Republicans and Democrats and there are pervert elites that sit at the top. That’s my suspicion.” YouTube, *Candace*, accessed [11/18/25, 11/13/25]
Former Infowars host Owen Shroyer criticized right-wing commentators Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro over their support for Israel, claiming, “MAGA is dead, now we're in the America First debate.” He added, “Soon it's going to be the America-only debate. And if you're not with team America- only, then you're on team not-America. And so, that's where Levin and Shapiro will be in three years.” WIN Network, *Owen Report*, [11/10/25; The Daily Beast, 9/2/25]
“Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander posted, “MAGA is dead.” ABC News, [12/18/21; Telegram, 11/17/25]
Shannon Joy, a “prominent anti-vaccine podcaster,” said on her show that “MAGA is dead, MAHA is dead” because of “Donald Trump partnering up with Albert Bourla, the head of Pfizer,” calling it a “huge betrayal.”Joy said, “I have been preparing you all for this for 18 months, but they have finally laid it bare. Donald Trump partnering up with Albert Bourla, the head of Pfizer, who rolled out the poison bioweapon, the mRNA shot.” She later said Trump “is putting you through a humiliation ritual,” adding, “This betrayal is absolutely stunning. There's no sugarcoating it. MAGA is dead, MAHA is dead. This is in your face. The question is, when are people going to wake the F up?” The Bulwark, [6/26/25; Rumble, The Shannon Joy Show, 10/1/25, 10/1/25]
Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon posted a YouTube video titled, “MAGA is Dead, America First is rising,” and wrote that “MAGA is dead” and “Donald Trump is NOT our guy.” The video was published by Webbon’s Right Response Ministries. He later posted, “Nothing but memes and vibes from the Trump admin. Zero action. MAGA is dead. America First will replace them.” In another post, Webbon said, “It’s long past time to admit that Donald Trump is NOT our guy. He was merely the ‘precursor’ to another. MAGA is DEAD. America First is ASCENDANT.” YouTube, *Right Response Ministries*, [11/12/25; Twitter/X, 11/13/25, 11/12/25; The Christian Post, 3/14/25]
Former Turning Point USA ambassador Morgan Ariel posted, “MAGA is dead. RIP.” Twitter/X, [11/12/25; The Jerusalem Post, 1/5/24]
Right-wing influencer Rebecca Worsham, known online as “ThePatrioticBlonde,” claimed MAGA was “assassinated by Trump and his Israeli interests.” She wrote, “MAGA is dead. Assassinated by Trump and his Israeli interests. It was a psyop. And we fell for it. No time to grieve. We need to regroup. Where do we go from here?” Twitter/X, [11/12/25]

When Tucker Carlson conducted a softball interview with Hitler-loving racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobic,Christian nationalist, fascist, white nationalist Nick Fuentes last month, a collateral controversy erupted when Heritage Foundation's MAGA president Kevin Roberts rushed to release a video defending Carlson and insisting that conservatives should not be trying to "cancel" Carlson or Fuentes.
As a result of Roberts' video, the Heritage Foundation quickly found itself wracked by conflict as staff revolted, allies cut ties, and board members resigned. The person responsible for the whole debacle, according to reports, was Heritage's chief of staff Ryan Neuhaus, who was demoted as a result and eventually resigned from the organization entirely.
On Tuesday, Neuhaus appeared on Tim Pool's podcast, where he defended Roberts' and the Heritage Foundation's initial response to the Carlson/Fuentes interview.
"I don't think I need to explain anything for Dr. Roberts," Neuhaus asserted. "I think he's a good man. I don't think he's necessarily apologized for the statement. I think he stood by the fact that we should not engage in cancel culture."
"There are people behind the scenes that are trying to do that, that are trying to tell people who you can and cannot platform, and trying to police speech," he continued. "Maybe that post-World War II liberalism sentiment prevails in some circles, but those of us who are actually conservatives and are trying to conserve the ideals of the American founding, one of those is primarily free speech."
"When there's bad ideas, you hash them out and you point out what's bad about them and then you point out what's good and you redirect people towards what's correct," he continued. "I think President Trump put that in his own way the other night. President Trump said it himself, 'Why would I tell Tucker Carlson who he can or can't have on a show?' Ironically enough, [if] you want to talk about who's on people's shows; nobody was freaking out when Patrick Bet-David had Nick Fuentes on his show a month before. That doesn't mean that everyone's endorsing Nick Fuentes's idea."
