NYT: Nick Fuentes Was Charlie Kirk’s Bitter Enemy. Now He’s Becoming His Successor
NYT ^ | Nov 3 | Michelle Goldberg

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.

Nick F. is an anti-constitutional, monarcy desiring Christian Nationalist that is nither Christian or patriotic. He’s pure falsehood and evil.

Here is a presentation of him and his ilk in the Christian Nationalist movement.

Share share share.

Nuremberg Nicky once compared Jews going into ovens to baking cookies and insisted you couldn’t possibly bake that many cookies.

No use for this evil fungalspooge.

We need to make the next election more about Scott Presler (voter registration) and not Nuremberg Nicky.
