Maybe you remember in October Trump’s friend Kanye West
announced: "I'm a bit sleepy tonight
but when I wake up I'm going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.”
Well, guess who’s coming to dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
West brought along another fellow MAGA traveler and pal
Nick Fuentes.
Maybe you remember him from such patriotic events like
the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in August 2017, and the
deadly “Stop the Steal” rally on January 6, 2021.
We know Trump had to be prompted several times to
denounce the “very fine people” gathered with David Duke in Charlottesville,
when he proclaimed, “We’re here to fulfill the promise of Donald Trump. That’s
why we voted for him”.
Trump’s kind of people. Just like his mob that terrorized
Congress and sent a hundred cops to the hospital. He praised them with, “You’re
very special. We love you”.
All charming company, no doubt, and deserving of a lavish
dinner party at Mar-a-Lago. Not to mention the promise of a future presidential
pardon.
Feeling the stirring neurons from his primitive amygdala, Fuentes crowed to his squealing cheering toadies: “This is going to be the most racist, sexist, anti-semitic, holocaust-denying, speech in all of Dallas this weekend!”
Fuentes is known for telling Jews to, "get the fuck out of America":
"You serve the devil. You serve Satan. ... I piss on your Talmud."
Nice guy, amirite?
West, who has legally changed his name to Ye, posted a video on Twitter claiming that Trump “is really impressed with Fuentes.”
And Trump approvingly wrote of West on Truth Social. “Anyway, we got along great, he expressed
no anti-Semitism, & I appreciated all of the nice things he said about me
on Tucker Carlson.”
The mutual admiration is so, um, Klanish.
Lest I be accused of mis-quoting the racist neo-Nazi
Trump supporter, I’ve collected a few more of his white supremacist and openly
racist rhetoric.
"When
it comes to the Jews, every society where shit has gone down with these people,
it always goes from zero to sixty."
“The
Jews had better start being nice to people like us, because what comes out of
this is going to get a lot uglier for them…”
The Anti-Defamation League has a list of things
we should know about Nicholas J. Fuentes:
Nicholas
J. Fuentes: Five Things to Know
July 08, 2021
1) Nicholas Fuentes is a white supremacist leader and
organizer and podcaster who seeks to forge a white nationalist alternative to
the mainstream GOP.
2) Nicholas Fuentes believes that he is working to defend
against “leftist” cultural changes that are destroying the “true America:” a white,
Christian nation.
3) Fuentes has used his platforms to make numerous
antisemitic and racist comments.
4) Fuentes promoted election fraud narratives and
encouraged his adherents to participate in nationwide “Stop the Steal”
protests.
5) Fuentes has been embraced and praised by a spectrum of
far right-wing fringe conservatives, providing him a larger platform for
elevating the America First movement.
In 2017, Fuentes began hosting his livestream show
America First with Nicholas J. Fuentes, which attracted a cult-like following.
Fuentes refers to these supporters as “Groypers” or the “Groyper Army,” who see
their bigoted views as necessary to preserve white, European-American identity
and culture. They believe that the mainstream conservative movement is just as
responsible as liberals and the left for destroying white America, and that
Groypers are the true future of the conservative movement.
“Our
civilization is being dismantled, our people are being genocided, and
conservatives can’t think past what will play well with liberal media in the
next election.”
“If
you are a White male zoomer, remember that the people in power hate you and
your unborn children and they will try to genocide you in your lifetime.”
"I
don’t see Jews as Europeans and I don’t see them as part of Western
civilization, particularly because they are not Christians.”
“Any
serious person thinking about globalization and demographic changes should
actually care a lot about racial differences in intelligence. But this subject
doesn’t “interest” you because it’s not convenient for your trojan horse brand
of kosher nationalism.”
Fuentes
and other members of America First were present at the Capitol on January 6,
about which Fuentes said, “This is awesome...we have been beat up and betrayed
and spit on and stepped on for decades. And to see the tables turned for once
was a little bit refreshing.” Fuentes was seen that day giving a speech near
the Capitol encouraging his followers to “keep moving towards the Capitol – it
appears we are taking the Capitol back!”
“White
people founded this country. This country wouldn’t exist without white
people…people are done being bullied.”
The last quote is the key to fascism. Every racist, every
Nazi from Hitler to our American neo-Nazis, every white supremacist, every
Proud Boy, Oath Keeper, every Klansman, and every white nationalist of every
stripe (and even color) have this in common.
They are all victims. When their Dear Leader announced
his bid for the presidency he succinctly made this point. “I am a victim!”
It’s the famous, patented, all-purpose, demonizing
“Victim Card” they pull out for every occasion. There can be no fascist
movement without a strong sense of manufactured victimization, to incite hate
for the hated “others”, minorities, immigrants, the left, democracy, and even
the legal system. Of course, none ever have as much political power as the
Angry White Conservatives, but equality was never in their interest. Only their
power and privilege.
I don’t know about most conservatives, but most
Republicans have indicated they are quite OK with this. Not a peep of
condemnation.
They are what they are.

them the first time.” ~Maya Angelou
