“The Most Canceled Man in America” has, in fact, been canceled.
Nearly two weeks ahead of the libertarian conference FreedomFest, a lead conference organizer told The Daily Beast on Thursday night that officials had booted the holocaust-denying, Vladimir Putin-applauding, white supremacist rally-going Nicholas Fuentes from the conference’s lineup.
Fuentes had initially been scheduled to appear on a Freedom Fest panel titled “How to Fight the Information Police.” Fuentes was also supposed to host a screening of his short film, “The Most Canceled Man in America,” according to an agenda obtained by The Daily Beast.
But all of that was scratched, after the libertarian conference in Las Vegas thought better of associating with the notorious white nationalist.
FreedomFest would have put Fuentes in the same conference as the likes of other scheduled speakers like Fox News host Lisa Kennedy, former congressman Justin Amash (L-MI), and failed presidential and New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang. On Thursday, though, FreedomFest executive director Valerie Durham told The Daily Beast that Fuentes had been banned after several unnamed “leaders” complained about his appearance on the schedule.
“FreedomFest strongly believes in the fundamental right to free speech and free expression in our nation’s civil discourse,” Durham said in an email. “However, we also reserve the right not to endorse certain points of view that lead our nation away from such discourse.”
Durham conceded that the conference “did not adequately vet the film.”
“During this time, we were approached by several leaders we respect who gave us further information,” Durham wrote. “Upon learning this information, we took a deeper look into Mr. Fuentes’ ideology. As a result of that further research, we decided to remove Mr. Fuentes as a panelist.”

The Hispanic white supremacist.
I predict a record large number of LOSERTARIAN candidates will be on this November’s ballots for Congressional candidates and an unusually small number of Green Party candidates on those ballots.
He’s not really a nice guy.
“leaders” 🤔
I don’t like him.
“Shut up”, they explained.
I never heard of him, but I do know this.
If white people refuse to stand up for their rights, no-one else is going to do it for them.
The Mises Caucus are being called racists too, but FreedomFest didn't cancel them.
“The Most Canceled Man in America”
I thought that title belonged to Alex Jones.
Nick Fuentes is to America First conservatism as Fred Phelps was to Christianity.
“...holocaust-denying, Vladimir Putin-applauding, white supremacist rally-going Nicholas Fuentes.”
Helluva business card, that.
By which you mean intentionally abrasive but right on the facts?
And when you do stand up, you'll be called every Racist name in the book.
I'm beyond caring... So I'm already on my feet.
Cancelled by libertarians!
The Libertarians and the Greens, who don’t agree on much, have been working together in ballot access cases.
Do you remember when the DC Chapter of Free Republic ran Fred Phelps out of town?
Dumb-O-Crats happily funding the losertarians to split the vote.
That’s really funny.
