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."

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?

A growing number of right-wing figures are criticizing President Donald Trump’s economic decisions, foreign policies, and continued handling of the Epstein files. Some in right-wing media are even declaring that the Trump-centric “MAGA movement” is “dead.”
- ## “MAGA” is taking criticism from the right
- Some right-wing figures are growing angry and splitting with Trump on supposed “America First” issues including economic policies, foreign entanglements, and his handling of the Epstein files.According to Axios, “MAGA is now mired in conflict over Israel, white nationalism, purity tests and disputes among its biggest personalities.” Axios, [11/16/25; CNN, Reliable Sources, 11/17/25]
- 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]

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."

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.

Tucker Carlson’s Softball Interview is the Latest Stop on the Nick Fuentes P.R. Tour
10/29/2025
by
Podcaster and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson devoted more than two hours of his online show Monday night to soft-pedaling the extremism of the unapologetically racist, misogynist, antisemitic, and anti-democracy online personality Nick Fuentes.
Carlson’s friendly interview was the latest and biggest stop in a recent string of right-wing podcast appearances with hosts that have allowed Fuentes to whitewash his well-documented bigotry and extremism—thus furthering Fuentes’ stated strategy of pushing the Overton window and the entire conservative movement far to the right.
Echoing other hosts’ justification for platforming Fuentes, Carlson claimed that his goal was to let his audience hear for themselves what Fuentes thinks. The audience got to hear Fuentes claim, “I’m not one of those haters,” but they didn’t learn why that statement is so wildly at odds with Fuentes’ long and well-documented record.
Listeners who made it through the entire interview did get to hear Fuentes express his contempt for women and his theories about how young men are being ruined by marijuana, feminism, and pornography. (On that front, Carlson and Fuentes agreed that porn is making “a lot of people” gay and trans.)
The two commiserated at length over what they see as their mistreatment by the Republican establishment over their criticism of Israel. They apologized for each having previously accused the other of being a fed. Carlson suggested that the way Fuentes talks about American Jews and Jewishness itself as a problem made it easier for their critics to dismiss all of them as antisemites.
But, shamefully, Carlson never raised any of the most viciously and sometimes violently antisemitic statements Fuentes has made—like saying Jews should not be allowed to hold public office—or his frequently expressed admiration for the genocidal Adolf Hitler. Fuentes even gave him an opening when he described the Hitler-loving Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) as one of his two heroes—the other being Trump.
Carlson never asked about Fuentes’ own description of “what it would like to build a society based on our distinct worldview” – in which contraception, fornication, homosexuality, and pornography are illegal and women can’t go to school, be part of the workplace, or vote, and are burned at the stake for being witches.
Carlson couldn’t even be bothered to follow up when Fuentes revealed his soft spot for dictatorship in this country. Fuentes said he could remember the date of a particular incident because it happened on Josef Stalin’s birthday, which he said is “an important date to me.”
Fuentes described himself as a fan and admirer of Stalin, an extraordinarily brutal dictator responsible for systematic suppression of freedom and for millions of deaths. Carlson seemed surprised by Fuentes stanning for Stalin, and said, “We’ll circle back to that,” but he never did, and thus never explored Fuentes’ clearly expressed desire to replace American democracy with a fascist totalitarian white Christian nationalist dictatorship.
You’d think that would be a worthwhile topic for an interview supposedly designed to let people hear what Fuentes thinks.
Fuentes’s authoritarian impulses were revealed once again when the two talked about the increasing tensions over the Trump administration’s violent attacks on immigrants in Chicago and the growing public resistance to them.
“I see all the ingredients of, like, a low-boil civil conflict, full-blown civil war, and I’m not that guy, but I see all the ingredients there for that to happen,” Fuentes said. Carlson agreed, saying “I do, too.”
Carlson asked how Fuentes would handle things if he were president. “They have to crush the other side,” Fuentes said, adding that it was necessary to “utterly confront” the left “and defeat them and remove hope from the equation.” If you do anything less than that, he said, you’re simply antagonizing and energizing the other side. “That’s right,” Carlson agreed.
“If I were Trump, I would say, ‘Screw 200 National Guard. Arrest the mayor of Chicago. Arrest the governor. Shut it down. Make it clear … Bring in the troops and say the federal government is supreme. The immigration law is the law of the land. If you’re not on board with that you’re going to jail.”
Carlson’s chummy interview with Fuentes has generated some criticism from right-wing pundits.

Tucker Carlson’s friendly sitdown with Nick Fuentes is drawing harsh criticism from elements of the right, but it seems utterly inevitable given the former Fox host’s trajectory over the last decade.
Fuentes, a white nationalist streamer and Holocaust denier who just weeks ago called for the expulsion of American Jews and Muslims, was once verboten in GOP circles. But in recent months he has become increasingly prominent, drawing millions of views in a series of interviews on right-wing podcasts.
On Monday, he scored his biggest platform yet with an appearance on Carlson’s show, which has one of the largest audiences among news podcasts. Over the course of their two-plus-hour conversation, Carlson let Fuentes retell his origin story in a manner that soft-peddled his bigotry; the pair found common ground over their shared disdain for Christian Zionists and right-wing Jews, and their contempt for liberal women and support for patriarchy; they buried the hatchet over each previously believing that the other was “a fed”; and they agreed to disagree over Fuentes’ tendency to attack Carlson’s allies.
In short, it was a massive win for Fuentes — and one that everyone should have seen coming. Carlson, who is a close ally of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, has spent years drawing similarly extreme and noxious individuals into the Republican tent and bringing their views closer to the mainstream.
Carlson is the epitome of the GOP’s country-club class: His father was a political appointee in the Reagan and Bush administrations, his stepmother an heiress to the Swanson foods fortune, and he spent decades as a magazine journalist and a host and commentator on PBS, CNN, MSNBC, and finally Fox News. But in late 2016, he began drawing a following among the most bigoted corners of the online right, drawing praise from the likes of former Klansman David Duke.
White supremacists realized early in Carlson’s rise — and were happy to say publicly — that Carlson was, in the words of the neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin, “literally our greatest ally,” someone willing and capable of taking their talking points from far-right internet fever swamps to Fox’s huge national audience.
Over the next several years, Carlson helped turn far-right conspiracy theories like the great replacement into right-wing dogma while running cover for white nationalist explosions like the 2017 march in Charlottesville, Virginia. And after leaving Fox and striking out on his own he became even more openly radical, promoting Hitler apologia and explicit antisemitism.
And Carlson hasn’t just brought extreme ideas into the GOP — he’s often sought to sanitize the once-fringe elements of the right. In effect, he has turned himself into a single degree of separation between the White House and people like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and false flag aficionado Alex Jones — and now, Fuentes.
The unfortunate reality is that the party that turns Carlson into a kingmaker can’t possibly maintain a cordon against even the most extreme and bigoted figures. And that means the future of the GOP — and, perhaps, the future for American Jews — is grim.

Nick Fuentes Says Leaked Young Republican Chats Prove 'Everyone's A Groyper Now'
10/15/2025
by
On Tuesday, Politico reporters Jason Beeferman and Emily Ngo published a story based on thousands of leaked messages from a group chat populated by young Republican activists:
Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.
They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
Other racist and antisemitic far-right commentators were quick to applaud and defend these views, and to praise Vice President J.D. Vance for downplaying the comments.
On Tuesday night, Nick Fuentes—the Hitler-loving racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobic,Christian nationalist, fascist, white nationalist who once dined with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago—cited the Politico story as evidence that those who share his views are now embedded not only throughout the right-wing movement but within the Republican establishment as well.
"Everyone's a groyper now," Fuentes said, using the term by which his followers are known. "I don't even know these people. I've never met these people. I don't know that they identify as groypers—I don't believe they talked about me; if they did, I'm sure it'd be in here—but it just goes to show, this is the mood of my generation. This is the mood, this is the zeitgeist of the under 25, under 30 crowd, especially for white men. It's just where they are."
Fuentes then tied the Politico story to something he said last week about the need for his followers to infiltrate all the power structures in society as part of a long-term plan to rise through the ranks and ultimately take control.
This is happening, Fuentes said, but those who are now on the inside need to practice better operational security to hide their true views and intentions.
"This is why I tell people, 'Hide your power level,'" Fuentes stated. "You're not hiding your power level if you're in a group chat with hundreds of people saying we're gonna put people in gas chambers, okay guys? Now I know it's funny and I joke around like that on my show and I'm very cavalier about it and maybe I'm setting a bad example. But if you are in the Young Republicans, and I'm speaking to you, if you're in College Republicans, if you are in the administration, if you're in a high position, you can't be putting this in writing."
"If you're going to hide your power level, if you're going to be a ninja, you can't be blasting off with all this kind of stuff in a giant group chat in writing with your real face," he added. "That's not good OPSEC. It's not a good idea. You can't do it."
"These guys were doing a great thing," Fuentes declared. "These guys [are] not woke, they're based, and they're doing what they're supposed to be. They're rising up in the party leadership. They're rising up in the government. The mistake that they made is that they were sloppy."

an sn 10 25
A Politico article about a leaked group chat of Young Republican leaders from across the country making racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments includes two people from Arizona, one of whom has documented ties to the white nationalist groyper movement.
The group chat of top officials in Young Republican Federation chapters from across the country, dubbed “RESTOREYR,” was leaked to Politico, which reported on a litany of comments made by participants. Offensive comments included making racist remarks about Black people, talking about putting Democrats in gas chambers, forcibly raping their enemies and more. The chat includes more than 250 slurs and one person saying “I love Hitler,” according to Politico.
One of the members of the chat was Arizona Young Republican Chairman Luke Mosiman, 25, who was alleged to have made racially charged comments about Black people and even floated an idea of linking their opponents in an election over control of the Young Republican National Federation to white supremacist groups — before saying it could backfire because it could result in the Young Republicans they needed to win the elections instead backing their opponent.
The Young Republican National Federation released a statement following the Politico report condemning the comments and calling for those involved to resign “from all positions within their state and local Young Republican organizations.”
In Kansas, the chairman of the state’s Republican Party announced that their Young Republicans chapter, which was involved in the chat leaks, was shut down. And he Arizona Republican Party came out strongly against the “disturbing language” used by Young Republican leaders in a statement released shortly after the story was published Tuesday
But Mosiman and the Arizona Young Republicans resisted the call that he and Rachel Hope, whose comments in the group chat were also mentioned in Politico’s story, resign. In a written statement released late Wednesday, the group instead cast Mosiman and Hope, who is the organization’s events chair, as victims, saying they “firmly reject any involvement in the ongoing political witch hunt targeting fellow Young Republican members.”
Their statement called it “disheartening” to “witness the double standard” displayed by their opponents within the conservative movement. They also lashed out at critics, saying some have failed to condemn violent texts by Virginia Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones or social media posts celebrating the death of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, who was killed last month.
However, the group did condemn “Nazi ideology,” though its statement fell short of acknowledging what was said or apologizing for it.
“We express our sincere regret and unequivocally condemn any rhetoric that could be interpreted as sympathetic to Nazi ideology,” the statement says. The lengthy statement also says that the group has concerns over the way the messages were obtained and their validity.
Far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has claimed online, posting a sworn affidavit, that the chats were leaked by Gavin Wax, a staffer in Trump’s State Department who formerly led the New York Young Republican club, whose own problematic chats were revealed in 2023.
Mosiman has been viewed by some as a rising star in Arizona conservative politics, but he also has close ties with the far-right and had courted controversy long before the group chat.
Hitler’s birthday
In April 2022, U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar was listed as a “special guest” at an event in Tempe scheduled for April 20, a date that is revered by white supremacists and neo-Nazis because it is Adolf Hitler’s birthday.
The event had been organized by the American Populist Union, a white nationalist group that is closely aligned with groypers, the name for a group of young, male white nationalists who strive for their ideas to become a part of the Republican mainstream and are largely followers of white nationalist Nick Fuentes. In 2021, Gosar was the first elected official to speak at Fuentes’ America First Political Action Conference.
After the Mirror reported on Gosar’s promotion and anticipated attendance at the event and spurred national media coverage, Gosar pulled out. His office said he was never planning to attend, even though he promoted it on his social media accounts.
Mosiman attended, and was later featured in photos posted by APU and in
. Mosiman also follows a number of accounts connected to the groyper movement on his X account.
“Like it or not, Nick Fuentes is becoming a force in the GOP, you all need to understand that,” Mosiman said in a March 2021 tweet. “Stop acting like it’s a few nut cases, it’s not. Ignoring it isn’t working.”
Mosiman went on to say that he wasn’t a Fuentes supporter but he had watched his “Afpac speech” and it “was not bad.”
In that 2021 AFPAC speech, Fuentes called the Jan. 6 insurrection, where seven people died, “lighthearted mischief” and stressed white nationalist talking points. Mosiman was also photographed in September 2021 protesting U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly by the groyper-aligned Arizona College Republicans United. The photograph was posted in Instagram with the caption “CRU executed a protest with Groypers against Senator Mark Kelly.”
Far-right YouTuber John Doyle, one of the featured speakers at the April 2022 APU event, organized a “Stop the Steal” rally in Michigan with Fuentes and has posted highly misogynistic content, such as saying that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Doyle, along with other members of APU, were also in attendance at the first 76Fest, which one of its organizers dubbed “Hitler Youth, without the Hitler.”
Mosiman also promoted an event in December 2021 that he called “one of the most based events of the year” which was being put on by Republicans for National Renewal, which has ties to ethno-nationalism, and co-hosted by APU.
That event brought local politicians face to face with a host of far-right extremists, including a number of prominent groypers.
APU has denied ties to white nationalism or knowledge of the significance of the date of its 4/20 event.
TPUSA and Arizona lawmakers
But Mosiman’s involvement in Arizona politics goes beyond the groyper movement.
Online, Mosiman often interacted with many local politicians, and in recent years started coming to the defense of conservative youth organization Turning Point USA.
“I used to be not a huge fan of TPUSA, but after seeing hard working and effective conservatives like (Austin Smith) and (Tyler Bowyer), I changed my mind,” Mosiman wrote on X in 2022, referring to two of the Arizona-based group’s leaders.
Both Smith and Bowyer are listed as members of the advisory team for the Arizona Young Republicans chapter that Mosiman leads. TPUSA did not respond to a request for comment for this story. Neither did Nancy Cottle, Republican state Rep. Matt Gress and GOP state Sen. Jake Hoffman, who were also listed as advisory board members.
The website for the Arizona Young Republicans went offline on Wednesday, but archived snapshots were still online.
“Without a doubt, Turning Point Action had the most meaningful grassroots impact on Arizona,” Mosiman wrote on X on Nov. 11, 2024, shortly after last year’s election. “Hats off to (Tyler Bowyer) and his phenomenal staff.”
Bowyer is the Chief Operating Officer of Turning Point Action, the political action arm of Turning Point USA.
TPUSA has long been a target of the groyper movement ,but in recent years has seen itself move farther to the right and courting controversy for hiring racists.

White nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes is making the rounds on podcasts with millions of viewers
Fuentes has drawn attention for his attempts to work “his way into the mainstream,” and he recently claimed he’s become “ubiquitous” among the right
Written by Jack Wheatley
:{Published 10/02/25
White nationalist streamer and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes is potentially spreading his extremist commentary to millions via guest appearances on numerous online shows. Since June, he's appeared on at least nine right-leaning podcasts and streaming shows — including some that don’t identify themselves as focused on news and politics — whose episodes have earned a total of over 7.2 million views on various social media platforms, as of publication.
In contrast, when Fuentes has posted the same episodes to his own Rumble account, he's gotten roughly a fourth as many views.
During these appearances, Fuentes has made comments such as “race is real” — an echo of his past commentary pushing “the idea that race is a biological reality” — and “Jewish people are an extraordinarily privileged group in America.” In recent months, Fuentes has drawn attention for his attempts to “leverage his rapidly growing audience” and work “his way into the mainstream,” and he recently claimed he’s become “ubiquitous” among the right, telling his audience: “Think about how far we've come in a year and a half … how similar to me they all sound.”
Fuentes is a white nationalist who says he's become “ubiquitous” among the right in recent years
- :{Fuentes is a white nationalist livestreamer who has peddled Holocaust denial, racism, misogyny, and election denial. Fuentes was present at the 2017 deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and addressed supporters outside the Capitol on January 6, 2021. On his show, America First with Nick Fuentes, which he streams on Rumble, Fuentes has crafted his persona around his disdain for Jewish people, telling his audience, “I’m just like Hitler.” He has also argued that “Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part.” In the past, Fuentes has been banned from numerous social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, and X (formerly known as Twitter), which reinstated him in 2024.

