In the fall, a video of Nick Fuentes criticizing Donald Trump drew the praise of progressive former US congressman Jamaal Bowman.
“Finally getting it Nick,” Bowman commented, apparently recognizing some common ground between himself on the left and Fuentes, on the far right, who said in the video that Trump was “better than the Democrats for Israel, for the oil and gas industry, for Silicon Valley, for Wall Street,” but said he wasn’t “better for us.”
“My problem with Trump isn’t that he’s Hitler — my problem with Trump is that he is not Hitler,” Fuentes said during his streaming show on Tuesday, which focused mostly on the potential for an American attack on Iran.
He continued, “You have all these left-wing people saying, ‘Why do I agree with Nick Fuentes?’ It’s like, I’m criticizing Trump because there’s not enough deportations, there’s not enough ICE brutality, there’s not enough National Guard. Sort of a big difference!”
Fuentes, the streamer and avowed antisemite who has previously said Hitler was “very f–king cool,” has been gaining more traction as a voice on the right.

Tagging this as History as well. Some young people need a serious lesson in it
Fuentes is a fed set up to discredit the right IMO.
I’m beginning to think this as the whole Hitler thing is just absurd
Or maybe I’m detached. WHo knows
More like ideological side show freak.
Or both. ;-)
What is Fuentes influence within MAGA or Conservatives in the GOP? Next to nil.
So why is Conservative social media so uber fascinated with (keeping all the attention on) Fuentes?? I detect traitors within the ranks; traitors/subversives trying to subvert all the good MAGA and good Conservative causes.
Nicky Foonts is a M3xican who lectures white people about not acting white enough.
My problem is he’s not Penochete
Hitler, in the tears before the war, had written and enforced a document that every German would swear their unquestioning allegiance, not to party nor nation, but directly to Hitler, himself.
President Trump has never asked or mentioned a pledge of allegiance, to him. He has always directed the issue of allegiance, to the country, it’s ideals.
Even so, as for me, it’s the flag, always has been, always will.
Short answer: Nicky is, like Candy-O Owens, what you call a red herring. A more modern term is a catfish. (Note: Both references are tasty.)
Anyway, you’re supposed to be polarized by Nicky Foonts and get into fights with the people closest to you, get involved with weirdos online who support your thinking, lose your job, lose your relationship, lose your home, and go live in an old abandoned trailer out in the woods.
That’s what Nicky is for and that’s about all he’s good for. That’s why you keep seeing him: DISTRACTION DISTRACTION OMG DISTRACTION.
Why do you bring attention to him? He is a nobody and you’re trying to make people notice him.
There is no money to be made in moderation. So he’s selling edgy nonconformity to mush brained youth and “mature” nut jobs.
I watched some - not all - of his Tucker interview.
He said he woke up around 2010 when the Tea Party was at its height and Rand/Ron Paul were in the News alot (Senate and presidential election).
Similar situation with me and he’s only a few years younger.
But I dont think genocidal dictators are ‘cool’ or should be revered. Pretty stupid if you ask me and way off base....

Both products of our globalist bankers...
Yes, absolutely that’s what he is.
@TTFX: It’s worth keeping an eye on this sort of thing and calling it out in my opinion as plain wrong.
@lodi, I think you could be on to something. He’s selling the absurd
And President Trump just took a friendly oval office meeting with the Fuentes adjacent Carlson.
I agree.