When co-host Elaad Eliahu compared Carlson's interview with Fuentes, which was a friendly chat seemingly aimed at whitewashing Fuentes' radicalism, to the hostile and contentious interview Carlson conducted with Sen. Ted Cruz earlier this year, Neuhaus dismissed the concern by insisting that "Ted Cruz is a presidential candidate" whereas with Fuentes, "Carlson [was] interviewing some random internet guy with an internet following."
"There's no reason to make excuses or arguments for why Tucker did what he did or didn't do," Neuhaus said. "All of that's up to Tucker. And Tucker, at the end of the day, it's his show. How he performs it and how he does it; either his viewership will decline or it will increase based upon what he does and who am I—some random guy in America—to be like, 'Tucker, don't do that'? He's not going to care what I think and he doesn't need to care what I think."
When Eliahu wonder if "the MAGA coalition is sustainable" given all the infighting that is taking place, Neuhaus issued a dire warning.
"I think it has to be," he said. "I think if not, then you lose 2028 and you go to the gulags."

It was in his classic dystopian novel "1984" that George Orwell first coined the term "doublethink" to describe the process of indoctrination used by a totalitarian state to control its citizens.
Within the context of the novel, the superstate of Oceania is ruled by an all-powerful organization known as The Party, which presents itself as both infallible and omniscient, thereby forcing citizens to engage in "doublethink" in order to reconcile the contradictions that inevitably arise whenever real world events demonstrate that The Party is not, in fact, infallible and omniscient.
As Orwell explained the concept, "doublethink" is the ability "to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them" and "to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again."
While Orwell's nightmarish regime has not yet actually come to fruition, the concept of "doublethink" is very real and its practice was on full display during a recent program hosted by Hitler-loving racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobic,Christian nationalist, fascist, white nationalist Nick Fuentes,
On Friday, Fuentes once again dedicated his program to discussing the fallout from his recent softball interview with Tucker Carlson, which generated a much wider controversy when Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts came rushing to Carlson's defense while insisting that nobody on the right should be trying to "cancel" Fuentes.
Roberts has since apologized, and Fuentes spent a good portion of Friday's program ripping Roberts for doing so, saying that nobody should ever apologize to the "Jewish mob."
"Why will I never apologize?" Fuentes boldly declared. "Because when you are dealing with the Jewish mob, when you're dealing with these Jewish gangsters, they're never operating in good faith. Know that. Understand that. Bank that."
Fuentes said that Jews are never seeking a "sincere apology," but rather are "looking for submission" and "humiliation."
"They want you to bow down," he said. "They want you to submit and surrender. They want you to acknowledge that they are in charge of you. They are our moral betters. They are the boss, and we are supposed to defer to them and kowtow and kiss the boot. That's what that's about."
"This is why you should never apologize, because these people hate you," he continued. "They hate you. They don't care about your well-being. And they're not looking for an apology. They're looking for submission. And I will not give that to them. I would rather die. And that's the difference. Kevin Roberts gave them an apology. And look at what an idiot he looks like. Everybody, look at the clown, look at the absolute fool, Kevin Roberts. Look at how he humiliated himself like a bitch. ... Everybody look at Kevin Roberts, the week's idiot. This is the idiot of the week, and you should be embarrassed. You should feel like a cuck. You should feel like a bitch that you did that. This is why we never apologize."
After spending a good portion of the show ranting in this matter, Fuentes then took questions from viewers, one of whom wanted to know his thoughts about musician Kanye West, now known as Ye, recently meeting with a rabbi and apologizing for his own long history of virulent antisemitism.
Predictably, Fuentes, who idolizes West, worked on his presidential campaign, and even dined with him and President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, gave West a pass for apologizing despite having just dedicated a good portion of that very program to ripping those who do that very thing.
"I don't have to answer for him," Fuentes said defensively regarding West's apologetic meeting with the rabbi. "That's his decision, and he's my friend so I don't care. I support him through thick and thin and so I'm not going to say much more beyond that."
"It's his business. It's his decision," Fuentes asserted. "It's his life. But he's my friend; I stand by him. I loved Ye before he was singing 'Heil Hitler.' I love that man, so I'm never going to throw him under the bus because I disagree with something he does or whatever. I mean, it's his prerogative."