- Fuentes says he has become “ubiquitous” among the right recently, telling listeners: “Think about how far we’ve come in a year and a half … how similar to me they all sound,” and “think about how ubiquitous I have become in just that short amount of time.”He told listeners: “I was banned from attending CPAC, kicked out of Turning Point USA, banned from attending any speaking events hosted by any conservative campus group. … I was called a Nazi, antisemite, Holocaust denying racist by … Benny Johnson. That was my — Now I’m just telling you that so you understand that’s where I came from. That went on from 2017 until the beginning of last year. And think about how far we’ve come in a year and a half … how similar to me they all sound. And what just took place last week. What took place with Bradley Martyn, with Dinesh D’Souza, with Candace Owens. Look at the trajectory — it’s exponential. Look at the change in the conversation, how the Overton window has been shattered.” Rumble, *America First with Nick Fuentes*, [8/3/25]
- Fuentes has used appearances on YouTube shows to promote ideas about race including that “race is real,” which he said is “simply the idea that race is a biological reality.” On the No Jumper podcast in 2022, Fuentes said: “Why do Blacks commit 60% … of the violent crime? I think because there is a genetic basis for their behavior. And you know, Africans lived in Africa for thousands and thousands of years without a lot of mixing with people on other continents. The idea that we would all behave and think and be exactly the same as groups, to me, is somewhat ridiculous.” In July 2023, Fuentes joined the podcast Fresh & Fit, part of which streamed on YouTube before it was later removed, and stated, “I don’t believe in the Holocaust.” He went on to deny that 6 million Jewish people were killed in a network of death camps. Vox describes “race realism” as a repackaging of “the idea that genetic racial inequalities in everything from income to incarceration are best explained by Black and Latino people having lower IQs than white and Asian people.” Vox, [3/12/25; The New York Times, 9/9/25; Media Matters, 3/30/23, 7/12/23; YouTube, No Jumper, 10/19/22, 10/19/22]
- Fuentes was recently featured in a Wired article about his “plan to conquer America.”The piece said he’s trying to “leverage his rapidly growing audience, and a new level of influence among more mainstream figures in the GOP and MAGA movement, to build a nationwide secret society of sorts, which he believes will help bring his vision of an America dominated by white Christians to fruition.” Wired, [9/23/25]
- :{Fuentes has also drawn attention recently for publicly feuding with popular right-wing commentators Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson.According to reporting by the Bulwark, Fuentes participated in an interview with Owens — who posted the interview to her subscribers-only channel — that “went off the rails after she urged him to get married and have kids.” The report added, “Fuentes responded, essentially, by saying that as a woman, Owens had no place to tell him what to do.” And right-wing host Tucker Carlson has described Fuentes as a “weird little gay kid living in his basement.” In response, Fuentes has repeatedly drawn attention to the fact that Carlson’s father had ties to the CIA.

- ## During these appearances, Fuentes used the phrase “race is real” and said that Jewish people are “extraordinarily privileged,” he’s a “skeptic of democracy” but “less averse ... to an autocracy,” and that Andrew Tate’s commentary is “indispensable”
- OnSystem Update, Fuentes suggested that if he were in power, there would “need to be something done … something like voluntary segregation” or “reversing the Civil Rights Act.” Glenn Greenwald said to Fuentes, “Let’s envision a world in which you have, let's say quasi-dictatorial powers. … What about minorities who have been in this country for decades or centuries, generations? Black Americans, Latino Americans, Asian Americans, gay people. Like, what is the ideal vision of America that Nick Fuentes would shape in terms of how those groups would be treated?” In response, Fuentes said nonwhite Americans “should have the same rights and dignity as every other American,” but his “only concern, and what it‘s born out of, and the kind of nativist rhetoric or even to that extent white nationalist or white identitarian rhetoric, is the idea that the white American experience is going away, it‘s going extinct” because of “the demographic change in America” and “ethnic enclaves ... being set up all across the country.” He added, “If I could go in a time machine, I would undo this demographic change.” Rumble, *System Update with Glenn Greenwald*, [9/29/25]
- Fuentes also claimed on Greenwald’s show that “there's subraces in Europe” and that “a lot of Hispanics have a kind of white phenotype.” Fuentes said, “I do believe that our race is a part of our distinct identity,” adding that those immigrating to America today are “racially different” as compared to “the immigrants of a hundred years ago,” who he said were “racially European.” He also said of the future: “White people won't have power, and that's disconcerting for white people.” Rumble, *System Update with Glenn Greenwald*, [9/29/25]
- On thePBD Podcast, Fuentes said nonwhite people are “not quite like us” and suggested that white and Black people have different “genetics.”Fuentes said that in college, “the big topic” of debates he was having in person and online was “demographic change. America was a white country. It’s becoming a nonwhite country through immigration.” He added, “They’re not quite like us — can they ever be like us? What does it mean to be white versus Black, or white versus any other race, for that matter? ... You have white people and Black people, they come from specific places, and they bring with them their genetics, they bring with them their culture, their way of doing things.” YouTube, *PBD Podcast*, [9/23/25]
- Fuentes also told Bet-David that he’s more concerned about “Jews” than Muslims, saying they are “more powerful” in American society because “they are extremely connected.”He also claimed that “their Jewish identity supersedes their local identity,” and that’s “detrimental for America.” YouTube, *PBD Podcast*, [9/23/25]
- On theSecret Scholar Societypodcast hosted by Warren Smith on YouTube, Fuentes said, “I think race is real,” and argued that “as a society, we also have to judge based on groups.”A similar quote is attributed to Richard Spencer, who Politico reported is “the originator of the term ‘alt-right’ and an open white nationalist.” According to Spencer, “Race is real, race matters, and race is the foundation of identity.” YouTube, *Secret Scholar Society*, [8/6/25; Politico,January/February 2017]
- Fuentes also claimed on Smith’s show that democracy “has failed” and stated, “I’m less averse to a stronger executive, to a king, to an autocracy,” calling himself a “skeptic of democracy.”YouTube, *Secret Scholar Society*, [8/6/25]
- On an episode with Myron Gaines, Fuentes showered praise upon “manosphere” influencer Andrew Tate, who has pushed misogynistic rhetoric, with Fuentes saying, “I consider what you have built to be one of the most positive things that’s happened in the 2020s.”He also stated about Tate, “Your thing on patriarchy, in my opinion, is indispensable. It's literally indispensable.” Fuentes then added: “It's actually a good thing that we're in the Tate generation of young kids that are saying, you know, what color is your Bugatti and all. I think it's actually a really good thing.” Rumble, *The Debrief with MyronGainesX*, [8/14/24; Media Matters, 3/16/23]
- On Bradley Martyn’s showRaw Talkon YouTube, Fuentes said: “I’m a believer in race — I think that race is real.” Martyn asked Fuentes: “Like, are you a white supremacist?” to which he quickly replied: “No.” The U.S. Justice Department identified Fuentes as a white supremacist in a legal filing in 2021. YouTube, *Raw Talk*, [7/29/25; United States Department of Justice, 2/13/21]
- On a Kick stream with the Nelk Boys, Fuentes complained that “in our media, in Hollywood, American Jews are portrayed as the biggest victims” but said the “reality is, we all know, Jewish people are an extraordinarily privileged group in America.” He continued: “They’re one of the richest demographics, the most influential, the most educated. And, you know, people will say this is an antisemitic trope, but all you have to do is look at, when you look at ownership of the powerful elite institutions, whether it’s finance, whether it’s media, academia — these are just the facts — they’re overrepresented to an extraordinary degree.” Kick, *Nelk Boys*, [7/21/25]
- On theSam Hyde Showon YouTube, Fuentes said of Jeffrey Epstein’s death, “It became a meme, you know, Epstein didn't kill himself. The meme should have been the Jews killed Epstein to keep him shut.” YouTube, *Sam Hyde Show*, [8/9/25]

Glenn Greenwald says Nick Fuentes' authenticity makes it easy for critics to "demonize and attack you by taking these quotes that can sound not just very racist, but very almost Nazi-like and kind of an extermination rhetoric." Um, yea. People who use Nazi-like rhetoric tend to get labeled a Nazi.
kinda lost it on epstein?!

Finally, Nick Fuentes encourages white men to aspire to greatness, like Ted Kaczynski, Adolf Hitler, and Joseph Stalin: "We are dangerous. We are fearsome. We are a martial race."

HAS HE EVER DENOUNCED VIOLENCE BEFORE? CYA?
AN 9 25
Conservative leaders who initially rushed to blame “radical left” ideology in right‑wing activist Charlie Kirk’s killing have somewhat softened their tone since the suspect, 22‑year‑old Tyler Robinson of Utah, was identified.
In an article for the Guardian published Saturday, reporter Lauren Aratani noted that while they continue to condemn liberal ideas broadly, many conservatives shifted from harsh ideological indictments to more personal, cautious statements as new details emerged.
According to reports, Robinson's parents are registered Republicans. His own political leanings are still unclear. Authorities found social‑media photos showing him and his family posing with guns.

The alleged shooter was reportedly raised in a suburban area near St. George, Utah, in what appeared to be a supportive home. He achieved top marks on standardized exams, kept a perfect GPA, and had strong academic standing, as shown by posts from family and friends.
After finishing high school in 2021, he shared a video celebrating his acceptance at Utah State University along with a merit-based scholarship covering four years.
However, he only attended Utah State for one semester before taking a leave and did not return.
Still, some conservatives on social media are claiming he was "radicalized" at the university.

Meanwhile, Utah’s Gov. Spencer Cox (R) told investigators Robinson was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” citing but not detailing what led to that conclusion.
Early reporting claimed bullet casings from the suspect’s gun were engraved with trans‑and‑antifascist ideology, but media outlets later retracted or corrected some of those claims; what remains is that most of the inscriptions are reportedly memes or video‑game references.
Aratani noted that after the suspect’s identity was made public, some conservative critics shifted to emphasizing aspects like mental health, religious faith, or the need for prayer and compassion, rather than solely ideology. Earlier, many were calling for violence and revenge.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R‑S.C.), for instance, moved from demanding the death penalty to urging prayer for Robinson’s soul.

On Wednesday, the South Carolina Republican said “it’s time to bring back the death penalty” following Kirk’s murder.
But when his alleged murderer's identity was revealed on Friday, Mace said that Kirk “would want us to pray for such an evil and lost individual like Tyler Robinson to find Jesus Christ”.
“We will try to do the same,” she wrote on the social platform X.
The article also noted that White nationalist Nick Fuentes pushed back against suggestions that Robinson was a “Groyper,” a term for one of his followers, after reports surfaced about engravings on the bullets from the alleged shooter’s gun that fueled speculation about his beliefs.
The Groypers have long taken issue with Kirk, frequently heckling him at his events over the perception that Kirk is too centrist.
On social media, Fuentes declared, “Currently being framed for the murder of Charlie Kirk,” though in a streaming video he also said, “I pray to God there is no further violence.”
Despite the softening toward Robinson personally, many conservatives are still using Kirk’s death to attack liberal ideas and institutions, arguing that the broader political culture tolerates or even encourages hateful rhetoric, especially around gender identity and transgender issues.
Aratani highlighted how political narratives can shift when more facts come out: when the suspect was only a statistic or ideological cipher, criticism was sweeping. Once a specific background of the alleged shooter became identified, some of the most extreme rhetoric became more measured.

The New York Times}:
By Robert Draper
Reporting from Washington
Sept. 9, 2025
Until a month or two ago, Nicholas J. Fuentes was regarded by right-wing influencers as a mosquito-like interloper whose lifeblood was attention. Ignore his openly racist and sexist rants, their thinking went, and Mr. Fuentes would eventually flitter off into oblivion.
But today an entirely different consensus has emerged on the right. The footprint of the oratorically proficient late-night streaming show host has not dwindled in the least, with his tens if not hundreds of thousands of alienated young male conservatives followers known as Groypers, a nickname derived from an alt-right meme. If anything, his anti-Israel, anti-immigrant, anti-transgender and anti-civil-rights views seem to have gained new currency during the second Trump administration.
There is now growing alarm among leading conservatives about Mr. Fuentes, who routinely tests the cultlike devotion of his young male fans by savaging their patriarchal figure, President Trump, for not being right-wing enough. In the process, he has emerged as one of the loudest voices on the right to turn on the president.
“When I was a teenager, I thought he was a Caesar-like figure who was going to save Western civilization,” Mr. Fuentes, 27, said in an interview. “Now I view him as incompetent, corrupt and compromised.”
Specifically, he has criticized the president for showing solidarity with Israel over the war in Gaza, for refusing to release the Epstein files and for considering extending student visas to Chinese nationals. On Labor Day, Mr. Fuentes posted on social media, “Trump 2.0 has been a disappointment in literally every way but nobody wants to admit it.”
Asked to comment on Mr. Fuentes’s remarks, White House officials declined. Current and former members of the Trump administration as well as outside advisers would not be quoted for the record about Mr. Fuentes out of fear, they said, of inviting online attacks from him and his zealous followers. Three of them mentioned the sudden ubiquity of Fuentes-related clips circulating in their social media feeds.
Certain metrics attest to Mr. Fuentes’s surge. Since his X account was reinstated by Elon Musk 16 months ago, the number of his followers appears to have grown from roughly 140,000 to more than 750,000. His “America First” streaming show viewership on Rumble has quintupled to around 500,000.
“Fuentes represents the cutting edge of a right-wing racism that has surged over the past decade during the rise of Trump,” said Matt Dallek, a political historian and expert on right-wing movements at George Washington University. “And it’s clear that he’s becoming more prominent because these bigger influencers are now fighting with him.”
But Mr. Fuentes has yet to demonstrate that he can shape American politics on an electoral level. He said he is determined to thwart the presidential ambitions of Vice President JD Vance, who Mr. Fuentes described as “the end state of Trumpism, a complete fabrication who was created in a lab by Peter Thiel,” the Silicon Valley billionaire who bankrolled Mr. Vance’s 2022 campaign for Ohio’s open Senate seat.
Should Mr. Vance win the Republican nomination in 2028, Mr. Fuentes said he would urge his followers to “either stay home or vote for a protest candidate.”
Mr. Dallek said Mr. Fuentes’s animosity toward the vice president was telling. “He’s going after JD Vance at a time when Donald Trump is likely in the twilight of his political career,” Mr. Dallek said. “What we’re seeing is Fuentes, Carlson, Vance and others engaged in the battle to be the legitimate heir to Trumpism.”

