White nationalist influencer Nicholas J. Fuentes, also known as Nick Fuentes, recently posted a video on his Rumble account disavowing Trump for admitting his 2020 election loss. Fuentes expressed feelings of betrayal as he and his followers faced legal consequences for their role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, which was fueled by Trump's false claims of a rigged election.
The admission of defeat surprised many Trump supporters, given his repeated false claims of victory in the 2020 election throughout the years. Trump lost the popular vote to Joe Biden by 7 million votes and the Electoral College by 72. On Jan. 6, 2021, Trump's followers, including Fuentes, attempted to disrupt the certification of Biden's victory by storming the U.S. Capitol.