‘The whole thing is imploding’: Inside the rebellion at America’s top right-wing think tank
David Badash andThe New Civil Rights MovementNovember 09, 2025
Founded in 1973, the Heritage Foundation has become what its president, Kevin Roberts, now hails as the “intellectual backbone” of the conservative movement. It crafted the policy blueprint that powered President Ronald Reagan’s right-wing revolution — and today, under Roberts’s leadership, it’s once again shaping the machinery of power. Through its highly controversial Project 2025 — a plan widely credited to Roberts as its chief architect — Heritage laid out a road map for President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda. But Roberts’s recent missteps have rattled the institution, raising strong questions about his leadership — and the future direction of the conservative movement itself.
Roberts gained widespread attention in July 2024 when he issued a warning to Democrats: “we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
At the time, Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer said, “they are threatening violence.”
As did others.
“Kevin Roberts is threatening violence to anyone not following his dear leader,” former Republican and former U.S. Congressman Denver Riggleman wrote. “Every network should cover this."
Roberts’s remarks had come just after the U.S. Supreme Court recognized a new constitutional principle of “presidential immunity” for official acts — a decision critics say President Donald Trump has wielded to expand his power.
Late last month, Roberts came under tremendous criticism after throwing his support behind former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who had a two-hour interview with far-right extremist leader Nick Fuentes, whom many see as promoting Christian nationalism, white supremacy, racism, antisemitism, misogyny, and Islamophobia.
"There has been speculation that @Heritage is distancing itself from @TuckerCarlson over the past 24 hours," Roberts wrote on October 30 when posting the video that sparked this current firestorm. "I want to put that to rest right now."
The editors of the right-wing National Review in a scathing editorial explained the issue: “Tucker Carlson, knee-deep already, has taken another step into the muck with a friendly interview with Nick Fuentes.”
HERITAGE "WILL ALWAYS DEFEND OUR FRIENDS ... THAT INCLUDES TUCKER CARLSON"
Roberts had wasted no time in coming to Carlson's defense.
“The Heritage Foundation didn’t become the intellectual backbone of the conservative movement by canceling our own people or policing the consciences of Christians. And we won’t start doing that now,” he said in his video supporting Carlson.
Roberts insisted that Heritage "will always defend our friends against the slander of bad actors who serve someone else’s agenda. That includes Tucker Carlson, who remains, and as I have said before, always will be a close friend of the Heritage Foundation.”
Criticism of Roberts was immediate.
Journalist Yashar Ali called it a "watershed moment."
"In his statement," Ali wrote, "Kevin condemns what he calls a 'venomous coalition' that is 'sowing division' by attacking Tucker. That 'venomous coalition,' includes MAGA Republicans as well as Jewish conservative commentators, activists, and donors."
"Kevin also frames Nick Fuentes’s rhetoric as worthy of debate, rather than something to be condemned outright. A shift like this would’ve been unthinkable for Heritage just three years ago."
Condemnations came, and continue to do so — from both outside and inside Heritage.
CNN's Andrew Kaczynski on Thursday reported on what one senior staffer called the "absolute s--" swirling inside Heritage.
"The staff that we talked to told us the Heritage Foundation is in open revolt over the president's defense of Carlson," Kaczynski explained.
That senior staffer also told CNN that Roberts had "lost control over the organization."
Kaczynski noted that they also "said there's an open rebellion, and this really all came to a head [Wednesday], where they had this all hands meeting ... this was kind of going around social media, where Roberts publicly apologized, according to her recording we obtained, Roberts told employees, 'I made a mistake. I let you down. I let this institution down. I'm sorry.'"
"But," Kaczynski added, Roberts "also made clear he has no plans to resign."
On Friday, Reason senior editor Stephanie Slade wrote that at a Thursday night event, "I was asked if the crisis at Heritage Foundation seemed to be blowing over. This morning I received a message from someone inside the building about Kevin Roberts: 'He needs to be made to resign by the [Heritage] Foundation Board of Trustees.'"
"In speaking to current and former Heritage staffers over the last week," Slade continued, "the emotion I've most commonly encountered is disgust and the words I've most commonly heard are 'Kevin Roberts has to go.'"
By Wednesday, as Ali noted, Roberts had "made his fourth public statement on the Tucker Carlson/Nick Fuentes situation ... over the course of six days." After the initial video that ignited the firestorm, Roberts made three other attempts to "clean up" his remarks.
According to The Wall Street Journal's Elliot Kaufman, Heritage senior fellow Amy Swearer, in remarks before Heritage staff, told Roberts, "over the last week, you have shown a stunning lack of both courage and judgment."