Mr. Dallek was referring to Tucker Carlson, perhaps the pre-eminent media figure on the right, who unwittingly kicked off Mr. Fuentes’s coming-out party this summer. On his podcast in July, Mr. Carlson wondered aloud how Mr. Fuentes, whom he described as “this weird little gay kid living in his basement in Chicago,” could wield any influence at all.
Mr. Carlson then supplied the answer: Mr. Fuentes, he said, “is really talented, legit,” but is also “clearly part of a campaign to discredit noncrazy right voices.”
Mr. Fuentes responded on his show to Mr. Carlson’s attacks with characteristic bombast. After denying that he is gay, Mr. Fuentes chided Mr. Carlson for being a trust-fund elitist. He embraced his own status as more than just a leader “of real disaffected white people. You want to talk about me and them? I am them!”
Mr. Fuentes was widely seen as having gotten the better of the exchange. In August, the former Trump White House adviser Stephen K. Bannon reposted on the conservative social media platform Gettr a comment by a fellow right-wing podcaster, Vincent Oshana, that Mr. Fuentes “is freaking on fire right now” and then added his own terse appraisal: “Reality.” That same month, Dave Smith, a comedian and libertarian podcaster who has been disparaged by Mr. Fuentes for being Jewish, said, “He’s been canceled by everyone and he’s bigger than ever.”
A similar sentiment was begrudgingly offered by the podcaster Jason Whitlock, a Black conservative who has frequently criticized Mr. Fuentes for his racist commentary. “Young men are listening to Nick Fuentes,” Mr. Whitlock lamented on his show in August, “and he’s reveling in that.”
In the interview for this article, Mr. Fuentes insisted that he remains “an underground figure.” Unlike prominent right-wing influencers like Mr. Bannon, Charlie Kirk and Laura Loomer, he has no ties to the Trump White House. He has been prohibited from attending the conservative movement’s highest-profile gatherings: Mr. Kirk’s Turning Point USA events and the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC.
He has been banned on YouTube since 2020, for violating the platform’s hate speech policy. For the same reason, his name cannot be displayed on TikTok, an inconvenience that some of his followers have circumnavigated by posting clips of “Nick Fuentz” and other permutations. He has not been able to obtain the blue check mark on his X account that would allow him to amass paid subscribers. Instead, Mr. Fuentes said, his income derives from tips paid by viewers of his streaming show, as well as from merchandise that he sells on his website.

Mr. Fuentes has never seemed a likely candidate to lead a group built on the idea of white supremacy.
For one, his father, a vice president of a company that makes conveyor products, is half Mexican. Additionally, two individuals who knew him during his teenage years describe a lone wolf who was highly intelligent but also abrasive and condescending. Raised in La Grange Park, an upper-middle-class suburb of Chicago, he and his twin sister excelled in high school speech contests. A classmate recalls that as they began their senior year in the fall of 2015, Mr. Fuentes was an ardent supporter of the Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, with views very much in the mainstream of conservative politics.
In August 2017, a radicalized Mr. Fuentes emerged. That month, the 18-year old soon-to-be Boston University dropout joined the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., chanting, “You will not replace us” and claiming that white Americans were being subjected to a “cultural genocide.” Several national media outlets, including Time and NBC, interviewed Mr. Fuentes in the wake of Charlottesville, and several of Mr. Fuentes’s critics have suggested that he consciously began to stake out his turf as the most outrageous voice on the right.
On his show, streamed by the pro-Trump Right Side Broadcasting Network, he said, “I want people that run CNN to be arrested and deported or hanged.”

Mr. Fuentes’s hateful rhetoric began to extend to Holocaust denialism. “Six million cookies? I’m not buying it,” he said in 2019 in comparing baked cookies to the six million Jews who were exterminated by the Nazis. He made some brazenly racist comments that year as well. Jim Crow, he said, “was better for them; it’s better for us.”
Leading conservatives distanced themselves from him.
Mr. Fuentes gained additional notoriety during the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, when he stood a few hundred yards from the building and hollered through a megaphone, “Never relent!” Though Mr. Fuentes himself did not enter the Capitol, five Groyper associates did and were subsequently indicted. The F.B.I. spent several months investigating Mr. Fuentes but never brought charges against him.
Others on the right took notice of his burgeoning following of young male conservatives and deduced that he must be onto something. Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona gave the keynote speech at Mr. Fuentes’s America First Political Action Conference in 2021. A year later, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia did the same, though she later expressed regret, claiming that she had been unaware of Mr. Fuentes’s racist beliefs.
Later in 2022, Mr. Fuentes accompanied the rapper and presidential aspirant Kanye West to Mar-a-Lago to have dinner with Mr. Trump. In the interview, Mr. Fuentes said that he had been working on policy papers for Mr. West, “who wanted us to rewrite the U.S. Constitution and to include in it Hitler’s most severe policies and also his most moderate policies.”
He was surprised to have been let into Mar-a-Lago “because of who I am” and recalled spending most of the evening “glazing” the former president with flattery and encouraging him to give only unscripted speeches. Still, the fact that Mr. Trump had dined with a notorious bigot created a firestorm. His former ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, condemned the meeting as “unacceptable.”
Mr. Trump, Mr. West later said, “is really impressed with Nick Fuentes.” The former president insisted that he had no idea who his young dinner guest was.
‘Cheap Rage Bait’

Several conservative critics of Mr. Fuentes interviewed for this article asserted that he was little more than an internet version of a carnival barker, thriving in an attention economy that rewards the most extreme statements. In the interview, Mr. Fuentes acknowledged some validity to this view.
He recalled his mocking comment on X about women, right after Mr. Trump’s victory last year: “Your body, my choice?” That remark, Mr. Fuentes said, “was just trolling; it was cheap rage bait.”
What about questioning the Holocaust? “I’ve never taken a hard position,” he said, adding, “I’ve never done the deep dive into it, to tell you the truth.”
Mr. Fuentes suggested that his most outlandish musings were “when I was 18, at the beginning of the Trump movement. But I’ve become more moderate.” He added, “I would say that I’ve definitely mellowed with age.”
A review of Mr. Fuentes’s recent remarks indicates otherwise. He said on his show in July that “Hitler had aura” and chided Polish people for having “this bad habit of hating Hitler all the time.” Last month on X, he characterized the Indian American in-laws of Vice President JD Vance as “Uber drivers and call center scammers.” He also said on his show in August that all Black people should be “ashamed” of crimes committed by others of their race, adding, “White people are every single bit justified in being racist.”
“Ultimately it doesn’t really matter whether all of this is a put-on by Fuentes,” said Nicole Hemmer, a history professor at Vanderbilt University who specializes in conservatism, the presidency and media. “For seven or eight years now, he’s been pushing a consistent message of a world order in which white men are on top and hold that position through antidemocratic means. He doesn’t have to have the audience of Tucker Carlson or Fox News to be playing an important role in moving the political culture in a more radical, illiberal and violent direction.”
A correction was made on Sept. 9, 2025: An earlier version of this article misidentified the podcast on which Tucker Carlson commented on Nicholas J. Fuentes. It was on Mr. Carlson’s own podcast, not Candace Owens’s.
Robert Draper is based in Washington and writes about domestic politics. He is the author of several books and has been a journalist for three decades.

AN 7 25
A civil war is breaking out in the far-right media ecosystem, with some of the most popular MAGA podcasters now setting their sights on each other rather than Democrats.
In a Monday essay, Salon's Sophia Tesfaye delved into the right-wing podcast wars in which MAGA mascots like Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes are all taking a scorched-earth approach in their criticisms of each other. Tesfaye likened it to "watching the MAGA snake eat itself," calling it "one of the few silver linings in the Trump era."
Tesfaye began by recalling Carlson's most recent podcast episode, in which he interviewed Owens for approximately two hours. Both notably attacked Ben Shapiro, who is the co-founder of the far-right Daily Wire website, for his support of Israel's ongoing offensive in Gaza. They also attacked pro-Israel donors for revoking their support of certain universities in response to pro-Palestinian campus protests, saying they were being hypocritical for not doing the same following Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

Owens also lobbed shots at neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes — another MAGA-aligned podcaster who was once invited to dine with President Donald Trump and rapper Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago — during her interview with Carlson. Even though Owens invited Fuentes to her home studio for an interview on her podcast, she described her encounter with the Holocaust denier and white supremacist as "entirely fraudulent."

calling her a "DEI hire" and an "Uncle Tom token Black" who "thinks she's some kind of boss b——." He added that he was "done with all the Uncle Toms," including conservative media pundit Jason Whitlock, saying that they "built their career on a grift that is now dead."
The invective against the Jewish community and the pro-Israel lobby prompted MAGA influencer Laura Loomer — also known as President Donald Trump's unofficial "loyalty enforcer" — to observe that while she previously thought antisemitism was confined to the left, she "never realized how bad it was on the right until last year." Loomer also called Carlson a "liar and a propagandist, adding that "deep down, he’s a Trump hater too."
Tesfaye wryly noted at the end of her article that watching MAGA voices snipe at each other was somewhat cathartic: "There is some fleeting comfort in knowing how much the people who hate everyone also hate each other," Tesfaye wrote. "It’s kind of like 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians.' But at least that family’s wealth provides an aesthetically pleasing background."

Avowed neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes praised Candace Owens making the rounds on popular independent media platforms this week.
Fuentes, who has become notorious for his anti-semitic and misogynist screeds online, praised podcast hosts in the so-called “manosphere” for having on Owens as well as accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate in recent days. President Donald Trump’s 2024 win was linked to the “manosphere” by many pundits who argue that the popular podcasters helped him reach younger, male voters across the country.
“Candace on Theo Von and Theo Von’s clearly red pilled. Stephen A. Smith had Candace Owens on. He’s clearly red pill. Jason Whitlock is praising Andrew Tate. He’s clearly red billed. Andrew Tate is on NELK, red pilled. Tate is on PBD [Patrick Bet-David] spreading the message,” Fuentes began, before turning to Joe Rogan’s controversial guest on Wednesday.
“Ian Carroll on Joe Rogan and Joe Rogan seems to be– I don’t know if we could say he’s red pilled, but certainly he hints every now and again that he knows maybe more than he lets on,” Fuentes said. Rogan raised eyebrows by inviting Carroll on his popular show as Carroll has long spread wild conspiracy theories, like claiming that Israel was behind 9/11 and Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide.
“So it is a very exciting time and I love to see it,” Fuentes continued, before explaining how his white nationalist views are being furthered by the likes of Owens:
It does make me very happy. And it’s very white pilling because like I said ten years ago when I went to Charlottesville and we said Jews will not replace us. That sort of encapsulates both of the problems, right? Which is replacement migration. And if Jews run society, are they not responsible?
Back when I did that, I was radioactive, I was ostracized, I was canceled, they said my career was over. And largely it was The Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro who were responsible for that. Then they were untouchable at that point. And what a long decade it has been. What, a long eight years it has been since that time.
And now it’s almost reversed. Daily Wire is crashing and burning, desperate for relevance. Candace Owens has gone independent, going full red pill, talking about the things I’ve talked about on this show for years, it seems like the message is finally getting out there, so it’s pretty remarkable to see.
Owens exited the Daily Wire after feuding with Ben Shapiro over Israel and antisemitism and has made headlines throughout 2024 for her attacks on Jews, including claiming that a “small ring” of Jewish people in Hollywood and DC are involved in a “sinister” plot. She ended the year being labeled the “Antisemite of the Year” by a right-leaning watchdog group, which warned “There is no psychotic rabbit hole too extreme for this poisonous hater.”
Tate, who has recently relocated to Florida after Romania lifted his house arrest, joined the Full Send Podcast this week and said there is no free speech in American because there is no “speaking out against the Jews” – an anti-semitic trope related to Jewish control of the media.
Fuentes leads the so-called Groyper Army, a loose network of alt-right figures who are vocal supporters of white supremacy, often trolling mainstream conservative events to try and move the GOP more toward white nationalism.
Fuentes has long been active on the far right in American politics and in the past has hosted a conference meant to be counter-programming to CPAC, which included speeches by Reps.Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ). Reports have recently tied a former aide in Gosar’s office to Fuentes and the Groypers.
He famously joined anti-semitic rapper Kanye West for dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump just ahead of Trump announcing he would run in 2024. Fuentes has long stirred controversy by denying the Holocaust and calling for the execution of non-Christians.

Social media shows Antioch shooter was influenced by Holocaust deniers, white nationalists
Antioch High School.
Jordan Greenand Raw Story January 23, 2025
The 17-year-old who killed a female student at a high school in Nashville before taking his own life was an African-American Reserve Officers' Training Corp member who hated Black people and identified as involuntarily celibate, according to a manifesto apparently posted by him online.
A document outlining the views was posted to the X account of the shooter, Solomon Henderson, along with a photo of a handgun in a backpack that appears to have been taken in a bathroom before he walked into the cafeteria at Antioch High School and opened fire around 11 a.m. Central Time. Henderson’s X account was still active, with the link at the time of publication.
In a question-and-answer section in the document, Henderson indicated the attack was motivated by “hatred” of Black people referenced through a racial slur. Europeans, according to the shooter, “need to be protected because they are conquerors, inventors and revolutionary’s [sic] thinkers.” It goes on to accuse Jews of subverting Europeans and imperiling their existence, echoing the racist Great Replacement theory.
ALSO READ: Trump's MAGA America revives a Confederate nightmare
The final page of a diary that was also posted on the shooter’s X account shows a photograph of Henderson, accompanied by the inscription: “God I am ugly. 4 hours to go.”
An entry in the position document on Henderson's opinions of Black people includes a litany of shockingly dehumanizing and ultraviolent descriptors of murder and atrocities.
Henderson credited less than a dozen internet personalities, mostly far-right influencers with radicalizing him.
The list includes Candace Owens, a Black conservative who left the Daily Wire website founded by Ben Shapiro last March following a string of increasingly antisemitic comments. In 2019, Owens testified before a House subcommittee hearing on white supremacist terrorism as a witness for the Republican minority. Owens lashed out at another witness during the hearing, saying, “The audacity of you to bring up the Christchurch shooting manifesto and make it seem as though I laughed at people that were slaughtered by a homicidal maniac is in my opinion absolutely despicable.”
Henderson wrote: “To expand on this, Candace Owens has influenced me above all. Each time she spoke I was stunned by her insights and her own views helped push me further and further into the belief of violence over the Jewish questions.”
Henderson also said he was influenced by Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist and Holocaust denier who dined with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, and Ethan Ralph, a far-right podcaster who helped stoke the Gamergate controversy, a culture war flashpoint in 2014 that proved to be a staging ground for a misogynist backlash against women’s participation in gaming and other male-dominated spaces.
Henderson describes himself as a "Groyper incel," using terms that respectively refer to Fuentes followers and the involuntary celibate, or incel, movement.
Fuentes responded to the shooting by acknowledging that Henderson called himself a 'groyper,' but distanced himself from the attack in a post on X.
The document also credits the rapper Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) with inspiring his violence and extremism.
Henderson's position document pays tribute to an array of white supremacist mass murderers, including Patrick Crusius, who carried out a massacre targeting Hispanics in El Paso, Texas, in 2019; Brenton Tarrant, who killed Muslims at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019; and Anders Breivik, who murdered young people at a youth camp in Norway in 2011.
Henderson's document expresses support for neo-Nazi ideals, which he described as "a better, neater, cleaner world by eliminating all undesirables." He added, "We must aid the Aryans regardless of our race."
Henderson’s diary indicates that he had initially planned to attack on Thursday, but decided to move it up to Wednesday because he wanted “to speed things up.” He said he was “scared of failing to kill myself and then going to jail,” and that his “goal was to kill at least 10 people.”
He wrote on X that he had saved money for a GoPro camera "but it was hard to explain to my parents why I needed it so I couldn't buy it." Henderson's X account includes a link to the streaming platform Kick.com, where three videos documenting his attack were posted. The videos have since been taken down from that site, although Henderson's X account remains active.
Henderson’s X account re-shares posts from four other accounts that promote violence, self-hatred, white supremacy and the incel movement. Some of the accounts show pictures of the users making the A-OK hand signal and writing, “Goodbye everyone.”
The similarities suggest some degree of coordination, although it is unclear whether the other account owners carried out attacks of their own.
Henderson said he had "connections" to some of the other shooters, although "only loosely via online messaging platforms."
In a section of his position document, Henderson paid tribute to what he called "new gen cases," including Natalie Rupnow, the 15-year-old girl who fatally shot two students at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, last month.

"Marla Rose, a 57-year-old Berwyn resident, told cops that after seeing an online Fuentes post 'in regards to women’s rights' that declared, 'Your body my choice,' she decided to 'record a video' of Fuentes’s Berwyn property. While recording, Rose said, a female passerby 'encouraged her to speak with Nicholas, so she...rang his front doorbell.'"
Upon ringing the bell, Fuentes emerged from the house an immediately sprayed her with pepper spray and then pushed her down the stairs.

