"Nick Fuentes, a 27-year-old white nationalist livestreamer, routinely uses his platform to deny the Holocaust, praise Adolf Hitler, denigrate women as "baby machines," and make wildly racist statements. Fuentes' abhorrent views have propelled him to far-right celebrity status, and he presides over a movement of "groypers"-young, highly online incels, neo-Nazis, and racist shitposters who follow him. Over the years, Fuentes has been crystal clear about his ultimate goal:"
"Some conservative commentators criticized Carlson for hosting Fuentes, noting that he was a longtime adversary of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, the founder of conservative youth movement Turning Point USA who was assassinated in September. Commentator Dinesh D'Souza surfaced old texts in which the late Kirk described Fuentes as "vermin" and said debating him was a "massive mistake." Other critics included far-right activist Laura Loomer, who is Jewish and who has feuded with both Carlson and Fuentes in recent months."
Nick Fuentes is a 27-year-old white nationalist livestreamer who denies the Holocaust, praises Adolf Hitler, denigrates women as "baby machines," and makes overtly racist statements. Fuentes leads a movement of "groypers" composed of incels, neo-Nazis, and racist shitposters and seeks to pull mainstream conservatism toward the far right so Republicans feel free to salute Hitler or use the N-word. Tucker Carlson hosted Fuentes on his show, where Fuentes advanced antisemitic conspiracies and called Jews "unassimilable." The segment drew nearly five million YouTube views and provoked sharp conservative division and public criticism.
