Why Is Nick Fuentes So Popular? Nikki Haley’s Son on Tucker Carlson Show (Transcript)
The Singju Post ^ | November 20, 2025 | Tucker Carlson

Posted on 11/20/2025 5:14:24 PM PST by Kazan

And the lesson that our professional betters in Washington have drawn over the past few weeks is that means they are as bad as Nick Fuentes. They are Nazis too!

Tucker Carlson: "But of course, they are not Nazis by and large. They are just American young people. And so the question is—and it is a pressing question if you care about the future of the country—why have they been listening to Nick Fuentes? Sincerely, like what is this?

Why aren’t they listening to somebody from the Heritage Foundation or the Daily Wire?

Why do they believe Nick Fuentes more than they believe the people who think they ought to have a monopoly on the attention of young conservatives? That is a really important question. And what does it say not simply about their attitudes, but about the problems they face, the society they grew up in, the future they imagined for themselves?

What does it say about all of that, that Fuentes is so popular among young men? After all, young men really are kind of the basis of our hope for continuing as a country.

##

It’s immoral to dismiss the concerns of your countrymen as beneath consideration. “I don’t have to listen to you because you like some guy who has got ugly views.”

By the way, it is not a defense of all of Fuentes’ views. We interviewed him on the show and said it is totally immoral to hate Jews as a group because it’s totally immoral to hate any group. Period. That’s always wrong.

But it doesn’t mean that everything Fuentes says is wrong. It’s not wrong. And more to the point, what he says on the air and his huge popularity, which has only increased the more these people scream at him, says a lot about the people who are listening and their legitimate concerns and the factors in our society, in America and in the West, that gave rise to their attitudes."

What about that is "immoral to hate Jews as a group" don't those attacking Carlson understand?

Disagree with him all you like about Gaza and/or aid to Israel. I do. But, smearing him as pro-Fuentes, anti-Semitic and a Nazi is nothing less than despicable, as despicable as the tactics the left uses.

That is the problem with somebody like Fuentes. He says a lot of truthful things, but then he attaches it to falsehoods.

This nick guy doesn’t appeal to me from what I read but I know enough to not judge someone in the modern era based on 2nd or 3rd hand info. I just don’t feel an urgency to learn more.

Thanks for posting.

That is a new one.

The World Jewish Congress, the Jewish Leadership Conference and the Jewish Federations of North America met in the last week or so and agreed to start lobbying to condemn Fuentes.

There is an interesting National Endowment for the Humanities grant from September related to this topic as well—almost certainly some of the funding went to conference participants:

Are you Gen-Z or Gen-A?

That's who people like Nick Fuentes appeal to. And like it or not, it's their world now. Old Gen-X guys like me are just along for the ride.

Yes. I also believe that the overuse of worlds like racism, fascism, Nazism, or Hitler gave Hitler certain aura of positivity.
If Trump is worse than Hitler, than, many people can reason, that Hitler was not that bad?!

It is time to people stop using these worlds to call everybody whom they do not like.
They seem to be trying to resurrect the evil spirits of the past!

Fuentes is an "asset" controlled by someone. He's getting paid for it.

So he's similar to Harry Sisson, actually.

Red herring much?,

Even horrible views are worthy of "consideration", if only so that you are aware of how dangerous/odious some people might be. As well as distinguishing between those who deserve support, and those who deserve condemnation.

He is a troll, likely paid by the left to throw everyone off.

Either that or he's doing shock podcast, like Howard Stern used to. But, instead of shocking with sexual perverted comments, he spews outrageous ethnic comments.