KEEPS FLIP FLOPPING? AN 11 24
Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes branded MAGA a cult and declared that “liberals are right” in a rant Saturday.
The infamous Holocaust denier and admirer of Adolf Hitler — who caused outrage in late 2022 when he was invited to a dinner at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, along with rapper Kanye West — spoke out after seeing reaction to the “garbage” gaffe made by President Joe Biden this week.
MAGA followers had jumped on their interpretation of Biden’s comment, meant as a condemnation of a right-wing comedian calling Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage” at a Trump rally.
Trump's followers claimed he was saying they were garbage.
“At the Trump rallies, they’re yelling trash for Trump, trash for Trump,” Fuentes said, as reported bythe Daily Beast.
“And I saw other people. I saw white guys. I saw Hispanic guys, Hispanic guys inside trash cans jumping out of them with Trump signs, white guys with garbage bags that say trash for Trump.”
“That was the moment when I realized Trumpism was a cult. That was the moment when I realized liberals are right. That was the moment when I realized it had gone too far. It is Frankenstein’s monster. We have created a golem. It is a problem.”
Fuentes, once a hugely outspoken Trump fan, has recently been more critical.
ALSO READ:'Chosen by God': A new kind of convert is making the pilgrimage to see Trump
“You know, for years, liberals said it’s a cult. You’re in a cult. And I said, well you’re going to jail. It is a cult, and we’re in it, and you are going to jail: that’s how I felt about it for the past eight years,” he said.
“But then I saw them dressing up as trash, like uncritically, just dressing up as garbage, and saying, ‘We’re garbage. Yeah, we’re garbage.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I think we have a problem.’”
He also criticized Trump’s off-message speeches at his rallies.
“Trump goes up and gives these ridiculous rallies, rambling for hours, talking about Hannibal Lecter and other stuff,” he said.
“Then he defends it and says he’s weaving. People go, ‘This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.’ Like, no, it isn’t. These are not like the Trump rallies from the beginning.”

A Big Ripoff’: White Nationalist Nick Fuentes Blasts Trump for Admitting He Lost the 2020 Election
By Kyle Mantyla | September 4, 2024
In addition to being a Hitler–loving racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobicChristian nationalist fascist, white nationalist Nick Fuentes was also deeply involved in the “Stop The Steal” movement following the 2020 election and was outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
While Fuentes was once a zealous supporter of former President Donald Trump and even dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, the adoration has since faded, partially because Trump tapped Sen. J.D. Vance, who has a non-white, non-Christian wife, as his running mate. Recently, Fuentes openly declared war on the Trump campaign, vowing to deploy activists in swing states for the purpose of depriving Trump of votes.
Fuentes’ disgust with Trump only increased after the former president seemingly finally admitted that he lost the 2020 election, which contradicted everything Trump has said for the last four years and essentially destroyed the justification for the entire “Stop The Steal” effort. (Later in the same interview, however, Trump nevertheless called the election “a fraud.”)
“He says, ‘Oh, I lost by a whisker,'” Fuentes griped during his Tuesday night livestream. “So what was the point? What’s the point of any of it? You lost in 2020? Seriously? What are we even doing anymore? Then you’re a loser. You just lost. Then you lost to Joe Biden.”
Fuentes noted that if Trump knows that he lost the 2020 election, then he “deserves to be charged” by special counsel Jack Smith for his efforts to overturn the results of the election.
“That actually vindicates the DOJ charge against him!” Fuentes declared. “Because the charge is that he knew he lost but he lied to defraud the people.”
“So, why did we do Stop the Steal?” Fuentes demanded to know. “Why did anyone go to Jan. 6? Why is anyone sitting in jail? Why did anything bad happen to anybody? Why did everyone get censored? Why is everything bad that has happened to the people that were involved, why did that need to happen if you’re just going to walk it all back and say, ‘Oh, I lost’?”
“Well, it would have been good to know that before 1,600 people got charged,” he continued. “It would have been good to know that before I had all my money frozen, [was] put on the No Fly List, [got] banned from everything, lost all banking and payment processing. It would have been good to know that before I, in 2017, dedicated my life to this as an 18 year-old in college. It just feels like a big ripoff.”
“It just goes to show what a tremendous betrayal it is,” Fuentes said. “It’s just such a callous indifference to the sacrifices that his supporters made on his behalf.”

Donald Trump amplified a vulgar joke about Vice President Kamala Harris performing a sex act. He falsely accused her of staging a coup to secure the Democratic nomination and faulted her without evidence for a security lapse that enabled a rogue gunman to try to assassinate him. He shared a manipulated online image of Bill Gates in an orange jumpsuit and a call for Barack Obama to face a “military tribunal.” He promoted explicit tributes to the QAnon conspiracy theory. He hawked digital trading cards in an online infomercial along with pieces of his debate night suit.

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

NICK FUENTES: And the thing is, like, Trump is a delegator. He’s unfortunately, he’s not hands on. Now that’s good news and bad news, but it depends on who’s under him. If he has good people under him, then, you know, they can do what they got to do. If there’s bad people under him, they’re going to do what they’re going to do. So, you know, it’s really, at this point, just a war to define the administration because he is just kind of sitting on top of this pile, and seems kind of indifferent.
And that was the impression that I got even at the dinner. I mean, me — I was all — you know, [Ye] was, like, egging me on.
…
So we go to the dinner, and Ye is like — I was kinda glazing Trump. I was like, “Look, man. Like, I love you. You’re just the best, you know? You’re one of the greatest Americans.” And [Ye] is like — he’s — I could tell he didn’t like I was glazing him so much. He’s like, “Nah nah. Tell him some of that stuff you’re saying yesterday.” I was like, “Well” — I’m like, “Well, you know, I don’t know.” I’m like, “Look, I’m just a guy, I’m just grateful, you know? I just respect your sacrifice and what you’ve done. I’m just a — I’m a young guy. I’ve you know, I’m not someone who’s supposed to be telling you what to do.” And he’s like, “No. Come on. Don’t be bashful.”
And I said, “Look.” I said, “I’ll put it this way.” I’m like, “When you raised your hand in 2015 when they said you wouldn’t endorse the nominee,” I said, “that showed that you are not controlled by Republicans.” I said, “And that was so bold.” I said, “You were willing to let them lose.” I said, “And now I feel like that’s not the case anymore.” I said, “You know, we’re not here for Ronna McDaniel. We’re not here for Kevin McCarthy. These people are traitors.” I’m like, “We’re here for you. Like, the people love you. I love you. I don’t like them.” I’m like, “So if it’s them, I’m not in.” And, so he was kind of, like, aware of that. He was, like, kind of this knowing like, “Ah, yeah, yeah. OK.”
And he was even kind of giving that back. He's like, “Oh, you’re pretty hard core.” He goes, “Oh, I know you like” — he was talking about something. He’s like, “Oh, I know you like that. You’re pretty hard core.” You know, so he could — he was picking up that I was, like, a nationalist. Like, I was a member of his base. So he’s clearly hip. Like, he knows what’s up, but he's just, I don't know. The follow through's just not there.

MAGA figures are suddenly afraid that Trump will lose and are looking for someone to blame.
On July 30, Project 2025 Director Paul Dans suddenly stepped down, even after promoting his work on War Room earlier in the day. The Trump campaign, in a memo signed by senior advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, celebrated, even claiming they would welcome Project 2025’s demise.
But outside of the right-wing bubble, the PR move seems to have failed in its attempt to distance Trump from Project 2025.
As New York Times reporter Jonathan Swan noted, the Trump campaign reportedly has no transition plan — even compared to 2016 — and will need to rely on Project 2025 for staffing should he prevail in the election this fall. (This is also a reason why Project 2025 partner positions matter as much as what is in the official Project 2025 book: These are the people who would be in a position of power for staffing the federal government, especially if Trump follows through on threats to lay off thousands of federal civil servants.)
Other journalists and analysts reported similarly.
Project 2025 is the policy platform and staffing database organized by the Heritage Foundation for the next Republican presidential administration. The extreme policies have proved to be very unpopular with the American people, and this unpopularity seemingly led the Trump campaign to force Dans to resign.
The situation was already a tinderbox since Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democrats' likely presidential nominee, replacing President Joe Biden, since Trump’s campaign was reportedly designed to face Biden instead of Harris; switching MAGA’s messaging on a dime was going to be no easy task.
Before Harris took the reins, Trump had complained about Project 2025, even as Project 2025 contributors were invited to speak at the Republican National Convention, a key Project 2025 figure was appointed to the RNC’s platform committee, and Trump himself named the elected official perhaps most closely tied to Project 2025 as his new vice presidential nominee.
Inside the MAGA bubble, recriminations and blame are growing as Trump’s electoral position apparently grows weaker.
Nick Fuentes, the white nationalist, Holocaust denier, and groyper leader who dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, has been railing at LaCivita for a while. Just days ago, Fuentes bragged that his audience is more loyal to him than it is to Trump and said that he would not vote in 2024 because the people closest to Trump, like LaCivita and Wiles, are not loyal to America First ideals.
Wiles and LaCivita’s decision to turn on Project 2025 so publicly has only made this wound larger.
Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich jumped in, writing that Project 2025 people were “loyal to the end” and that LaCivita is “preparing a coup against Trump.”
MAGA figures the Hodgetwins wrote that they don’t trust LaCivita and Wiles and that Trump needs “OG loyalists” to win the election.
Fuentes posted about the LaCivita/Wiles statement, and in replies and quotes, groypers directed rage against the pair. Groyper-aligned figure Tyler Russell reacted on a stream to Dans’ resignation, saying Fuentes was correct and LaCivita “needs to be the first person in jail.” He also added, “Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita — fuck both of you.”
White nationalist Vincent James Foxx also wrote that “Trump disavowing Project 2025 should be concerning because he's literally disavowing what he ran on in 2016.”
Daily Wire host Matt Walsh implored the Trump campaign to stop trying to disavow Project 2025.
Fox contributor Mollie Hemingway claimed that the Trump campaign was bowing to “left wing media lies.”
Noted extremist Pedro Gonzalez also criticized the decision.
This is not to say that all of MAGA is on the side of Project 2025 here. MAGA thought leader Catturd railed against the project, writing, “The Heritage Foundation doesn’t get to write this dumb 2025 project and get to pretend it’s Trump’s idea or something we real citizens (grassroots Trump supporters) support. Seriously, who in TF do these narcissists think they are speaking for us and Trump?”
Trump meme team leader Brenden Dilley simply wrote, “Fuck Heritage. Right in the ass.” (Bannon acolyte Grace Chong in turn harshly criticized Dilley.)
This is all quite reminiscent of 2016, when frequent turmoil roiled the Trump campaign, and he on a few occasions switched who was in charge, eventually settling on Steve Bannon less than 90 days before the election. Whatever solution Trump lands on this time will have to be different: Bannon is currently in federal prison.

- Finally, Tim Barton’s assertion that Christians always led the movements to stop bad things in American history provides a key insight into how Christian nationalists formulate their mythology by intentionally leaving out the fact that often those who fought to preserve those bad things were also Christians. While some Christians opposed and fought against slavery, other Christians defended and fought for slavery—the same for Jim Crow segregation and the violence that sustained it.

charlie Kirk’s Turning Point connects far-right extremists with the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign
The Turning Point event this past weekend featured a number of extremists, with at least two speakers using the phrase “Christ is king” — an antisemitic dog whistle long favored by the white nationalist “groyper” movement
WRITTEN BY JOHN KNEFEL

PUBLISHED 06/18/24
Several right-wing extremist figures spoke at a weekend event organized by conservative radio host Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point Action, which is partnering with the Republican National Committee and former President Donald Trump's campaign. At least two speeches included the phrase “Christ is king,” an antisemitic dog whistle long favored by white nationalists.
Speakers at The People’s Convention included right-wing pundit Candace Owens, who has a history of making antisemitic remarks and appears to be associating herself with Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes; neo-Nazi collaborator and Pizzagate conspiracy theory peddler Jack Posobiec; and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. The presence of these figures is not surprising, given the significant ties Kirk and Turning Point have to right-wing extremists and white nationalists.
The three-day summit illustrated how Turning Point Action and its affiliate Turning Point USA have come to serve as a bridge between official Republican Party institutions and the more openly bigoted and extremist elements of Trump’s movement. Over the weekend, CNN reported that the Trump campaign is working with Turning Point Action. Politico wrote that Turning Point “has become a central player in the party apparatus,” as “part of recent collaborations between the [Trump] campaign, RNC and outside groups.” In May, The Washington Post reported that the RNC was adopting a “leaner” approach and was considering outsourcing much of its voter outreach to TPUSA and other right-wing organizations.
Speaking directly after Kirk on the event’s opening day, Owens opened and closed her speech with the phrase “Christ is king” — a slogan long used by Fuentes’ “groyper” movement that has gained antisemitic connotations through its use in far-right-wing contexts. Last November, Owens used the phrase to troll Ben Shapiro, her then-colleague at The Daily Wire — one flare-up in a monthslong feud between the two. The Daily Wire and Owens “ended their relationship” in March, according to CEO Jeremy Boreing.
“When you do come together and you do start a family, for the love of God, put Christ first,” Owens said, prompting an audience chant of: “Christ is king.”
“Correct, and we’re going to lead out on that chant,” Owens responded.
Owens then claimed that Democrats and liberals are bringing “the full weight of the government” against Trump, but that “Trump is just one step — they’ve always been after Jesus Christ.”
“Christ is king,” Owens said in closing.

On the third day of the event, Posobiec echoed Owens.
“We understand this is a war against the demonic, this is a spiritual war!” Posobiec shouted, raising a rosary in his clenched fist. “We can only defeat a spiritual war with Christ as king because Christ is king.”
“Christ is king,” he repeated.
That phrase wasn’t the only example of the groypers’ influence on Turning Point. In 2021, Chet Hanks attempted to manufacture a viral moment for himself by calling for a “white boy summer,” but the phrase was quickly adopted by neo-Nazis and other extremists, including followers of Fuentes. On Sunday, Posobiec took the stage next to a banner reading “WHITE BOY SUMMER” and tossed hats branded with the slogan to the crowd.

Posobiec then introduced Jones, appearing fresh off a court order to liquidate his assets in order to pay surviving members of the Sandy Hook massacre whom he’d repeatedly defamed by claiming the shooting was a false flag.
“The answer to 1984 is 1776,” Jones said before attempting to lead the crowd in a “1776” chant — a dog whistle that signifies opposition to the anti-racist 1619 Project.
“Just three or four days ago, the great folks at Turning Point Action invited me on here. I’m very blessed and honored to be here,” Jones said before pushing an election denialist conspiracy theory. “We are in the very center, the TCF Center, where almost four years ago, in the dead of night, they stole the election not just from our amazing president, but from us.”
Later in his speech, Jones repeated another conspiracy theory he’d helped spread in May when he falsely claimed President Joe Biden had hatched a scheme to kill Trump. “They are going to try to assassinate President Trump, make no mistake about that,” Jones said.

Posobiec, standing next to Jones, praised his career. “Alex Jones has spent 30 years being the loudest voice for freedom, for liberty, and for anti-war that this world has seen,” Posobiec said.
Other notable speakers included anti-LGBTQ extremist James Lindsay and QAnon conspiracy theory peddler Scott Presler, who was present during the January 6 attempted insurrection and previously worked at anti-Muslim hate group Act for America. In March, RNC co-chair Lara Trump said she was interested in hiring Presler to be “part of the team” to help with “the largest legal ballot harvesting operation in the entire country,” which will be “started by the RNC.”

during an April 30 stream, Holocaust denier and far-right media figure Nick Fuentes claimed that conservative student group Turning Point USA is being taken over by young extremists associated with his “groyper” movement.
Fuentes appeared on a Rumble stream with misogynistic pro-Nazi influencer Sneako (real name Nico Kenn De Balinthazy). Also present on the stream — but not weighing in on Turning Point USA specifically — was white nationalist and self-described “raging antisemite” Keith Woods.
“I think that what is driving the trend right now is just that the young people are all with the groypers, you know, the young people are all with me,” Fuentes said. “You know, I think every conservative in America under the age of 25 has been influenced by the groypers.”
“Turning Point, we had a big rivalry with them and they hated us, they fired everyone that was associated with me, and then this past year, their CFO Tyler Bowyer said, well, you know, some groypers are OK,” he continued.
“That’s because they all work for Turning Point now,” Fuentes added. “They can’t hire anybody that isn’t a groyper because there aren’t anybody under 25 that aren’t a groyper.”

