Who is Kanye West and Donald Trump’s antisemitic new friend, Nick Fuentes?
The leader of the groypers, the 24-year-old is an outspoken white supremacist
Fuentes attended the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, where marchers chanted, “Jews will not replace us.” He also spoke at the Capitol on Jan. 6, urging followers to “take this country back by force if necessary.”
His antisemitic statements and beliefs are so extensive they are hard to list comprehensively. He has denied the Holocaust, comparing dead Jews to making cookies. He derogatorily referred to Daily Wire columnist Matt Walsh as a “shabbos goy race traitor” because he works for conservative talking head Ben Shapiro, who is Jewish. In his keynote speech for AFPAC in 2022, talking about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, he quipped, “They compare Putin to Hitler like it’s a bad thing.”
Fuentes has repeatedly endorsed the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, which alleges that Jews and other minorities are attempting to wipe out white culture. He frequently uses antisemitic dog whistles such as the term “globalists” to warn against Jewish influence.
