First, this is in no way related to Charlie Kirk and I'm not saying the killer was alt right.

I'm wondering who here knew about Nick Fuentes prior to this happening? I've watched a few of his videos and the conservative movement needs to do everything they can to separate themselves from this guy and those like him. Guys like this are the problem and allow the left to group the right with people like Nick Fuentes, and we absolutely need to do more than what's already been done (if anything) to draw the line between the right and extremists like Nick Fuentes. Curious to see how others here view this guy.

Never heard anything from him other than he's considered an actual far right personality by the most of the right.

Stop it, the right already did this for the last 10 years, LIBERALS keep bringing him attention. The Left are the ones who need to get over it

Yep, he's a nasty piece of work but charismatic. Think he and Charlie Kirk hated each other. Might be wrong but that's what I heard. He is the head of that pathetic groyper movement. You know, pathetic individuals who live in their parents basement and because they're losers, blame other people for it.

No real conservatives take him seriously. He's a loser.

Stop right there.

Most on the right consider him a loser playing Nuevo-Nazi for clicks.

You strongly suggested it before it was revealed the killer was shacked up with his trans/furry boyfriend. What is the Nick Fuentes obsession? Nobody listens to him

There's a complete wikipedia page on them. At least it was there yesterday. And remember, it's wikipedia.

True, just like Democrats used to give the spotlight to David Duke every 4 years.

It reminds me of the alt-right term. Most conservatives had never heard the term before Hillary used it to describe mainstream conservatives.

So he's far left trying to co-opt the right? I don't know. Never paid attention to him.

Fuentes is bombastic and dark whereas Kirk was a beacon of light on a hill. I'm a hard pass on Fuentes. The Christian-conservative movement can and will do much better than Fuentes.

No. He probably has no true ideology other than being an opportunist.

Yes but only because DJT invited him and another fringe influencer to have a meeting a few years ago

Iirc it was dinner M Lago but can't remember the specifics other than Trump was hosting a Holocaust Denier

Exactly, its always the right needs to distance itself, who on the right is giving this guy screen time? NO ONE

How about progressives take responsibility?

That was a bad invite. Trump and team aren't known for stellar vetting, just ask Laura Loomer.

Your heroes support holocaust deniers and people who put babies in ovens. Not sure what point you think you're making.

Anything else, a bad invite? No one cares...

How about the left distance itself from tran assassins?

Yes, he's a piece of trash. The fact he's associated with the right is a shame because he and his ideology should almost be a category to itself. I'm sure the "average" trendy liberal would say the same of their super far left equivalents, but I'd also say the left at large embraces the fringe far more than the right.

Interesting. I would have assumed before this that anybody who even mildly follows this countries political discourse and debate from either the left or the right would have pretty much heard of Nick Fuentes way before now. He's the poster child on the way, way out there far right that the left marketing folks use to attempt to convince their useful idiots anyone who isn't left is exactly like him and supports him.

Fuentes allegedly banged Destiny, so you can't accuse him of not reaching around the aisle.

The difference is the rank and file conservatives denounce him and his ilk. I can't say I see the same with the liberals and their fringes. If I didn't know any better, I'd think maybe that would indicate they aren't actually "fringes" of the left after all.

From the little that I know about Fuentes it seems that he is popular with right-wing Israel/Jew haters.

The entire left are the fringe of America. Anything the right of indecent and immoral is "right-wing extremists" to them. Someone said a couple of days ago, the right should no longer have enemies to the right. If I could remember who it was, I'd give you credit. Time to stop fighting for a middle ground. Nothing there but yellow lines and dead armadillos.

Yea, anyone that says that men can have babies is fringe.

We now have polls showing that 2/3 of Democrats are Marxists so that 2/3 are fringe by default.

I know of him only because I've come to believe that when most leftists talk negatively about Kirk they are thinking of Fuentes. Fuentes is a fringe person. He's not in the same universe of influence on young people as Kirk was and TPUSA is.

The general mainstream conservative minded person and family made their decision about Fuentes long ago that is why he is at the fringes. Fuentes has a very small reach compared to Kirk. Kirk as nearly 6 million followers. 5 million more followers than Fuentes on X. With close to 5 million following him on YouTube, which Fuentes posts to some alternative video site.

As has always been the playbook with the left. They want people to conflate extremism with mainstream conservative thinking because mainstream conservative pro-American pro-faith, pro-freedom, pro-free speech, pro-family, pro-business, limited government thinking is the natural ethos of the American mind. It is the "moderate" position. Kirk was a mainstream thinker. That is why the more time he spent with young people the more young people shifted to the GOP as a political ticket.

Fuentes does not have the same appeal because he espouses things that most common sense mainstream pro-American young people find unAmerican in the same ways they reject the underlying messages of Marxist movements.

I think Fuentes enjoys some of his following due to Kirk with some surface level seekers believing what they like about Kirk is found within Fuentes. Fuentes absolutely trades on the mistake, his true following I would place at less than 200k people inside this country. In my opinion he has far more followers in Europe than he does in America.

I conflated this Nick Fuentes imposter with Nick Frietas, who is a good man. Not Charlie, but who is? Nevertheless, a very good man.

Sorry.

Fuentes is harmless, especially when compared to folks like Schiff, Comey, McCabe, Obama, Hillary, etc., etc., etc. They're the ones that have done incalculable damage to the U.S., unlike Fuentes, who is nothing more than a shock-jock.