Fuentes appeared to be referencing Turning Point Action Chief Operating Officer Tyler Bowyer, who said that some of Fuentes’ groypers are “OK-ish” and “just want to have an honest debate” while appearing on TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk’s podcast to defend former Daily Wire host Candace Owens, who recently left the right-wing outlet following a string of comments against Jewish people.

Fuentes and Turning Point USA’s previous schism stemmed from claims that the student group is not radical or “pro-white” enough. The groypers regularly trolled Turning Point USA events by attacking speakers during Q&A sessions over issues such as immigration and support for Israel, and Kirk’s group barred groypers from attending its events and cut ties with members of its ambassador program for being linked to Fuentes and other white nationalists.
Kirk and Turning Point USA are now closely linked to the Republican National Committee while Bowyer, a GOP committeeman, was recently indicted by a grand jury in Arizona for being part of former President Donald Trump’s fake elector scheme to overturn the 2020 election.
Fuentes himself famously dined with Trump and the pro-Hitler rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West) at Mar-a-Lago in November 2022. Additionally, Sneako, the host of the Rumble show where Fuentes appeared, also has links to the Republican Party. In February, Sneako interviewed Nevada Lt. Gov. Stavros Anthony at a Trump event, discussed collaborating with Donald Trump Jr. in 2023, and reportedly has an interview in the works with Trump Jr.
Here is a breakdown of some of Fuentes and Sneako’s pro-Nazi and antisemitic rhetoric:
- Fuentes has repeatedly praised Adolf Hitler and compared himself to him.
- Fuentes has denied the Holocaust and called for “perfidious Jews” to be executed.
- At an antisemitic rally, Fuentes called for a “holy war” against Jewish people.
- At that same event, Sneako said Fuentes will be president one day.
- While probing a German woman about her sex life in a stream uploaded to X (formerly Twitter), Sneako made antisemitic comments and said he wanted to do the fascist Roman salute “so bad.”
- On X, Sneako posted a picture of Hitler and wrote, “this nigga had aura.”
- During a livestream on Rumble, Sneako said that “the Nazis had drip” and that the swastika is “aesthetically pleasing.”
- While livestreaming with influencer Adin Ross, Sneako refused to call Hitler evil.
- Sneako wrote on X that people should not “bash” Hitler for killing Jewish people and wished him a happy birthday.
- On the No Jumper podcast, Sneako pushed antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jewish people.

On Monday, Jonathan Kott — a former aide to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) — appeared on a panel hosted by Fox News' Harris Faulkner, and recalled when former President Donald Trump dined with an avowed Nazi at his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022. Faulkner then bristled at his comment. Washington Post columnist Philip Bump opined that Faulkner's refusal to acknowledge that event is likely due to her employer's refusal to adequately cover the story.
During a discussion about President Joe Biden's age, Kott said that he would "rather have a president who maybe has a stutter once in a while than one who spews conspiracy theory, racist nonsense and has dinner with Nazis." Both Faulkner and conservative radio host Tammy Bruce pushed back, though Kott defended the accusation. Faulkner then complained that Kott was "sadly" resorting to name-calling despite her previous praise that he didn't engage in low-brow tactics.
In a Tuesday analysis for the*Post*, Bump said that Faulkner and Bruce may have genuinely been unaware that Trump hosted rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West) for dinner along with far-right influencer Nick Fuentes, due to the network's bare-bones coverage of the event. At the time, Trump defended the dinner as "quick and uneventful" and argued that he only invited Ye, while the rapper invited Fuentes and two others without Trump's knowledge.
READ MORE:White supremacist who dined with Trump calls for 'death penalty' for non-Christians: report
Kott describing Fuentes as a "Nazi" is an appropriate term, given his past public statements. The Texas Tribune wrote in October that Fuentes "often praises Adolf Hitler and questions whether the Holocaust happened."
"He has called for a 'holy war' against Jews and compared the 6 million killed by the Nazis to cookies being baked in an oven," the Tribune reported. "He wants the US government under authoritarian, 'Catholic Taliban rule,' and has been vocal about his disdain for women, Muslims, the LGBTQ+ community and others.”
Bump noted Fuentes dining with Trump was a major news story, given his openly racist and anti-Semitic viewpoints. Last year, CBS News — which described Fuentes as a "white supremacist and Holocaust denier" — reported that Fuentes' views were too odious even for the organizers of the far-right Conservative Political Action Conference, which kicked him out of the America Conservative Union's 2023 gathering (CPAC may have since softened its views on having nazi attendees, with NBC News finding that nazis were seen mingling at CPAC 2024 and were not kicked out).
In December of 2022, according to Bump, the Trump/Ye/Fuentes dinner story was "mentioned in 89 segments on CNN and more than twice that number on MSNBC."
READ MORE:DeSantis says Fox News too scared to hold Trump to account: 'Worried about losing viewers'
"On Fox, though? It was only mentioned seven times, total," he wrote. "This is very much in keeping with a long-standing pattern at the channel. News that is bad for Trump is muted or limited — including poll numbers from the network’s own pollsters."
To emphasize his point, Bump broke down coverage of similar major news events that were unflattering for the former president, and contrasted how many times Fox's competitors covered that story with the scant mentions the story received on Fox's airwaves. He observed that while CNN and MSNBC carried the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack's primetime hearings, Fox not only refused to broadcast it, but instead allowed then-host Tucker Carlson to air counter-programming downplaying the significance of the siege on the US Capitol.
Bump also analyzed coverage of writer E. Jean Carroll's sexual abuse and defamation lawsuits against the former president, finding that while MSNBC covered them in 4,800 15-second segments and CNN ran 2,000 segments, Fox News ran just 240. This pattern continued in coverage of Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents — while CNN and MSNBC ran roughly 4,900 segments on the story since August of 2022, Fox gave the story approximately 80% less airtime. However, the network has offered significantly more coverage of stories unflattering to President Joe Biden. Bump reported that Fox has ran approximately 38,000 segments about Biden's son, Hunter, since 2021, including more than 4,200 segments in just one month.
The columnist wrote that the network may counter that it "simply serves as a counterpoint to an organized left-wing narrative, hence its focus is different than CNN and MSNBC." Fox News' longtime motto, "fair and balanced," was officially dropped in 2017, after Trump assumed the presidency.

earlier this month, racist conspiracy theorists Edward Szall and Lauren Witzke welcomed antisemitic fascist Vincent James onto their “CrossTalk” program where the three asserted that gay people should be forced back into the closet so that they won’t get beaten up, abused, and harassed … by people like them.
Just days following that program, Szall was in Iowa for the Republican presidential caucus and managed to have his photo taken with former President Donald Trump.
On the latest episode of “CrossTalk,” Szall recounted his meeting with Trump, which prompted Witzke to fantasize about Trump going “full dictator.”
“Did you tell him to go scorched earth?” Witzke asked Szall. “I would have told him, ‘President Trump, I want you to throw Hillary Clinton in Gitmo, Obama in Gitmo, just all of them. Clean up the federal government and send them to Guantanamo Bay.’ I hope he goes full dictator, scorched earth, catapulting illegals over the wall. That would be awesome.”
Szall replied that he could not reveal the details of “any private conversation” he had with Trump, but did say that Trump “told us he has really appreciated our work.”
Witzke, who was the Republican nominee for a seat in the U.S.Senate in 2020 and has said that she is “seriously considering” running again in 2024, has become increasingly open about her desire to see Trump returned to power so that he can execute his political enemies and turn this nation into a “theocratic monarchy” under the permanent control of the Trump family.
Witzke is not the only white nationalist vocalizing her support for a Trump dictatorship. Just last night, white nationalist Christian fascist activist Tyler Russell used a livestream broadcast on Nick Fuentes’ “anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-Black, antisemitic” streaming platform to proclaim that “we want Trump to be the dictator.”...twt]

:{:{Over the holidays, racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobicChristian nationalist Nick Fuentes hosted an 13-hour “Moneybomb Marathon Stream” to raise money for his America First movement heading into 2024.}:
Among the guests were far-right activists and commentators Gavin McInnes, Keith Woods, Elijah Schaffer, Stew Peters, and Vincent James, an unapologetic racist, antisemite, misogynist, conspiracy theorist, and fascist, who currently serves as the treasurer of Fuentes’ white nationalist America First organization.}:
During their discussion, Fuentes and James spent a good deal of time reminiscing about their years of working together to spread their shared racist, antisemitic, and fascist worldview while commiserating over the fact that their dedication to spreading that worldview has largely ruined their respective lives.
Fuentes and James asserted that all of their efforts are starting to pay off, as younger far-right activists are now able to say the sorts of things that have turned Fuentes and James into social pariahs without “having to make the same sacrifices” that they did.
In fact, said James, he and Fuentes are basically the Rosa Parks and/or Martin Luther King Jr. of bigoted fascist far-right activists.
“We’ve reached millions of people,” Jamesvid. “There’s a big benefit to that but it’s something—I’m not saying that I regret it, I’m just saying that it’s not easy. It’s not for the weak, that’s for sure. To go through the things that we [have]—journalists stalking us and shit like that—it’s not for the weak.”
“The fact that we have sort of paved the way and made it easier for people to talk about these things,” he continued, “you’re kind of jealous. It’s like, ‘What the fuck man?’ It’s like, ‘Dude, I lost my job, all these things happened to me, I lost my bank account to say these things.’ It’s kind of like, almost, you know, Martin Luther King in a way, kind of, or Rosa Parks.”
“Yeah,” Fuentes agreed. “We’re the first ones. We’re the ones getting beaten down and firehosed.”
“Yeah, it’s kind of like that,” James replied. “It’s almost exactly like how those Blacks were hit with fire hoses.”
:{It is also worth highlighting Stew Peters’ participation in Fuentes’ livestream, as not only did Peters speak at Fuentes’ last AFPAC conference, but he has had both Fuentes and James on his program recently, and is now helping to raise funds for the America First organization.
Given that Peters regularly manages to get Republican leaders, elected officials, and candidates for office to appear on his own program, it is becoming imperative that any GOP elected official or candidate who agrees to appear on Peters’ program be held accountable for giving credibility to someone who is not only actively raising money for fascists but is, himself, a unhinged and dangerous far-right activist who openly advocates the overthrow of the U.S. government.}:

last year Donald Trump dined with two anti-Semites, Kanye West and Nick Fuentes, at his Mar-a-Lago resort and residence, drawing massive outrage while revealing to many Americans for the first time who Fuentes is: a white supremacist, Christian nationalist, anti-LGBTQ, authoritarian extremist who supports Trump’s “America First” doctrine.
In his livestream show on Sunday titled, “The Great Replacement is about White GENOCIDE,” Fuentes called for the “death penalty” for non-Christians, according to Right Wing Watch (video below). “Antisemitic white nationalist Christian fascist Nick Fuentes says that when his America First movement takes power, all non-Christians will be executed,” RWW reported.
NCRM has located the full video and is publishing a longer version of Fuentes’ remarks.
“There is an occult element at the high levels of society, and specifically among the Jews, and you know, whenever I see that stuff that just makes me want to proclaim louder and more firmly and more rigidly that it is nothing other than Jesus Christ. No, no pagan stuff, no false gods, no deities, no demons. It is Jesus Christ and we need to start saying that name,” Fuentes said.
“It’s the name Jesus, talk about it, say it. Pray to Him, talk about the sacrifice on the cross, that’s the answer. Because so many of the people that are perpetrating the lies and the destruction on the country, they are evil doers. They are people that worship false gods, they are people that practice magic or rituals or whatever, and more than anything those people need to be, when we take power, they need to be given the death penalty. Straight up. And, I’m far more concerned about that than I am about even non-white people or mass migration.”
“These people that are that are communing with demons and engaging in this sort of witchcraft and stuff, and these people that are suppressing the name Christ and suppressing Christianity, they must be absolutely annihilated when we take power, I’m not calling for political violence, but that cannot have any quarter in our society.”
While the start of the segment was about the occult, Fuentes quickly turned his remarks to promoting an oppressive, authoritarian version of what he calls Christianity.
“We need to put up we need to put up a crucifix in every home, in every room in every school and every government office to signal Christ’s reign over our country,” Fuentes declared. “Not that God needs it, but it must be outwardly expressed from the interior, that this is God’s country. This is Jesus’s country. This is not the domain of atheists or devil worshipers or perfidious Jews. This is Christ’s country,” he said, adding those who are “agnostic” cannot be part of his “America First” movement. “No, you must be a Christian. And you must submit to Christianity.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated Fuentes a white nationalist extremist “who advocates pulling the Republican Party further to the extreme far-right end of the political spectrum. An outspoken admirer of fascists such as Mussolini, Fuentes emerged as an influential figure on the national stage during the now-infamous ‘Stop the Steal’ movement, which relied on misinformation to falsely claim that Donald Trump had won the 2020 election and sought to overturn the results of it.”
In October, after Fuentes had reportedly visited a top Texas GOP donor for several hours, creating a massive firestorm, The Texas Tribune reported, “Fuentes, 25, often praises Adolf Hitler and questions whether the Holocaust happened. He has called for a ‘holy war’ against Jews and compared the 6 million killed by the Nazis to cookies being baked in an oven. He wants the U.S. government under authoritarian, ‘Catholic Taliban rule,’ and has been vocal about his disdain for women, Muslims, the LGBTQ+ community and others.”

The Intercept’s Prep Thakker responded to the video of Fuentes’ remarks, declaring it, “An unambiguous call for religious genocide, namely against Jewish people, by the dinner guest of the Republican front runner for President of the United States. Will there be congressional hearings? Breathless, wall to wall coverage in nearly every major U.S. news outlet?”
Writer and activist Elad Nehorai responded by blasting the House Republican Conference chair Elise Stefanik, saying she “wants you to vote for the presidential candidate who sat down with Fuentes for dinner.”
U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) wrote: “THIS scumbag is who Trump invited to his place at Mar-a-Lago for dinner. Trump is not fit to be President.”
Attorney and Adjunct Professor of Philosophy teaching Ethics, Richard Kalish, warned, “This is a clear, word for word echo of Nazi Germany.”

