“We’re in a holy war. And I will tell you this: Because we’re willing to die in the holy war, we will make them die in the holy war.”
This is what neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, who had dinner with Republican front-runner Donald Trump less than one year ago, said at an “America First” rally in West Palm Beach on Sunday.
“They will go down—we have God on our side—and they will go down with their Satanic master,” he continued. “They have no future in America. The enemies of Christ have no future in this world.”
Again, Fuentes had dinner with Trump in Florida last November. Neither Trump nor DeSantis—nor most of the Republican Party, for that matter—criticized Fuentes after learning what he stands for.
Fuentes’s comments on Sunday were livestreamed to some 5,000 people on Rumble. It’s unclear how many people were actually in the crowd, but in-person tickets for the rally went at $50 a pop, with $1,000 netting guests a special private dinner too. And the room of largely socially isolated boys with apparently nothing better to spend their money on roared in applause at Fuentes’s pledge to “make them die in the holy war.”
Elsewhere in the rally, Fuentes kicked out a heckler who questioned his previous support for far-right conspiracy theorist and January 6–inciter Ali Alexander, who allegedly propositioned teenage boys for sex and solicited nude photos and videos from them.
“Oh, security, get him out,” Fuentes said, with his finger pointed, unsurprisingly not engaging with the question. “Thank you, everybody,” Fuentes said to the crowd, appreciating the mob’s boos to drown out the uncomfortable inquiry.
Fellow far-right streamer Ethan Ralph—who was convicted of disseminating “revenge porn” of the mother of his child and ex-girlfriend, and separately is on bad terms with Fuentes—claimed that there were “36 cars total at Fuentes Rally 2 lmfao,” guessing there were about “144 ppl.”
Meanwhile, the rally seems to have, perhaps, given others some concern too. “!!” Elon Musk replied to a tweet with screenshots of the event’s comment section on Rumble.
The comments included remarks such as, “HITLER FAILED US BY NOT FINISHING THE JOB,” “WITHOUT LIES ISLAM DIES,” and “Jew rapists,” as well as eager use of a vicious slur against Jewish people.
But given the content, one may wish Musk’s consequent amplification of the tweet would’ve included more explicit concern than just an exclamation.
Fuentes’s comments, of course, are not aberrant. Fuentes was previously banned from social media outlets for violent rhetoric about people of color, women, Jewish people, immigrants, LGBTQ people, Covid-19, and much more. He has also proudly said he’s “just like Hitler” (whom he has also called “a pedophile … also really fucking cool”), and that “Catholic monarchy, and just war, and crusades, and inquisitions” are much better than democracy.
Such a character is set to be headlining a College Republicans convention at the end of July.
“Oh, security, get him out,” Fuentes said, with his finger pointed, unsurprisingly not engaging with the question. “Thank you, everybody,” Fuentes said to the crowd, appreciating the mob’s boos to drown out the uncomfortable inquiry.
Calling for a state of total war, and then immediately following it up by crying to the teacher to make the mean kid go away. He's too pathetic to take seriously.
This motherfucker is all like"I wish it were the good old days", but when he says that he doesn't mean the 50s like most rightwingers say, he's talking about the Crusades.
He doesn’t mean the 50s because he knows the KKK will lynch him for having the name “Fuentes” lol
Jesus must get really tired of people who would kill Him talking Him up like this
here's a thought dipshits Jesus doesn't want you to spread revenge porn of the mother of your kid. And He definitely doesn't want you to kill the Jews
Sartre quote
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
Wild how they still hitch their wagon to Trump who's been one of hell of a staunch ally of Israel but I get it it's an uneasy alliance where they allow Israel to live as long as they continue genociding muslims.
Oh no it's perfectly consistent. Evangelical Dispensationalism (trying to bring about the Rapture, for the unfamiliar) requires Israel to exist
Of course there are material reasons that the West supports Israel, but any Evangelicalism-derived strain of Christian Nationalism will tend to be:
-
Anti-Jewish on the grounds that "they killed Jesus"
-
Antisemitic in the specific tradition that goes back at least as far as the Russian Empire, and
-
Fiercely supportive of Israel
I always forget that little tidbit about supporting Israel to bring about the end of the world. Normal, healthy people.
That and the smarter ones see it as a place they can send all the Jews
Lol yeah, I don't think they like to talk about that to secular audiences. Trying to end the world by metaphysical means evokes the phrase 'death cult' and almost nobody wants to join a death cult
Basically just a free license to bleed everything dry. When the time comes for everyone else to pay for the debt you've incurred? Well, that's just the prophesied end times of course
A dupe so transparent it never should have worked at any point in human history
-
dark horse candidate for stupid civil war is the evangelicals who love israel fighting the mask-off antisemites to protect the rapture
“We’re in a holy war. And I will tell you this: Because we’re willing to die in the holy war, we will make them die in the holy war.”
You heard the man, he's willing to die. Might as well oblige him.
I think it would be very cool and funny if someone shot Nick Fuentes in the head.
I just think white supremacists getting got violently and publicly is cool and good! I'm just an innocent sicko, I promise!
I see a lot of my comrades calling for death...I would ask you to please observe temperance and simply pummel this man child to the point where his brain is only suited for menial tasks due to massive head trauma

You're the one who allowed this guy back on Twitter.
Elsewhere in the rally, Fuentes kicked out a heckler who questioned his previous support for far-right conspiracy theorist and January 6–inciter Ali Alexander, who allegedly propositioned teenage boys for sex and solicited nude photos and videos from them.
He has also proudly said he’s “just like Hitler” (whom he has also called “a pedophile … also really fucking cool”)
What’s wrong with being a devout catholic?
The Ethan Ralph guy who Nick Fuentes kicked out of America First leaked a dm from Tucker Carlson that criticized Nick Fuentes for being a bad white supremacist. Tucker Carlson doesn't even like nick.
