Charlie Kirk, the conservative influencer who was assassinated in September, and Nick Fuentes, the young Hitler-loving white nationalist at the center of a growing schism on the right, were bitter enemies.
Fuentes despised Kirk for his support of Israel, and, more broadly, for his efforts to marginalize Fuentes’s gleefully racist and fascist brand of politics. In 2019, seeking to expose Kirk as “anti-white” and a “fake patriot,” Fuentes organized his army of young fans — known as Groypers, after a variant on the alt-right Pepe the Frog meme — to flood events held by Kirk’s organization, Turning Point, and ask hostile questions. At one, they drove Donald Trump Jr. off the stage.
After Kirk was murdered, Fuentes, perhaps fearing he’d be blamed, disavowed violence. But he continued his attacks on Turning Point and accused Kirk’s widow, Erika, of being happy her husband was dead. “I am getting this vibe from her that she’s very fake,” he said.
Even as Fuentes defamed Kirk’s widow, powerful conservatives were engaged in a nationwide campaign to canonize Kirk and destroy progressives who maligned him.
Guest-hosting Kirk’s podcast, JD Vance urged listeners to report anyone celebrating Kirk’s death to their employers. In such an atmosphere, one might think that Fuentes’s stock on the right would have fallen. Instead, it’s risen higher than ever, revealing a seemingly unstoppable ratchet of radicalization on the right.

I wonder what Alex's numbers are like he has grown a lot since being unbanned on twitter but had that defamation suit to deal with which proved costly.
My ass.
That Fuentes is Kirk’s successor is absurd and wishful thinking by the NYT.
Another psy-op from the Times. It’s like the “proud boys” hysteria a few years back.
Who is Nick Fuentes and why should I care?
Who da heck is Nick Fuentes?
YET ANOTHER article about Nick Fuentes
Who the hell is this guy, and why am I suddenly being bombarded with details of what a devil he is?
He’s like Emmanuel Goldstein in the book 1984.
they’re making him famous
I wonder why
Nick will have a lot of fun with this article—starting with the name of the writer.
Looking at the Paul family's long and loving relationship with the other mohammedans I can see why you would like him.
Fuentes and the New York Slimes have several things in common. They both love and admire Joseph Stalin. They both hate Israel for defending itself.
Perhaps the NYT is hoping some crazed leftist will take Nick out—just like Charlie Kirk.
David Duke, Q Anon and now Nick Fuentes. All fabrications of Left Wing Wackos.
“Nick uses bad language too much for my liking and is a bit grating in style.”
So you like his message and ideas, but don’t like his style?
I try to observe and report yes a lot of hits a lot of attention to Nick Fuentes who still has far fewer followers than other folks out there like dare I say Candace Owens.
President Donald Trump is said to have been crossing swords with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in private lately.
Does that now make MAGA a target for takedown in retribution by the likes of Loomer, Levin, Ben Shapiro the “Netanyahu Hit Squad”?
Targets Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, MTG others.
Who? Nobody I know has ever heard of the guy. CIA Psyop? Deep state con? Tucker must be enjoying his big $$ for that Qatari prince, but it is definitely come at the price of destroying his reputation. Tucker is like kryptonite now.
Not wishful thinking - an active effort to smear Turning Point.
Leftist nut murdered Kirk, now the “civilized left” will try to murder his organization.
Doubtful. TPUSA is splintered.
Media is independent these days and there are many platforms
But the constant f this, f that puts me off personally
Correct.
