The War Over Nick Fuentes Is Over. He Won
Just a few weeks ago, the Republican Party was ripping itself apart as factions moved to either distance themselves from Nick Fuentes, the 27-year-old white nationalist streamer, or to loudly announce they would never bow to the woke mob demanding they disavow the openly racist, proudly misogynist, Holocaust-denying Hitler fanboy.
The outrage cycle is apparently over now, and Fuentes has come out on top: Instead of being sidelined by the uproar that erupted after his appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show in October, Fuentes is now being courted by some of conservative media’s biggest names. Last week he appeared on Alex Jones’ Infowars and Steven Crowder’s podcast “Louder With Crowder.” On Monday he’s scheduled to sit down with Piers Morgan, for his YouTube show “Uncensored.”
The latest uproar fits a pattern for Fuentes, a merchant of young white male rage. He has not only survived repeated attempts to cancel him, dating back to his days as a college freshman, but seems to grow more emboldened and attract an even larger audience with each attempt to make him go away. (Fuentes did not respond to an interview request.)
The one-time Ted Cruz fan with what he once described as “off the shelf” Republican views has become so popular as a white nationalist, woman-hating, Charlie Kirk-antagonizing influencer that even the White House is apparently shaking in its boots.
