Tucker's New Buddy

Tucker, Nick, Charlie, Don, and Adolf: what do they all have in common?

The Micropenis Club. Founder: Adolf Hitler.

Tucker Carlson’s cordial interview with Nick Fuentes tells us everything we need to know about the direction the Republican Party is headed. Nick is a White nationalist, virulent racist, misogynist, promoter of violence toward women, and hardcore antisemite who thinks Hitler is cool and the Holocaust didn’t happen. Don’t believe me? Well, here it is — straight from the horse’s mouth.

So, let me be clear: I am not a fan of Ben Shapiro. Not at all. I do, however, have to give him credit for putting together this excellent montage of Nick Fuentes quotes and not sugar coating any of it, as Tucker Carlson did in his interview on October 27, 2025.

Tucker’s interview was like slow-pitch softball for seniors — no one was going to get hurt; in fact, Tucker walked Nick from first base to home plate, giving him a huge amount of exposure — 6.4M views on YouTube alone. And at the end of the interview, Tucker awarded Nick the game ball, and they took a few selfies.

You can bet your bottom dollar that Nick Fuentes’s audience grew exponentially that day, as did Tucker Carlson’s. Each lent the other credibility with their respective audiences. And that’s all that matters, right? More followers = more money in the bank. Ca-ching.

Feel free to shout WHAT THE FUCK about now. With conviction.

If you disliked Tucker Carlson previously, you now have permission to hate the guy. And if, perchance, you are unfamiliar with Nick Fuentes, it is high time to familiarize yourself with this monster who is hugely influencing the GOP and millions of Gen Z men. This 27-year-old “proud incel” (his words) has an audience of over 1M+ on X, 500K on Rumble, and 20K on Kick, and his followers (“Groypers”) are growing at an alarming rate. Fuentes’ dogma is so hateful that he has been banned on YouTube, Facebook, Apple Podcasts, and nearly all other mainstream social media platforms. But as one can imagine, the person who heads up X is just fine with the America First Foundation’s Nazi rhetoric, and it is on this platform that Fuentes thrives, daily broadcasting his seeds of hatred toward Jews, women, and Blacks to his burgeoning audience.

Fuentes, in his room, bed neatly made, wondering why he’s had no luck with the ladies.

Musk’s reasoning for the reinstatement of Nick Fuentes’s X account is explained in The Jewish Herald-Voice’s article from 5/2/24: “Elon Musk says he’ll reinstate antisemite Nick Fuentes to X: ‘It is better to have anti whatever out in the open.” The Herald-Voice goes on to connect the dots of hypocrisy between Musk’s softpedaling of Fuentes’ hate speech and his hardcore legal actions against groups that track and expose antisemitism on X, namely, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, and Media Matters for America. Musk also threatened to sue the Anti-Defamation League, but dropped the suit after they issued several ass-kissing statements praising Musk’s efforts at promoting free speech.

The Herald-Voice makes clear the reality of Musk’s views regarding Fuentes and anti-semitism:

“I cannot claim to be a defender of free speech, but then permanently ban someone who hasn’t violated the law, no matter how much I disagree with what they say,” said Musk, who has sued or threatened to sue watchdogs that track the proliferation of hate speech since he purchased the platform. ‘This will probably cause us to lose a lot of advertisers and [it] makes me sad, but a principle is a principle.”

“Musk, who says he is committed to absolute free speech but who has suspended accounts of journalists whose reporting has upset him, returned Fuentes to Twitter...”

”Musk’s free speech commitments remain inconsistent: The same day he said he would restore Fuentes, he proposed deporting people who remove the American flag and fly another in its place.”

“Despite his Twitter ban, Fuentes has [2023] maintained his following through a livestream and other direct communications. In December, Fuentes said that ‘evildoers’ need to be ‘given the death penalty’ straight up when ‘we take power.’ Among ‘evildoers’ he named ‘perfidious Jews.’ These people that are suppressing the name Christ and suppressing Christianity, they must be absolutely annihilated when we take power,’ Fuentes said on his podcast.”

Got it. Musk is fine giving his platform up to a person who calls for “annilhilating” Jews.

Clearly, Musk is pretty wishy-washy about free speech except when it comes to White supremacists, those who espouse violence towards women, and those who are antisemitic (i.e., Nick Fuentes). In those cases, “a principle is a principle.” Hate speech = free speech. Criticism of X’s policies (however) = grounds for getting booted from the platform and/or sued. FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKER, ELON.

Shortly after this fiasco, I closed my X account, which had over 50,000 followers. 😭 That was hard, but necessary.

Then we have the President of the United States. As Trump defended Tucker’s interview, he sounded as if he were condoning Fuentes’ views — at a minimum, suggesting they were worth considering.

WTF? If at this point you still imagine the GOP or Trump capable of drawing a line in the sand regarding hate speech, guess again, you fool. Fuentes’s horribly antisemitic remarks, some of which refer to Jews killed in concentration camps as “cookies,” have been ignored by most prominent Republicans, minus Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell, neither of whom is even a bench warmer on the junior varsity basketball team these days. HELLO, YOU SPINELESS GOP FUCKERS! WAKE UP! This really bad guy, Fuentes, claims to be on your team, and he has millions of followers. When are you coming down on him?

Sadly, it’s beginning to look like the GOP is going down on Fuentes.

Truth be told, the GOP loves Fuentes’ hate speech. Why else would they REFUSE to condemn it in no uncertain terms? They are like alcoholics who hide their Pappy Van Winkle in the back of the closet.