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick is expressing anger and outrage after his state’s Speaker of the House, a fellow Republican, issued a statement denouncing an influential far-right activist, donor, and Super PAC head, saying, “The Republican Party is no place for Hitler apologists.”
Speaker Dade Phelan on Monday demanded the Lt. Governor (photo) give away $3 million in donations he received from Defend Texas Liberty PAC, whose President, Jonathan Stickland, he says, “fraternized for six hours with a notorious, anti-Semitic, nazi sympathizer who denies the existence of the Holocaust.” Stickland is the Republican former Texas state representative who reportedly said in 2008, “Rape is non existent in marriage, take what you want my friend!” and has called vaccines “sorcery.”
Phelan was referring to “notorious white supremacist and antisemite Nick Fuentes,” writes Mark Pitcavage, a Senior Research Fellow at the ADL Center on Extremism.
“At a time when we are witnessing heinous attacks on our Israeli allies by Hamas terrorists – the most egregious assault on Jewish lives since the Holocaust – Jonathan Stickland, the President of Defend Texas Liberty PAC, fraternized for six hours with a notorious, anti-Semitic, nazi sympathizer who denies the existence of the Holocaust,” wrote Speaker Phelan, citing a Texas Tribune report from Sunday.
“This not just a casual misstep. It’s indicative of the moral, political rot that has been festering in a certain segment of our party for far too long. Anti-Semitism, bigotry and Hitler apologists should find no sanctuary in the Republican party. Period. We cannot – and must not – tolerate the tacit endorsement of such vile ideologies.”
Phelan continued, saying, “I call upon any elected official who has accepted political donations from Defend Texas Liberty PAC, or any of its affiliate organizations, to immediately redirect every single cent of those contributions to a charitable organization of his or her choice.”
“Furthermore, I call upon elected officials and candidates to state unequivocally that they will not accept further contributions, including in-kind contributions, from the Defend Texas Liberty PAC. Recently, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick took $3 million from this organization. I expect him to lead the way in redirecting these funds.”
“Additionally, the Republican Party of Texas has received $132,500 during this election cycle from the Defend Texas Liberty PAC. As of their last report, RPT had just under $50,000 on hand. I call upon Chairman Matt Rinaldi to direct the party to donate these Defend Texas Liberty funds to charity. And if doing so would take the party into the red, I would be happy to provide a short-term loan until Chairman Rinaldi can replace the money with other donations.”
“There is no excuse to keep tainted funds from an organization that provides a platform for hatemongers, sexual predators, racists and nazi sympathizers.”
The Texas Tribune report noted that it had “observed Texas GOP chair Matt Rinaldi outside the building, but he denied meeting Fuentes and denounced him.”
Just a few hours after Phelan’s statement, Lt. Gov. Patrick demanded the Speaker resign.
“I didn’t think even Dade Phelan would stoop this low,” Patrick in a statement, Austin, Texas’ KDFM reports. “He has now absolutely hit rock bottom. His latest political stunt is disgusting, despicable, and disingenuous. With nearly 1,000 dead and over a hundred kidnapped, anyone who would use the war in Israel for their own political purposes is revolting, repulsive, and repugnant. Nick Fuentes and his anti-Semitic rhetoric have no place in the United States. Those who spew such vile, loathsome, abominations will have to answer for it.”
“For anyone to try to use these invectives for their own political gain is below contempt,” Patrick aded. “I am calling on Dade Phelan to resign his position before the House gavels in this afternoon. There is no place in Texas political discourse for any elected official to use the atrocities in Israel for their own political gain. That’s what Dade Phelan is doing. At this point, he’s simply got to go.”
KDFM adds that “Patrick’s denunciation of Fuentes comes after Fuentes met with Defend Texas Liberty PAC leadership, from whom Patrick accepted $3 million.” tex trib

- Videos from channels that push rhetoric associated with the “manosphere” — a far-right community that recruits susceptible young men with toxic masculinity and misogyny, accounted for 3% of the videos we identified on the leaderboard between February 1 and July 31, earning over 46 million views and at least 1 million likes.
Notably, videos from these channels have appeared more frequently of late: They accounted for just 27 appearances on the leaderboard in February, but 94 appearances on the leaderboard in July.
- graph]
- The right-wing misogynistic channels that have appeared most frequently on the leaderboard include “SNEAKO,” “FreshandFit,” and “TateSpeech by Andrew Tate”:
- Videos from Sneako, who has repeatedly promoted white Christian nationalist Nick Fuentes on his channel, appeared on the leaderboard at least 84 times, earning over 8.5 million views and at least 161,000 likes. On May 30, Sneako held a harrowingly antisemitic and homophobic six-hour livestream with Fuentes that appeared on Rumble’s leaderboard as the fourth most-liked video on the platform from that day. In Sneako’s video, which Rumble removed but Fuentes then reposted to his own channel, Fuentes effectively denied that the Holocaust was genocide and parroted the antisemitic propaganda of blood libel from the Middle Ages, accusing Jews of “communing with demons” and of “using Christian blood in their rituals.”
- Videos from FreshandFit — which describes itself as the “the #1 men’s podcast in the world” covering “females, fitness, and finances” — appeared on the leaderboard at least 74 times, earning over 19.5 million views and at least 331,000 likes. Hosts of the Fresh & Fit podcast include Why Women Deserve Less author Myron Gaines and dating and lifestyle coach Walter Weekes, who both regularly spew misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and demean a panel of young women who appear on the show’s “After Hours” streams. The show has also embraced Holocaust denial and extreme antisemitism.
- Videos from misogynist Andrew Tate appeared on the leaderboard at least 43 times, earning more than 10 million views and at least 340,000 likes. Tate, who is banned from Meta, YouTube, and TikTok for his hateful and violent rhetoric, is known for serving as a misogynist guru for young boys and men. He has encouraged a “mass exodus” from other platforms to Rumble and repeatedly promoted the platform (which has repeatedly promoted him in turn, even reportedly paying him $9 million to make Rumble his streaming platform of choice, even though he is banned from most others). Several of Tate’s videos appeared on the leaderboard while he was imprisoned and later under house arrest in Romania, awaiting a trial for charges relating to an alleged sex trafficking operation he ran with his brother along with several charges of rape.

Misogynistic manosphere influencers dive headfirst into antisemitism
Antifeminist media figures are pushing neo-Nazi rhetoric and spreading conspiracy theories about Jewish people
WRITTEN BY JUSTIN HOROWITZ
PUBLISHED 08/08/23
Content warning: This article contains examples of extremely antisemitic and violent language.
Several misogynistic manosphere influencers are making antisemitic comments and pushing conspiracy theories about Jewish people on podcasts and online.
The manosphereis an online community of websites, bloggers, and influencers cultivating a worldview based on outdated, extremist gender politics repackaged for the internet age. The community valorizes pick-up artists, violent misogynists, incels, men’s rights activists, and conservative cultural critics.
While purporting to provide dating, financial, and lifestyle advice to men, some manosphere figures are aligning themselves with far-right personalities. Their programs serve as gateways to push audiences further to the right toward more dangerous ideologies.
Fresh & Fit podcast
The misogynistic Fresh & Fit podcast, hosted by Why Women Deserve Less author Myron Gaines (real name Amrou Fudl) and dating and lifestyle coach Walter Weekes, describes itself as “the #1 men’s podcast in the world.” The podcast recently hosted Holocaust-denying white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who appeared multiple times and made numerous antisemitic comments. During livestreams, he and white nationalist ally Sneako — another guest — denied the Holocaust, justified Nazi book-burnings, and claimed that transgender identities are the result of Jewish conspiracies.
Two Fresh & Fit videos featuring Fuentes have over 1 million views on Rumble, and Fuentes has gloated about his impact on the show’s viewership.

Antifeminist influencer and podcaster Hannah Pearl Davis has also recently pushed antisemitism online in a since-deleted song titled “Why can’t we talk about the Jews?”
“Why can’t we talk about the — without being kicked off of YouTube,” Davis sang. “Now, I’m not saying Hitler was a good guy, but I kind of want to know why.”

“Now, there’s all these conspiracy theories, and the more they talk I think maybe they’re right,” Davis continued. “But I can’t even listen to the convo, I can’t even have the conversation, without being canceled by the left and the right.”
Fuentes celebrated Davis’ song, saying, “We love you, Pearl.” He has previously appeared on Davis’ dating talk and debate show.
Davis attempted to walk back her comments during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, saying the song “was more about cancel culture.” She later added, “I’m a fan of conspiracy theories.”
Sneako
White nationalist ally, manosphere influencer, and former associate of the rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West) Sneako (real name Nico Kenn De Balinthazy) has made several antisemitic comments online and in interviews.
Sneako has been described as “a cheap imitation of [Andrew] Tate” and rose to prominence on YouTube for his gaming, motivational, and man-on-the-street interview videos. He later shifted toward making misogynistic and hateful content.
Sneako has defended Hitler in the past and attacked Jewish people online.
“Jews have the ultimate power,” Sneako said during an interview with No Jumper’s Adam Grandmaison. “That’s just true, they have ultimate control and power and they will abuse it if they need to protect their agenda.”
“In every single industry, if you look at the end of the rabbit hole, it’s always a Jew who controls it,” Sneako said.
“The label owners, the real estate owners, like, all the people with the most amount of money behind the scene is a Jewish guy,” he continued. “Why are we out here slaving away for Jews who are profiting off of us killing each other?”

Self-proclaimed woman-hater and manosphere influencer Jon Zherka has made several antisemitic comments.
In podcasts and on Twitter, Zherka has frequently mocked and attacked Jewish people.

After the woman said “I don’t like Hitler,” Zherka asked, “The fuck is wrong with you?” He later added, “I’ll regret this, dude.”
Zherka ended the livestream saying, “Hitler was a good guy.”

Reporting shows how easily toxic rhetoric can infiltrate the minds of young audiences, even among users as young as 11 years old. Parents in particular should be aware of the dangers these figures pose. Additionally, this misogynistic and antisemitic rhetoric does not live in a vacuum online; it can lead to real-world violence, threats, and harassment.

- Christian nationalist worship leader Sean Feucht held a service outside the Idaho state capitol Sunday where he bragged about gathering with elected officials beforehand to declare that “this state belongs to Jesus.”
- America First activist Dalton Clodfelter insists that the Holocaust never happened.
- America First activist Jon Miller helpfully admits what has long been known: “I’m an anti-semite.”
- America First activist Matt Evans (aka Beardson Beardly) doesn’tcare “what they call Twitter, just let me say the n-word.”
- America First activist Steven Franssen would like “one of these Indians that want to be President [to] instead just lead all of their people back home.”
- Finally, America First leader Nick Fuentes insists that “sex is a gay act” and therefore “if you seek sex, you will become gay.” That is why the straightest people are those who remain celibate, like priests.

when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke at the America First Political Action Conference in 2022, she justified her decision to address the gathering of white nationalists by insisting that her mission was to give guidance to a group of “young conservatives who feel cast aside and marginalized by society.”
If AFPAC attendees “feel cast aside and marginalized by society,” that is likely because they are largely unquestioning followers of AFPAC organizer Nick Fuentes, the cult leader who heads up the America First movement and who is infamous for the torrents of antisemitism, racism, misogyny, and endless admiration for Adolf Hitler that he espouses nightly during his livestream broadcasts.
Right Wing Watch has for years documented the fact that Fuentes and many of his followers are no mere “young conservatives” but rather are full-blown fascists who—in spite of their “America First” moniker—hate this nation, the Constitution, and our form of government and want to see it overthrown and replaced by a literal dictatorship.
While Fuentes’ history of bigotry and open advocacy of fascism have gotten him banned from nearly every major social media platform and banned from various banks and businesses, he still managed to have dinner at Mar-a-Lago with former President Donald Trump in November of 2022 and has secured the support of elected leaders like Taylor Greene, Rep. Paul Gosar, and Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers.
Fuentes has been very open about his agenda. He wants to see a “supreme leader totalitarian Christian dictator” who jails his opponents, takes a child bride, imposes Christian law on the nation, bans non-Christians from holding office, creates a “Catholic Taliban” that forces everyone to convert to Catholicism through Inquisitions, sends the military into Black neighborhoods, orders security force to gun down citizens in the streets, and requires women to wear burkas.
Contraception, fornication, homosexuality, and pornography would all be outlawed in Fuentes’ ideal world, he says, and women would be banned from going to school or voting, and could be burned alive at the stake for being witches. [twt]
fuentes knows that this sort of agenda is never going to win elections and that even receiving support from a handful of elected leaders is not going to bring about the fascist revolution he believes this country needs. Thus, he has settled into a long-term strategythat he believes will have him controlling the reins of power in this nation decades from now.
During a livestream in late May, Fuentes stated that his plan is to use his nightly program and appearances on other programs to spread his ideas to as many young people as possible on the assumption that a certain percentage of them will then go on to become highly successful in business and politics. If these activists are properly indoctrinated, Fuentes believes they will then use their money, power, and influence to bring about the far-right authoritarian dictatorship for which he has been advocating.
[vid]
"I don’t want to tell you our full game plan, but I’ve been pretty transparent about it from the beginning,” Fuentes said. “My goal is to redpill as many teenagers and 20-somethings as possible, and then a fraction of them are going to become millionaires or professionals or get into politics. And then in 10 years, there’s gonna be 1,000 or 2,000 people or 10,000 people in American politics at a high level with influence and money and power and they’re gonna believe the things I say on the show.”
“And so one becomes many,” Fuentes said. “And a guy who is outside of the system for saying these things is now, by proxy, inside the system everywhere.”
Fuentes claimed that he has already “achieved that in a significant way,” asserting that every day he finds out that his supporters are working “in different positions” all over the place.
“If I could tell you, you would go crazy,” Fuentes bragged.
It is impossible to know if Fuentes’ claim is simply bluster, but it is known that Rep. Gosar has a Fuentes supporter working in his congressional office and that another claimed to have been elected a local GOP chair in Michigan. Presumably, there are more Fuentes’ supporters working in politics at various levels throughout the nation.
Meanwhile, Fuentes is taking every opportunity to fill his own streaming platform with those who will help to spread his message as he seeks to reach receptive audiences on other platforms. At the same time, those in his orbit are working to infiltrate conservative organizations, all in an effort to shift the Overton Window and make their extreme agenda more acceptable to mainstream audiences.
And that is why it is important to expose the authoritarian ideology that Fuentes promotes. And that is why, when Fuentes broke into broader public view late last year as part of Kanye West’s entourage at Trump’s dinner table, national media turned to Right Wing Watch to get the facts on Fuentes, with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow calling Right Wing Watch “a fire alarm system for the whole country.”
Fuentes and his ilk know that they have little chance of winning converts or elections with the stream of bigotry, intolerance, and hatred that the movement promotes. As such, Fuentes has realized that he must focus on gaining power from the inside via surrogates if he is to ever have any hope of seeing the fascist dictatorship he longs for imposed on this nation. Meanwhile, Fuentes is more readily able to indoctrinate young men into his anti-democratic ideology, and move closer to the achievement of his long-term goals, every time a politician like Donald Trump or Paul Gosar gives him and his movement credibility, and every time a right-wing political or media figure encourages his followers by adopting their rhetoric or policy agenda as their own.

earlier this month, Talking Points Memo identified a chain of evidence that strongly suggested Rep. Paul Gosar’s (R-AZ) digital director, Wade Searle, was involved with an interlinked group of social media profiles that were deeply enmeshed with white nationalist Nicholas Fuentes’ viciously antisemitic “Groyper” movement. Details highlighted the accounts’ professed loyalty to the hierarchical hate group and their dedication to Fuentes, who referred to the accounts’ administrator as one of the “strongest soldiers” in his “movement.” The news had some impact: Gosar faced condemnation from President Joe Biden, Congressional Black Caucus chairman Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV), and multiple Jewish advocacy groups, including the Republican Jewish Coalition. Some have called for an investigation into the report, though Gosar remains, perhaps predictably, silent.
I was a source for TPM on the story, contributing research that I’ve independently collected over years of tracking the far-right in Arizona. And while the revelations in the story were significant, they weren’t necessarily surprising. The Groypers are deeply hateful and grotesque, but Gosar has never been shy in his flirtation with various factions of the fascist far-right, including the Groypers’ leader, Fuentes.
Or, as Gosar himself has bragged in the past: “I’m considered the most dangerous man in Congress.”
A large swath of the far-right has, in turn, taken notice, with Gosar becoming a sort of hero in some corners.
In 2011, the dentist-turned-legislator arrived in the House after a relatively narrow victory in his election amid the Tea Party wave. His win was partially thanks to a Sarah Palinendorsement— he was the only candidate she campaigned for — and the support of the American Dental Association (ADA), where he once served as the chairman of the Council on Government Affairs. Now, Gosar runs in a safe, very red district; his hateful antics over the years have left himwithout the support of the ADA, which in 2001 had dubbed him “dentist of the year.”
Over the last decade, Gosar has curated a national and international constituency that goes beyond the residents of his western Arizona district: the vanguard of the national and international far right. He has spent his time in office traversing the country and the globe, offering his support to fringe movements. In 2014, he caravaned down to Bunkerville, Nevada in support of Cliven Bundy and his armed militia wannabes as they took on the federal government for their “right” to illegally graze where they chose in a modern “war for the West.” In 2018, he flew out to London tostand in solidaritywith Islamophobic bigot and English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon). In his speech, which was condemned by the Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Gosar vilified Muslim immigrants as rapists and “disgusting and depraved individuals.”
Gosar speaks at Bunkerville (Dr. Kelli Ward’s Facebook)
Earlier this month, Gosar was a speaker at a CPAC Hungary event titled “Nations First,” appearing alongside the chairman of the **Freedom Party of Austria:{, a party founded by Nazi SS officers. In his }
:{, Gosar praised authoritarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Hungary as a “beacon in the West”for its strict anti-immigration and anti-LGBTQ laws. The nationalist rhetoric continues in Gosar’s own office as he calls for a }:total ban:{ on all immigration to the United States and }:demands:{ widespread militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border.}:
Gosar has lent his support to a broad coalition of far-right bigots and Christian supremacists: from the shitposting Groyper neo-Nazis to the camo-clad LARPers and hate groups:{ to the suit-wearing, ultranationalist political elites at home and }
:{. He’ll rile up the Arizona chapter of the Oath Keepers, }:telling them:{ that the United States is already in a Civil War, “we just haven’t started shooting yet,” then repeat the }:same line:{ in an interview with }:a well-documented neo-Nazi:{. He’ll even associate with the conspiratorial (and often ridiculous) QAnon movement, }::{tweeting out references to Q-drops (Gosar later said the tweet was sarcastic, though the tweet remains up to this day) and appearing at Q-friendly rallies.}:

