Donald Trump was recently asked by the press about what he thinks about political commentator Tucker Carlson’s latest interview on controversial streamer Nick Fuentes, and Trump defended Carlson because the podcaster has “said good things about me over the years.”
For the people who don’t know who Fuentes is — lucky you. He’s a 27 year old political streamer with far right views. But before you think he’s just a natural counter-weight to figures like Hasan Piker, think again. Fuentes often goes viral on Instagram and X saying heinous things about the Jewish community and proudly using slurs to describe black people. He does inject some actual political commentary in his streams, but how he talks about minorities betrays a hateful rhetoric that should immediately disqualify him for serious conversations about nation building.
