What Everyone Misses About Nick FuentesThe racialist influencer represents a spectacle that demands cool analysis rather than emotional reaction.The racialist influencer Nick Fuentes has caused an uproar with his appearance on Tucker Carlson’s podcast. Fuentes, a 27-year-old live-streamer, has built a reputation as the most controversial voice on the right. He’s embraced seemingly every taboo: praising Hitler, disputing the Holocaust’s death toll, calling himself a “white nationalist,” musing about domestic violence, and opposing interracial marriage.Carlson’s invitation has divided conservatives. Some suggest that Fuentes’s appearance on the podcast represented an unacceptable mainstreaming of his views. Others, most notably Heritage Foundation president...

Zoom out: For now, MAGA is being held together by Trump's personality. But open disagreement has broken out over who should, and shouldn't, be accepted under its tent. U.S. support for Israel's operations in Gaza inflamed America First diehards and hardened Israel's MAGA allies. The online divisions have raged during the tenuous ceasefire, including tropes over Jews' supposed disproportionate influence in the U.S. A leaked group chat from New York State Young Republicans included racist comments and messages from a Trump administration nominee declaring he had a "Nazi streak." The revelation sparked debates over who — if anyone — should...

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...

Tucker Carlson’s post-Fox News trajectory is a timeline of escalating provocation and plummeting credibility.Its culmination: His Oct. 28 interview with Nick Fuentes, a sworn enemy of Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and an America worth living in.After leaving Fox in 2023, Carlson pivoted toward an independent, subscriber-based platform that increasingly catered to extremist voices, abandoning the broad conservative appeal that had made him a household name.His September 3, 2024, hosting of Holocaust denier Darryl Cooper drew sharp rebukes from influential Republicans, highlighting Carlson’s willingness to amplify venomous narratives.By September 10, leading conservative outlets decried Carlson’s endorsement of Cooper as “the...

Nick Fuentes hit the jackpot. The white-nationalist influencer made it on the “Tucker Carlson Show,” the nation’s foremost vehicle for laundering noxious ideas into the conservative mainstream. Fuentes is a Holocaust denier and self-avowed racist whose goal is to remake the right in his image. Carlson, who prides himself on asking the supposedly telling questions when it comes to promoting any number of conspiracy theories, couldn’t really bring himself to ask any of Fuentes. Instead, he gave the 27-year-old Nazi sympathizer a tongue bath and said at one point of the Fuentes ideological project, “I guess you won.” This was...

Nick Fuentes, the highly controversial white nationalist roiling the MAGA movement, took a victory lap over Vice President JD Vance, following his interview with Tucker Carlson last week. Fuentes has long been a fierce critic of Vance and has made deeply racist comments in the past about Vance’s interracial and mixed-faith marriage. Carlson’s platforming of Fuentes on his show has led to an escalating battle on the right as many argue that such blatant hate speech should remain outside the realm of mainstream MAGA, whereas Carlson has let it in. “He’s getting squeezed because the Groypers are on the one...

Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes is not happy with former Daily Wire personality Candace Owens for coming for infringing on his turf and appealing to his anti-Semitic audience. After previously praising her for her descent into the fever swamp, Fuentes recently mused that he doesn’t “know how much I really even support what Candace is doing anymore because she’s muddying the waters.” “I had no problem, no complaint, until, one, she started getting a lot of the facts wrong, which really damages all of our credibility. Because you’re already pushing a topic which is very taboo and very challenging for a lot...

The comments came a few days after Senator JD Vance, the vice-presidential candidate from Ohio, rejected far-right white supremacist Nick Fuentes, who had recently targeted Vance's wife, Usha Vance, because of her Indian heritage. Vance stressed that the best way to handle such attacks was to "ignore" them.

A conservative Harris County parents group reported that a left-leaning group published the social media content of high school students who are organizing a Turning Point USA(TPUSA) chapter in the Spring Branch school district. The leftist group, “Be the Change SBISD,” reportedly sent messages to its more than 700 members calling for action against sponsoring teachers and the students. The Harris County chapter of Moms for Liberty posted a report on social media saying that a “TPUSA Club America” high school chapter’s members were “DOXXED” by adults by publishing their social media content to their members in an apparent attempt...

Nick Fuentes asks "Where is the shame, are you not ashamed?" The Hodge Twins give their answer.

In the eyes of Nick Fuentes, Vice President J. D. Vance can’t possibly be the future of the Republican Party. “Vance is not going to be a racist,” Fuentes said during a livestream last week. “You can’t make me go and vote for some fatass with some mixed-race family.” Fuentes, a 27-year-old influencer with more than 730,000 followers on X, showed his audience a photo of Vance with his Indian American wife and biracial kids in front of the Taj Mahal. “How would he possibly ever say that there is an ethnic basis for American identity?” Fuentes asked, referring to...

More than 20 federal employee unions, professional associations and good government groups on Monday urged Senate lawmakers to reject President Trump’s ... ..... “By law, the special counsel must be ‘an attorney who, by demonstrated ability, background, training and experience, is especially qualified to carry out the functions of the position,’” the groups wrote. “As head of OSC, the special counsel should be someone who respects federal workers, who will treat them fairly and without bias. The special counsel must be a person who will exercise their duties in a nonpartisan manner, a person of honesty and integrity who has...

The march from Honduras echoes the 1980 Mariel boatlift. These columns favor generous immigration and asylum for refugees. But when migration becomes a political weapon to foment border chaos, leaders have no choice other than to step in and protect national security. Exhibit A are the 4,000 or so Central Americans moving on foot through Mexico to the U.S. Waves of humanity marching in lock step don’t materialize spontaneously and neither has this “caravan.” This march is organized and not necessarily for the benefit of the migrants. Mr. Trump has good reason to turn it back. Not since the 1980...

There is one chair in the room, and they sit him in it. He pulls out his wallet. He's looking for a number. A phone number, an address. That is why he is here. Fernando the lawyer. Fernando the drug trafficker. He's got a load of marijuana, and they want it.Fernando thinks he's in the company of friends. He thinks this man standing in front of him, this Lalo, is going to deliver the marijuana for him to New York. That's what the numbers are for. They are contacts. They are the people Lalo will call, the people who are...

Fuentes on this recent incident at his home

Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (Ohio) said he “disavows” far-right white supremacist Nick Fuentes, who criticized Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, for her Indian heritage, while arguing the best response is to “ignore” the attacks. Fuentes, who dined at Mar-a-Lago with former President Trump in 2022, went after Vance and his family after he joined the former president’s reelection ticket last month. “Who is this guy, really? Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?” Fuentes said of Vance last month. When asked on...

Elon Musk says X, formerly Twitter, will reinstate the suspended account of Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist and Holocaust-denying broadcaster. Why it matters: Musk's announcement comes as the nation experiences a surge in antisemitism incidents and months after his social media company lost a slew of advertisers following his decision to back an antisemitic post. The decision also came hours after Holocaust survivors launched a new campaign targeting antisemitism and disinformation online. Fuentes' X account was still suspended as of Friday morning. Driving the news: Musk said Thursday that he would lift the ban on Fuentes after a Fuentes supporter...