As Yogi Berra famously said, “It’s déjà vu all over again.” We saw the Republicans for who they truly are in their embrace of Charlie Kirk post-assassination — Charlie became the martyr for the MAGA cause, and now we’re seeing it again, as one of the most influential people in conservative media, Tucker Carlson, legitimizes the message of Nick Fuentes. Nick is dishing out the same nasty rhetoric as Charlie, though admittedly, he does it with a bit more zest.

Will Nick Fuentes be Charlie Kirk’s heir apparent?

And what “a joyful warrior for our country” Kirk was (JD Vance’s words). Enjoy revisiting some of his best quotes:

Back to the Prez. PBS had this to relay in their recent article, “Trump defends Tucker Carlson after interview with Nick Fuentes, far-right activist known for his antisemitic views”:

“Trump defended Carlson, saying the former Fox News host has ‘said good things about me over the years.’ He said if Carlson wants to interview Nick Fuentes, whose followers see themselves as working to preserve America’s white, Christian identity, then ‘people have to decide.’ Trump did not criticize Carlson or Fuentes.”

Apparently, Fuentes enjoyed Trump’s reaction to his interview with Carlson, as he posted a “Thank you, Mr. President!” along with a video of Trump’s response on X.

Also interesting is this quote from Fuentes’s America First Foundation website:

“Founded in 2020 by Nicholas J. Fuentes, The America First Foundation was founded as the standard bearer of Donald Trump’s unique 2016 agenda — transforming it into a more authentic, effective, and Christian movement.”

My guess: Trump is way more connected to Fuentes than he pretends to be. Surely we all remember Don breaking bread with Nick and Ye on November 22, 2022, at Mar-A-Lago. This lunch came right after Kanye West had made explicit antisemitic statements in interviews and across all of his social media, at one point threatening to go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.” Purportedly, Trump was unaware of Ye’s hateful proclamations before inviting him to lunch, and he was blindsided by Ye’s bringing an uninvited guest along (Fuentes). Yeah, right.

On another front, prominent Republican Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, did this, rather than chastising Carlson for hosting this monstrous guest and treating him as if he were a decent person: Roberts came out in defense of Tucker, speaking multiple times after his Fuentes interview, spinning this massive faux pas into an argument against “cancel culture” rather than addressing the GOP’s mainstreaming of antisemitism. On this issue of cancel culture, Robert explains he is inflexible and, because of this, refuses to condemn Fuentes’s antisemitic remarks. As he skirts the antisemitism issue altogether, he proclaims that The Heritage Foundation “will never ever stop fighting anti-semitism in all its forms.” Bullshit. If the Heritage Foundation is fighting anti-semitism in all its forms, why is their president not fiercely fighting Nick Fuentes about his atrociously antisemitic views?!

Turns out I’m not the only person who thinks Kevin Roberts is full of shit. Over the last few weeks, numerous MAGA bigwigs have severed ties with the Heritage Foundation or resigned from the organization because of Robert’s unwavering stance: Robert George, Ryan Neuhaus, Stephen Moore, Mark Goldfeder, Luke Moon, Chris DeMuth, and Adam Mossoff. It would appear that cancel culture is alive and well within the MAGAsphere.

Conveniently, Fuentes supports everything that Trump and the Project 2025 folks aspire to, though in proselytizing to his flock of Littluns and Biguns (remember Lord of the Flies?) Fuentes emphasizes that the GOP is not going far enough — he is pushing these young members of the MAGA tribe toward a more extreme, aggressive version of the Project 2025 agenda. And these young men are buying into it. Big time.

The America First boys are now the MAGA movement’s warriors, along with the young women and men led by Erika Kirk of Turning Point USA. Tucker Carlson, Kevin Roberts, and Trump have lent legitimacy to Fuentes’s twisted propaganda.

This isn’t creepy, right?

My guess: Fuentes’ agenda is closer to the real GOP agenda than many imagine, the one underlying the MAGA movement in its new iteration — the Trump-as-the-forever-president iteration. Thank you, Tucker, for dragging all of this out into the open — this scurrilous agenda that the GOP leadership is too chickenshit to say out loud. Nick Fuentes, who clearly suffers from Impulse Control Disorder, has become the GOP’s oracle.

And I throw this in for a laugh — Ted Cruz actually said something intelligent in response to the Carlson interview:

“Now is a time for choosing. Now is a time for courage … If you sit there with someone who says Adolf Hitler was very, very cool and their mission is to combat and defeat ‘global Jewry’, and you say nothing, then you are a coward, and you are complicit in that evil.” — October 2025, Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) Leadership Summit

Yeah, we’ll see what Ted says when he’s up for reelection. My guess is that he’ll have found a new definition for “evil.”

This guy, Fuentes, may cause a rift in the GOP for a hot minute, but we are all familiar with the routine. In the blink of an eye, the Grand Old White Men’s Party will have embraced Nick exactly as they did Charlie Kirk. They will find a way to spin what he’s saying and turn him into a cultural hero, without appearing to agree with his most offensive statements (though they do). You know the schtick — let the young firebrand express what the old guys are really feeling, deep down. It’s like they’re getting their rocks off watching someone else have sex with their wife when they can’t get it up.

Be sure to read The New Yorker’s take on all of this: “Nick Fuentes Is Not Just Another Alt-Right Boogeyman: the rise of the white-nationalist streamer should worry us even more than it already does.” And The Guardian’s take, as well: “Tucker Carlson’s interview with far-right antisemite Nick Fuentes divides conservatives.”

And of course, you’ll want to watch that Carlson-Fuentes interview in its entirety. Horribly, this is what lies ahead for our country.

Pour yourself some bourbon and keep the bottle nearby. You’re gonna need it.

And here’s to Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is apparently resigning from Congress. She was just starting to become a decent human being. I think.

Holy shit. What a week.