She called Roberts' initial defense of Carlson "at best ... equal parts incoherent, unhelpful and naive."
"At worst, it was more akin to a master class in cowardice that ran cover for the most unhinged dregs of the far right."
"LOST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DONATIONS"
Heritage also appears to be losing important donors.
"One major donor, whose organization contributes more than a half million dollars annually to Heritage Foundation, told us that they had totally lost faith in Roberts," Kaczynski reported.
"They said, 'I see how things play out, but if Kevin remains as president, we will not be giving to Heritage.'"
"Likewise, the Zionist Organization of America, that's actually the oldest pro-Israel group in the United States, announced that it has withdrawn from Heritage's initiative on antisemitism, unless Roberts publicly apologized, and retract his praise for Carlson."
Newsmax reported that "Zionist Organization of America President Morton Klein told Newsmax Friday that Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts should resign immediately."
"My organization has many of the same donors as Heritage," Klein also said. "They've told me that they're stopping all funding for Heritage until they get rid of Kevin Roberts, so yes, they have lost millions of dollars in donations since this controversy arose."
Klein also "pointed to longtime Heritage fellow Stephen Moore's recent departure."
"He doesn't want to be involved with Heritage, which is now tainted as an antisemitic, bigoted organization," Klein told Newsmax. "It's harmed everything else they do."
Mark Goldfeder, CEO of the National Jewish Advocacy Center, told The Wall Street Journal on Friday that “Any tent that is big enough for them ...is too big for me,” referring to Fuentes and his allies.
The Journal reported that "Goldfeder resigned from Heritage’s National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism in the aftermath of Roberts’s video."
"CIVIL WAR AT THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION"
Other critics outside Heritage have also been observing Roberts' crumbling support, and what it means for the future of the organization, its president, and the conservative movement.
"The civil war at the Heritage Foundation is far more consequential than most people realize," noted Mike Madrid, the prominent Latino Republican political consultant. "The divide seems irreconcilable and it could splinter the American right irreversibly."
Conservative New York Times opinion columnist David French wrote on Sunday, "I don’t know if Roberts will survive at Heritage."
"I do know that Carlson and Fuentes and their constellation of friends and allies are far too popular to cancel or even to contain," he noted, and observed: "The fight for the future of the Republican Party is underway."
And pointing to a Washington Post article on the crisis at Heritage, Madrid declared: "The whole thing is imploding."

In the wake of Tucker Carlson's softball interview with Hitler-loving racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobic,Christian nationalist, fascist, white nationalist Nick Fuentes, a controversy erupted when Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts came rushing to Carlson's defense while insisting that nobody on the right should be trying to "cancel" Fuentes.
Now Roberts is himself facing criticism for his defense of Carlson and, seemingly by extension, Fuentes. While Roberts is now trying to dodamage control, Fuentes himself is gloating, saying on his program last night that Roberts' position shows that those who follow Fuentes and share his views, known as groypers, are welcome at Heritage.
"Heritage Foundation is an institution," Fuentes said. "If an institution says, 'Tucker Carlson fans welcome,' then that means that institution becomes a safe harbor and a springboard for people that are sympathetic to me and Tucker. At this point, what's the difference? It's a distinction without a difference. People that are sympathetic to us will go and they will work there as interns, as employees, as communications people, whatever, and they'll get a resume, they'll get a job, and then they'll go and work in other places. They'll work in the Trump administration, they'll work in Congress, they'll work in policy positions. And all of a sudden, you have people that agree with Tucker and agree with me, or agree with Tucker's decision to talk to me, working in the corridors of power. And who knows, in 10 or 20 years, maybe at the highest levels."
"What this signifies is that Heritage, the accreditation institution, the brain, the priestly class that promulgates the Republican dogma, if that institution says that groyperism is up for debate—it's on the table, it's not canceled, we should talk about the ideas, and we should defend the people that defend the groypers or talk to the groypers—it signifies that, one, that place is a safe harbor," Fuentes celebrated. "So a groyper could go to work at Heritage and maybe feel welcome and comfortable and he won't be fired. And you might have a groyper at Heritage who is going to be writing a policy paper about, who knows, foreign policy, education, immigration. They might be considered like an expert and maybe they'll go on to be a legislative director for a senator, and they might be writing laws for the U.S. government. It's conceivable."