This all reached a boiling point during the “Stop the Steal” era and leading up to the January 6 insurrection when the many factions of the paranoid, conspiratorial and violent far-right came together to rally around Donald Trump and against American democracy. Gosar was, of course, in the center of it all.
By the night after the 2020 election, Gosar was already rallying alongside armed Trump voters and Mike “Pizzagate” Cernovichto question the legitimacy of the votes. He’d continue to appear at Stop the Steal rallies throughout Arizona to prepare the angry base for what was coming. After the insurrection, he was among the very first elected officials to lie about “Antifa” causing the chaos of January 6, and soon joined insurrection apologists in lionizing Ashli Babbitt and J6 arrestees as martyrs.
It was not long after the insurrection that Gosar also began courting Nick Fuentes and the Groypers.
Fuentes and his following are particularly repulsive. He regularly streams his misogynistic, racist and antisemitic rants on his network, where parasocial Groypers toss out slurs in his live chat and donate to their dear leader. On occasion, Fuentes asks his followers to pledge their loyalty to the himself, “the white race,” and Jesus Christ while also asking them to “rape, kill, and die for Nick Fuentes.” He has denied the Holocaust while simultaneously calling Adolf Hitler “really fucking cool.” Only days after TPM’s report, in which Gosar’s digital director Searle was linked to the influential Groyper accounts, Fuentes made news again after openly fantasizing about marrying an underage bride.
In one recent, representative rant complaining about abortion, homosexuality, feminism, contraceptives, and sex, Fuentes explained that a lot of things he hates are “popular” and placed the blame (as usual) on “the Jewish media.”
“‘Popular’ means that people support it, which they do,” Fuentes said. “And it sucks, and it is what it is, but that’s why we need a dictatorship. That’s unironically why we need to get rid of all that. We need to take control of the media, take control of the government, and force the people to believe what we believe, or force them to play by our rules.”
There may have been a time when it would have been obscene for a politician to affiliate so openly with a predatory neo-Nazi like Fuentes, but Gosar has provided Fuentes’ Christofascist youth movement with more political credibility than any other elected official.
“As the Right continues to radicalize, figures like Gosar may calculate they have more to gain from keeping these movements like the Groypers at hand rather than pushing them aside,” explained Ben Lorber, a senior research analyst for Political Research Associates with a focus on Fuentes and the Groypers. “Doing so would alienate the Gen-Z white nationalist base that provides him ground support in Arizona, and loyal praise online.”
In February 2021, Gosar surprised Fuentes’ mostly young, mostly male audience as the keynote speaker at the second America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC). The next year, Gosar would appear by video at the third AFPAC alongside his fellow far-right Arizonans, including former Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio and state senator Wendy Rogers. Gosar’s Freedom Caucus colleague, Marjorie Taylor Greene, also made a surprise in-person appearance at the same white supremacist rally, where Fuentes praised the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the January 6 insurrection, and Adolf Hilter.

Gosar’s willingness to appear at AFPAC highlights his comfort with some of the most extreme bigots in the American political scene. At AFPAC, Fuentes fanboys pack the crowd alongside other Groyper influencers and old-school white nationalist propagandists. Featured guests at AFPAC III included fellow streamers on Fuentes’ platform like Vincent James Foxx, who has expressed his desire for a Christian theocracy where gay people are criminalized via execution, and Anthime “Baked Alaska” Gionet, who has faced criminal charges for storming the Capitol on January 6 and his defacement of a Hanukkah display in Phoenix, AZ (all of which he live streamed, of course). Elder white nationalists in attendance included disgraced former congressman Steve King and Jared Taylor, who has long organized Klansmen, alt-right figures, and other white supremacists at his own biannual event.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy tepidly condemned Greene and Gosar following their AFPAC appearance, and Sen. Wendy Rogers was censured back in Arizona for the violent calls made in her speech.Gosar blamed his second appearance on amiscommunicationwith a staffer (wonder which one), but the slap on the wrist failed to stop Gosar’s pandering. Only months after being lectured by McCarthy, Gosar was back to making headlines for being listed as a guest with another Groyperesque organization, American Populist Union, holding an event on Hitler’s birthday. Gosar denied his involvement, saying he was booked that day, though he had promoted the gathering on social media.
To further highlight Gosar’s comfort in these circles, Gosar has promoted Foxx’s social media and his fringe white nationalist blog over a dozen times. In “The Breach: The Untold Story of the Investigation into January 6th” — written by former U.S. Representative Denver Riggleman and TPM reporter Hunter Walker —Riggleman recalled a 2019 Freedom Caucus trip to the southern border during which Gosar and then-Representative King “dove into a conversation about how they felt white people had really created superior civilizations.”
These ongoing flirtations with the far-right are not uncommon in today’s Republican Party, but there’s something noteworthy about Gosar. Jerod MacDonald-Evoy, an Arizona journalist with a focus on far-right extremism, considers Gosar to be “unique among his caucus.” Unlike Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz, who often generate controversy due to their loud and overly abhorrent comments and behavior, Gosar carefully “signals to those in the extreme,” MacDonald-Evoy explained.
Gosar’s social media output also continues to be littered with “America First” nods and propaganda. (As of right now, his Twitter bio’s location is set to “America First.”) These dog whistles may be innocuous or incoherent to some, but are clear nods to Fuentes fanboys and Groyper shitposters. Gosar’s minor criticism of Fuentes for “having a problem with his mouth,” made headlines, and he seems to have realized the optics of appearing directly alongside Fuentes, but he’s continued to show the movement that he’s engaged.
“His use of internet culture has given him a boost among groups like the Groypers and Patriot Front, which are made up largely of young men who are constantly online,” said MacDonald-Evoy. “Speaking in the right language shows an ‘in-the-know’ and not ‘co-opting’ of the language that I think the extreme parts of the right appreciate and some might not notice.”
These dog whistles are heard loud and clear among members of the far-right. Those activists, including the Groypers, have come to see Gosar as one of their own. After all, the congressman has no reason, besides an ideological one, to continue rubbing shoulders with, giving speeches to, and emboldening such a hateful faction of the right. Gosar repeatedly brushes off these controversies because, they reason, this must be who he is and what he believes. His apparent refusal to distance himself from Searle, or even acknowledge the report about his staffer, can be understood as another of these dog whistles. He sticks by Fuentes to further mainstream his movement’s vile politics within the already vile Republican Party — which is, at best, indifferent to Gosar’s white nationalist friends.

?national Harbor, Maryland — White nationalist Nick Fuentes may have been kicked out of the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, but other white nationalists and their sympathizers found their way in.
Fuentes, the leader of the America First white nationalist youth movement, briefly made it into CPAC at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center Thursday, even snagging a photo with Mike Lindell, the election conspiracy theorist and sugar daddy to right-wing causes. But, as in previous years, Fuentes, who was granted his first ban from CPAC in 2019, was removed from the premises and his rally permit was revoked.
Matt Schlapp, the president of the American Conservative Union, which hosts CPAC, confirmed Fuentes’ removal Friday. In a statement on Instagram, Schlapp claimed that Fuentes’ “hateful racist rhetoric and actions are not consistent with the mission of CPAC” and claimed to be concerned about antisemitism.
We removed Nick Fuentes from his attempt to attend our conference. His hateful racist rhetoric and actions are not consistent with the mission of CPAC. We are pleased that our conference welcomes a wide array of conservative perspectives from people of different backgrounds, but we are concerned about the rise in antisemitic rhetoric (or Jew hatred) in our country and around the globe, whether it be in the corridors of power and academia or through the online rantings of bigots like Fuentes.
But despite banning Fuentes, CPAC gladly welcomed politicians who cozied up to him or spread hate themselves. The main event of the MAGA carnival was, of course, President Donald Trump, who had dined with Fuentes and Kanye West this fall and failed to denounce the white nationalist after news broke of their dinner. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has a long history of antisemitic conspiracy theories and racist comments, took the stage Saturday to bash trans people; last year, she had spoken at Fuentes’ white nationalist AFPAC conference and failed to denounce Fuentes until it became politically expedient to do so. Sebastian Gorka, a former Trump adviser and alleged member of a Nazi-allied political group in Hungary, provided CPAC with a hateful transphobic tirade Saturday morning. And Stephen Miller, a former Trump adviser known for his affinity for white nationalism, called on House Republicans to defund the Department of Homeland Security unless every undocumented immigrant that crosses the border gets “shipped back to where they came from.” So much for standing against hateful or racist rhetoric.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks at CPAC on March 3, 2023.
Meanwhile, followers of Fuentes’ white nationalist movement, who refer to themselves as groypers, milled about in the conference entrance Saturday wearing their blue America First hats before security asked them to leave. As they exited the building, they began chanting “We want Nick!” and briefly set up their America First flags in front of the hotel. They were shooed off the premises.
But some groypers found their way back into the conference and past the Secret Service checkpoint, leaving their blue America First hats at home in favor of small AF pins, a Pepe the Frog sticker, and a “Ye is Right” hat. They chatted with Ryan Sanchez, a former member of the Rise Above Movement, a white nationalist street gang, and Greyson Arnold, a pro-Nazi blogger whose services were once employed by the Washington state GOP.
One groyper wearing an AF pin calmly explained to this reporter why he did not believe women should have the right to vote or hold elected office. “I don’t think a lot of people shouldn’t have the right to vote. I shouldn’t have the right to vote,” he added, explaining that he’s 21, doesn’t own property or have children and thus, in his opinion, shouldn’t have a say in the direction of this country.
He and another groyper identified themselves as “incels,” comparing their involuntary celibacy to a disability. They insisted that they do not hate women despite believing that women should not vote or hold political office. Of course, just minutes earlier, Sanchez, Arnold, and other groypers in their group had harassed Amanda Moore, an independent writer who had gone undercover in MAGA world in 2020 and 2021, gleefully calling her “a slut.”[
[Nick Fuentes (left) and Ryan Sanchez (right) pose for a photo. Sanchez posted this photo on his Telegram March, 5, 2023, with the caption, “Nick Fuentes’ rally last night was by far the most exciting event at CPAC. I am so glad to see so many factions of the Right put aside our differences and stand together.”
Undeterred by his banishment from CPAC, Fuentes vowed to hold an event nearby following Trump’s speech Saturday at an undisclosed location—revealed first by the Southern Poverty Law Center to Fuentes’ disappointment. As a line of mostly young men waited to enter the conference room at The Residence Inn by Marriott across the street from CPAC, a CPAC Shabbat event came to a close down the hall, with Jewish CPAC attendees milling about the same entrance from which groypers were entering. While the America First event was free, it was not open to the press, and this reporter was turned away.
In a livestream of the event, Fuentes is seen addressing attendees wearing a large black puffer jacket and sunglasses despite the dark room while Christian, dystopian, and abstract images flickered on the screen behind him.
“Transgenderism has got to go because it’s not true,” Fuentes says, agreeing with The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles, who earlier that day had called for the eradication of “transgenderism.” “Well, in that case, feminism has got to go, too. Liberalism has got to be eradicated.”
“At the end of the day you know what else has got to go in a Christian society?” Fuentes asks the crowd.
“Democracy?” a woman yells out from the audience.
“Well that,” Fuentes says. “The other thing that has got to go from the public life at the highest levels is this Talmudic Judaism.”
His followers hollered their approval, erupting into chants of “Christ is King!”

- Jack Jenkins @ Religion News Service: How big Christian nationalism has come courting in North Idaho.
- Chuck Tanner @ IREHR: Far-right “Constitutional Sheriffs” Group Launches Effort to Infiltrate Illinois Law Enforcement.
- Jake Lahut @ The**Daily Beast: The Real Reason Nick Fuentes Was Put on the No Fly List.
white nationalist Nick Fuentes claimed in 2021 that he was put on the TSA’s No Fly List as a victim of “overt political persecution.” Around the same time, he bragged that the federal government froze one of his bank accounts containing a sum in the “six figures” range.
But the 24-year-old Holocaust denier’s version of events doesn’t hold up to much scrutiny.
Documents obtained by The Daily Beast show Fuentes—one of the key figures in the buildup to the Capitol riot—misled his supporters over why he was banned from flying on commercial airlines, as well as why he received a letter from the Department of Justice notifying him that his assets were seized, and subsequently unfrozen, “on the ground that they contained proceeds of money laundering, wire fraud, and threat violations.”
The real story of how Fuentes ended up on the No Fly List wasn’t because of his far-right and antisemitic beliefs, nor his refusal to comply with any masking rules at the time. Instead, the podcaster who dined with Donald Trump and Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago just before Thanksgiving last year stepped on a rake when he sued the TSA; America’s most loathed security agency had the receipts.
In court documents, first mentioned by the left-wing news site The Grayzone, the TSA reported they banned Fuentes from flying because he posed a safety risk to crew members and threatened to strangle flight attendants.
Among the evidence submitted to the court was a clip from Fuentes’ own podcast where he laid out a very specific scenario involving a flight attendant who asked him to put his mask on. The incident went far beyond any normal venting about the modern American commercial flight experience.
“Let me tell you: I’m gonna land, and then I’m gonna get in the airport parking lot, and I’m gonna wait for you, and then I’m gonna put a mask over your face, your mouth and nose,” Fuentes recounted on his show two days before the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“You still need to be wearing the mask even if you can’t breathe,” Fuentes continued, making a strangling gesture on-camera before adding a quick “kidding!”
Threatening a flight attendant is a felony and can carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, part of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Nov. 2021 “zero tolerance” order for prosecutors to shift from seeking fines to charging unruly passengers under federal law, though each offense still carries a $37,000 civil fine. Under FAA regulations, “no person may assault, threaten, intimidate, or interfere with a crewmember in the performance of the crewmember's duties aboard an aircraft being operated.”
Before his Twitter account was shut down, Fuentes tweeted about a December 2020 incident in which he refused to pull his mask up to cover his nose and then got into a verbal altercation with a flight attendant.
Fuentes tweeted that the flight attendant had the plane return to the gate because of Fuentes’ “attitude.”
“I got up and looked him the eyes and said “hey— fuck you,” he tweeted.
According to Fuentes, the flight attendant told Fuentes to “enjoy his time in Chicago,” the city they were supposed to be departing from.
“Yea[h], eat shit,” Fuentes said he responded.
Born in 1998, Fuentes has made a name for himself in GOP politics by trying to mainstream antisemitic and white nationalist views within the party, with one of his initial claims to fame dating back to 2019 when he managed to shut down a book tour event for Donald Trump Jr. by mobilizing his supporters to heckle the former president’s son.
His supporters, who call themselves “Groypers”—named after a more portly, Jabba the Hutt-esque version of Pepe the Frog, a galvanizing meme on the extreme right in the late 2010s—were among those arrested at the Capitol riot with known affiliations to hate groups.
While the real reason Fuentes found his way onto the No Fly List was a lot less political than he initially presented to his fans, Fuentes has appealed the decision. Unfortunately for him, he missed the deadline to appeal the initial decision by three days, according to the TSA’s motion to dismiss, noting he had 60 days to appeal the No Fly List order that was issued on March 11, 2022.
A letter obtained by The Daily Beast from the Department of Justice in July 2021 informed Fuentes that a Bank of America account would be unfrozen after the DOJ looked at the funds “on the ground that they contained proceeds of money laundering, wire fraud, and threat violations.”
The House Jan. 6 Committee subpoenaed Fuente’s white nationalist colleague Patrick Casey over more than $500,000 in Bitcoin payments from a French programmer shortly before his death ahead of the Capitol riot.Following the insurrection, Fuentes told his fans to “probably destroy your phone, your SIM card, all that information” if they were at the Capitol that day before later saying “don’t do that, for my legal sake.”
Fuentes did not return a request for comment on the TSA lawsuit or whether the Bank of America account included any donations from supporters or Bitcoin transfers.

on a livestream one night in early November, a man donated $10 to Nick Fuentes, the white nationalist who would in a few short weeks dine with Donald Trump.
This particular $10 donation entitled the donor, who identified himself as Alex Roncelli, to post a message in the superchat so that his message would play during Fuentes’ show. “nick i wanted to say thanks… i ran for GOP chair and won. in the reddest of red counties in michigan i won. i promise progress. thanks for your inspiration, thanks for everything.”
Fuentes was utterly dumbfounded. “Dude!” Fuentes said after the message played. He looked up at the ceiling and paused. “I’m just not going to make a big deal of that.”
Why a local GOP official would publicly out himself as a follower of Fuentes was apparently beyond Fuentes’ grasp. Fuentes leads the America First youth movement, a white nationalist, Christian nationalist movement of mostly young white men who refer to themselves as “groypers.” Fuentes has promised to build an army of groypers to infiltrate Capitol Hill and the Trump administration and encouraged his followers to embed themselves within their local GOP infrastructure. Fuentes’ promotion of this strategy, like choosing a rhetorical theme from Trump’s campaign for his movement’s name, reflects his stated goal of infiltrating the broader conservative movement and dragging it further to the far right.
Right Wing Watch was able to identify a 28-year-old Alex Roncelli living in deep red St. Clair County, Michigan, and active in local GOP politics.
In 2018, Roncelli won an election to represent Bruce Township’s 4th precinct as a delegate for the GOP county convention. In 2020, he ran to become Macomb County clerk and lost. According to the Macomb Daily, he also aided the Macomb County Republican youth outreach program in the 2016 and 2018 elections. And just last year, he ran to represent Kimball Township in St. Clair County as a delegate to the county convention and won; it is scheduled to meet in Kimball, Michigan, today, Jan. 26.
Right Wing Watch reached out to Roncelli by email and phone. He did not respond to questions about this donation to Fuentes, the jurisdiction of the GOP chair position he claimed to have won, or allegations that he had stalked and harassed a woman.
Right Wing Watch also reached out to the local St. Clair County Republican Party and county clerk’s office. Both the former county chair and clerk’s office clarified that Roncelli was just a precinct delegate and not the county chair. A message to the current St. Clair County GOP chair went unanswered.
A follower of white nationalist Nick Fuentes named Alex Roncelli sent Fuentes a superchat last night so that he could brag about becoming a GOP chairman in Michigan and Fuentes was utterly dumbfounded that Roncelli would be foolish enough to publicly out himself as a groyper. pic.twitter.com/IhaMf8fneh
— Right Wing Watch (@RightWingWatch) November 4, 2022
Online, Roncelli appears to flaunt his America First connection. A Twitter user claiming to be Alex Roncelli features a photo of Roncelli, a bio that reads, “America First,” and locates himself in Michigan. The account, which was created in 2015, has tweeted about Nick Fuentes multiple times in the past year, including this past November with an image of Trump, Ye, and Fuentes dining together shortly after news broke of their dinner. After Right Wing Watch tweeted a clip of Fuentes receiving the $10 donation in November and Twitter users began tagging Roncelli’s account in the replies, the account handle appears to have been changed from @asroncelli to @JebrahBush. The account follows a number of accounts of figures in the America First movement; his own followers include self-proclaimed groypers. Meanwhile, a Facebook page belonging to Alex Roncelli states that he’s a precinct delegate and features an image of Pepe the Frog—the unofficial mascot of the America First groypers.
Precinct delegates, who are elected in the August primary election and serve two-year terms, act as the worker bees of the party infrastructure. In 2021, Donald Trump’s former White House adviser Steve Bannon popularized the “precinct strategy,” explaining on his “War Room” podcast, “We’re going to take this back village by village … precinct by precinct.” Today, a site called Michigan Precinct First launched by Arizona Tea Party activist Daniel Schultz—whom Bannon has given an audience—urges “America First” Republicans to become precinct delegates. Precinct delegates, like Roncelli, the site says, “have the power to elect party leadership, nominate major state office candidates, and increase voter turnout.”
“It is ultra-important that America First Precinct Delegates attend, participate in and vote at conventions…this is our opportunity to replace ‘do-nothing’ incumbents with America First patriots!” the site states.

It appears this plan is also being utilized by those in Nick Fuentes’ America First movement. Roncelli was busy at the latest St. Clair County Convention held last month—and it appears there’s at least a few other groypers who have found their way into the St. Clair County Republican Party. The county GOP Facebook page includes photos of two other attendees wearing Fuentes’ America First gear.
Fuentes’ America First movement stepped into the limelight with its participation in the so-called “Stop the Steal” campaign—which spread disinformation about the 2020 election in an effort to keep former President Donald Trump in the White House—and at least five men associated with America First stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. At “Stop the Steal” rallies, Fuentes called “for Groypers to embed themselves in local GOP infrastructure and run candidates in state and federal primary elections in 2022,” according to Ben Lorber at Political Research Associates. It was time to “destroy the GOP” and “replace it from the inside with people who are America First,” Fuentes said.
Roncelli also participated in the so-called “Stop the Steal” campaign. Ahead of Jan. 6, Roncelli traveled to Washington, D.C., and provided a video to Detroit Free Press of him and his companions on the bus ride chanting “Stop the steal!” On Jan. 6, Roncelli and his friends were among the Trump fanatics breaching the U.S. Capitol grounds, though he has said he did not go inside the Capitol. In an interview with the Detroit Free Press, he described the day as a “Revolution” and claimed that the violence was a set-up—a claim many on the far-right have made to try to shift blame toward “antifa,” the FBI, or anyone other than Trump supporters.

In trying to track down Roncelli, Right Wing Watch discovered a stalking allegation and other misogynist and racist behavior.
During his campaign for county clerk, a woman claimed that Roncelli had stalked her. Right Wing Watch spoke to the woman, 24-year-old Sarah Menig, who said Roncelli had also threatened to send revenge porn to her family members and boyfriend and called her racist names. She provided screenshots, with Roncelli’s phone number visible, to Right Wing Watch. Read Sarah’s story [here.]
This type of behavior is a regular feature of the America First movement, whose followers are known for their racism and frequently use the N-word in online chats, just as Roncelli did in his texts to Menig. And while Nick Fuentes might be best known for his racist and antisemitic white nationalism, he has also made misogyny a cornerstone of the America First movement, welcoming to the movement incels, men accused of sexual assault, and men who have promoted rape.
The election of a groyper to become a local GOP official reveals the larger goal of the far-right: to infiltrate the Republican Party at the local level—even in worker-bee positions—to ultimately put themselves in positions of power and move the party further to the extreme right.

Though racism may serve as the calling card for the white nationalist America First movement led by Nick Fuentes, you might say misogyny is its cornerstone.
During his campaign for county clerk in Macomb County, Michigan, a woman claimed that Alex Roncelli—a “groyper” in the white nationalist America First movement and current St. Clair County precinct delegate—had stalked her. Right Wing Watch spoke to the woman, 24-year-old Sarah Menig, who said Roncelli had also threatened to send revenge porn to her family members and boyfriend and called her racist names. She provided screenshots, with Roncelli’s phone number visible, to Right Wing Watch. That phone number corresponds with the official 2022 candidate list provided by the St. Clair County Clerk’s office.
Right Wing Watch reached out to Roncelli by email and phone. He did not respond to questions about allegations that he had stalked and harassed a woman.
Menig says she had an on-and-off friends-with-benefits relationship with Roncelli after they met on Tinder in 2018, and that she briefly helped out with his county clerk campaign in 2020. She claims that, in May 2020, when she told Roncelli that she no longer wanted to have a physical relationship with him, Roncelli harassed her via Facebook Messenger, text, and Snapchat, and showed up at her mother’s and aunt’s homes.
One of the reasons she ended their arrangement, Menig said, was because of his attitude towards Black women. “He only dates mixed girls,” says Menig. “He doesn’t think that Black girls are good enough for him. He told me multiple times that he was glad that I wasn’t fully Black because otherwise he wouldn’t be able to date me.” In texts, he called her a “bitch n*gga.”
In text messages shown to Right Wing Watch by Menig, Roncelli threatened to send an intimate video of the two of them to her boyfriend. Menig says she eventually called the Davison, Michigan, police and state police; only after the state police told Roncelli to leave her alone or he would be charged with harassment did he finally stop, she says.

When Menig took her accusations public on social media in 2020, Roncelli, according to the screenshots provided to Right Wing Watch, texted Menig and asked if he could pay her to make a statement that “puts this to bed.” Publicly, he calledher his “anti trump democratic ex girlfriend”—Menig describes herself as “hardcore libertarian” and says she was never his girlfriend. Roncelli did not however dispute the text messages’ veracity but claimed in a Facebook post that she was posting screenshots of their conversations out of context.
“He even said, ‘If I wasn’t running, I would sit here and stalk you,’” Menig said.
Roncelli then seemed to have second thoughts about the digital record he had left. In a text to Menig dated Aug. 5, 2020, Roncelli wrote, “I never meant to stalk u so.” He quickly followed it up with a text that read, “I don’t stalk people.”
Although Roncelli ultimately lost his race for county clerk, he recently became a St. Clair County GOP precinct delegate—a low-level position that is not without some power. According to the website of the Muskegon County, Michigan, Republican Party, “The office of Precinct Delegate is a partisan position that helps to elect local party chairs and officers as well as delegates to the state and national party conventions. The precinct delegate is the backbone of the partisan political parties.”
Fuentes—the white nationalist, misogynist leader of the America First movement—has urged his followers to infiltrate the GOP and run in state and national elections. The election of a groyper to become a local GOP official reveals that this strategy applies to the local level, too—even in worker-bee positions.

after being banned for almost two years, Twitter has officially reinstated the account of white nationalist leader Nick Fuentes, Rolling Stone reports.
Twitter banned Fuentes for "repeated violations" of the platform's rules in July 2021, and when he attempted to create another account in October after Musk took over, the platform banned him again.
\u201chttps://t.co/QfH909oAFo\u201d
— Nicholas J. Fuentes (@Nicholas J. Fuentes) 1674563407
The reinstatement of his account comes two months after Twitter CEO Elon Musk posted a poll to Twitter, asking users whether the accounts — he, himself, suspended — that “have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam” should be reinstated. Following the majority “yes” vote from users, the billionaire began restoring accounts of MAGA Republicans, such as MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and Neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin, who'd been banned from Twitter since 2013. Rolling Stone referred to "the return of extremist figures to Twitter" as a "hallmark of Musk's early tenure."

However, Musk is not treating all Twitter users equally. The tech CEO had suspended a select list of journalists, himself, last year from the platform "for, he said, violating the company’s terms of service." A few weeks later, he asserted that the journalists "were welcome to return to the platform" only if they would "abide by Twitter's rules."
Washington Post journalist Paul Farhi reported, “Twitter has privately demanded that the suspended journalists delete the tweets that drew Musk’s ire in the first place — a condition the reporters have refused to accept. The result is a stalemate: The suspended journalists remain in Twitter purgatory, unable to access their accounts.”
Unlike his treatment of the journalists, Musk is granting Fuentes, 24, free reign back on the platform.
The extremist first gained notoriety as a Boston University student attending theUnite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he and other attendees chanted “Jews will not replace us.” He later founded the “America First Political Action Conference,” which has been attendedby far-right MAGA Republican House of Representatives members like Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

But more recently, the extremist anti-Seminite met with former president Donald Trump and rapper Kanye West, now known as “Ye,” — who, at the time, also publicly spewed antisemetic remarks — at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
According to Rolling Stone, prior to reinstatement, Fuentes has been able to expand a "cult-like following" called the Groypers, and although the coalition describes itself a "Christian-conservative," members and followers often "weaponize antisemitic and racist tropes against their targets."

Your Racist Baby
Does your baby hate Black people, women, gays, and Jews? Well, what better way to let the world know than by dressing your infant in a Cozy.TV onesie?
Founded by Nick Fuentes—the racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, America-hating, Christian fascist leader of the white nationalist America First movement—Cozy.TV was built to be a streaming platform for far-right activists who had been banned from all other mainstream social media platforms. “We are anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-Black, antisemitic,” Fuentes bragged of his platform.
If your baby is also a virulent bigot, then they’ll surely love to be dressed in one of these Cozy.TV onesies “that’s bound to get the baby all happy and giggling.”

rww 10 22
October 2021, white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who had managed to get kicked off all mainstream social media sites as well as loosely moderated streaming sites, launched Cozy TV. The new streaming network would be explicitly “anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-Black, antisemitic,” he said.
Fast forward to today, and a host of familiar far-right names have joined the network in the past week alone: Roger Stone, Trump confidant and dirty trickster; Ali Alexander, the leader of the movement promising to “stop the steal” after Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election; and Laura Loomer, a two-time failed congressional candidate and self-declared proud Islamophobe.
While each now has a channel on the network, it’s unclear whether they will offer any original content there. Stone streamed his “The Stone Zone” show on the channel last night, as well as on Mike Lindell’s Frank Speech Platform. This follows the pattern of other streamers on the network, including radical conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who streams the same content he offers Cozy TV on his conspiracy theory network InfoWars. Though Jones has been welcomed back to more mainstream right-wing media like Fox, Jones was broadly deplatformed from mainstream sites after he falsely claimed the parents of the slain children at Sandy Hook were paid actors, leading to their harassment; he was recently ordered to pay $965 million for his lies.
Not everyone on Cozy TV who has made it the cesspool that it is appears welcoming to these newcomers. Kai Schwemmer, a 19-year-old influencer with the white nationalist America First youth movement, lashed out at Ali Alexander Tuesday, claiming that he had heard “credible” accusations that Alexander is a pedophile. (It looks like the right’s obsession with accusing of people of pedophilia applies to their own as well.)
And while the Christian nationalist Fuentes threw his support behind Laura Loomer, who supports a white ethnostate, during her congressional primary in Florida this summer, calling her “one of our own,” fractures between Loomer and Fuentes have appeared before. After Fuentes attacked Jews this summer, Loomer, who is Jewish, tried to come to terms with her ally’s antisemitism, posting on Telegram, “I don’t understand the obsession some people have with demonizing all Jews.” During her second congressional bid, Fuentes also tried to convince his followers that Loomer was OK, even though she is a woman and a Zionist. “People say, ‘Well, she’s a Zionist, she’s a woman. We don’t support women in office, we don’t support Zionists.’ And that’s true,” Fuentes said. “But she would be the only one out of 530-some congressmen and senators who is going to be fully red-pilled.”
It’s unclear how much of an increase in viewership this new cast of characters will see from joining Fuentes’ platform. Former associates of Fuentes have claimed that he manipulates the viewership numbers to make himself appear more popular than he is, though extremist researchers have been unable to confirm the veracity of this allegation.
It’s notable that so many of the far-right activists and Republican operatives who were prominent in the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and who called for violence to keep Trump in office would join the same platform. A day before the election, Stone was caught on tape saying, “Fuck the voting, let’s get right to the violence.” Stone led the first so-called “Stop the Steal” campaign in 2018, which falsely alleged fraud and disrupted vote counting in Florida, while Alexander rebooted the campaign in 2020 and urged his followers to take matters into their own hands.
And of course, Fuentes was at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after he suggested that his audience could off lawmakers to prevent them from “stealing” the election. Though he did not enter the Capitol himself, followers of his America First movement did, including Christian Secour, who was recently sentenced to three years in prison for his role in the insurrection.