"If the president of Heritage says, 'Tucker is in the Big Tent,' then that means that Tucker and Nick Fuentes sympathizers are allowed to be employed at Heritage," Fuentes continued. "And thus, they might be in the position to determine the dogma. They can write the doctrine."
"Congratulations, guys, we have penetrated the outer wall," Fuentes gloated. "The outer wall has crumbled."
"We won the argument," Fuentes declared. "We beat censorship. We beat cancel culture. Our ideas are mainstream. We won the debate. We won the hearts and minds of millions of young men, and they're everywhere. Thirty to forty percent of the White House are groypers. You lost! Wilt Chamberlain, [Ben] Shapiro, Mark Levin, you lost. You lost the conversation. We won, and now we're taking it to the next level. We graduated. Congratulations, everybody."
Fuentes said that he had served as a "human battering ram" to "blow the door open" to the conservative political establishment and now groypers must rush in through the breach and take over those establishments.
"What happens next, now that we're inside the building?" Fuentes asked, rhetorically. "Now we got to lock the shit down."

Alex Griffing @ Mediaite: Nick Fuentes Calls For Mark Levin to Be Deported In Hateful, Unhinged Rant
White nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes went on a hateful and unhinged rant against Fox host Mark Levin this week, openly calling for his deportation for comments he made in support of Israel.
Scott Nover and Drew Harwell @ The Washington Post: Laura Loomer is now credentialed to cover the Pentagon
The far-right activist and former congressional candidate has repeatedly criticized defense officials on her website and social media accounts while boasting of her close ties to President Donald Trump.
Nikki McCann Ramirez @ Rolling Stone: Mike Johnson Wants You to Believe He Lives Under a Rock
Mike Johnson has a reflex. When asked about a major breaking news event that is dominating headlines and conversations around Capitol Hill’s proverbial water coolers — usually the president’s latest authoritarian endeavor or national humiliation — Johnson defaults to pretending he has no access to the internet, newspapers, or staff who are quite literally paid to keep him informed.
Sarah Posner @ Talking Points Memo: Traditional Media Never Took the Christian Right Seriously
Back in the early 2000s, when we were outraged by the excesses of authoritarian dilettantes George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, a friend suggested I start a blog. I had been a lawyer, but was eager to change careers. Having studied the rise of the Christian right as a college student in the 1980s, I was now watching their aspirations unfold in real time. I wanted to investigate, expose, weigh in on all the things other people were missing. I was accustomed to writing fast. I was built to blog.
Kevin J. Burke and Heidi Hadley @ The National Education Policy Center: Christian Nationalism and Educational Policy in the United States
American public education, though historically rooted in Christian ideals, has long navigated tensions among denominational differences and, in modern times, secularism. The growing influence of Christian nationalism—a movement blending Protestant religious identity with political ideology—threatens this balance.

AN 11 25
One major conservative group is experiencing a massive rift in its workforce, and the source of the division is reportedly a polarizing far-right influencer.
That's according to a Monday article in the New York Post, which reported that insiders at the Heritage Foundation (the group responsible for the authoritarian Project 2025 playbook) are sharing stories of "revolt" within the GOP-aligned organization. Many within Heritage are alarmed after the group's president, Kevin Roberts, refused to disavow right-wing podcaster Tucker Carlson after his friendly interview with white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.
"We will always defend our friends against the slander of bad actors who serve someone else’s agenda," Roberts said at the time. "That includes Tucker Carlson, who remains, and as I have said before, always will be a close friend of the Heritage Foundation."
"I disagree with and even abhor things that Nick Fuentes said," Roberts continued. “But canceling him is not the answer either.”
One source told the Post that Roberts' statement was "the most embarrassed I’ve ever been to be a Heritage employee," adding: "It’s not close." Another accused Carlson of "playing footsie with literal Nazis." A separate Heritage staffer said Roberts' refusal to "cancel" Carlson amounted to "safe space wokeism."
"If we are labeled on the same side as Nick Fuentes, then we deserve to lose," a fourth source said. "Talking with some of the interns I think that there are a growing number of them who actually agree [with Fuentes]."
Fuentes, who has openly praised Adolf Hitler and repeatedly maligned the Jewish community, spent part of his interview with Carlson blaming Jewish people for the state of American politics. He also heaped praise on World War II-era Russian leader Josef Stalin, calling himself a "fan" of the dictator who killed millions of his own citizens.
