Nick Fuentes, from troll king to... leader of a true 'America First' movement?

When do people stop making excuses for him?

It's probably only people who like him or resonate with his views who would make excuses for him. Many would not even know of him, or simply can't be bothered 'makeing excuses for him', or even supporting him. He seems to be a button pushing 'drama queen'.

I agree with Candace and Tucker on his character. I think that he's racist because he is insecure (and so is his family). If he was Israeli, he would 'hate' Arabs, if he was African, he would be a 'war lord', but he's not, he's a white 'christian' American. Even though he's young, this doesn't seem to be a person of good character. To me, he looks like he's running the right wing equivalent of what Antifa represents.

Anyway, when I saw he was going on The Daily Wire with Ben Shapiro, it reminded me a little of "Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar". I wonder how long THAT's going to last?

It stands to reason that Israel would want to capitalize on Charlie Kirk's death just as it stands to reason The Daily Wire would want to recruit people who don't take a moral stance on Israel. Maybe they just want to recruit people of whom Israel would approve?

Breaking Points

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar is a fearless anti-establishment Youtube show and podcast.

Could be that they see NF's views more as "anti-Netanyahu" than anti-Israel, so they figure he can be used to vector anti-Israel sentiment in that direction? If so, it could be another indication that the deep state is getting ready to throw BN 'under the bus'.

Looks like NF just did a 180 on Israel. $$$

That tweet was just a comment on the change in stance from NF and not a breaking news statement that NF is going on The Daily Wire.

A more accurate read of the tweet would be, "Nick's parroting the Israeli line so hard that he may as well join Ben Shapiro on The Daily Wire."

Ah, missed the sarcasm on that one!

"More than anything, I love to humiliate people who are wrong."

Still a troll king then.

More generally though, what's he's exposing is his immature, cartoonish understanding of 'Israel', where it's just 'a tiny country over there' that somehow, 'magically', 'controls' US government policy in the broad strokes, but doesn't/can't carry out 'specific executive actions' within the US.

Something to keep in mind, as Joe has pointed out on the Charlie Kirk thread, that America First Israel critics like Fuentes haven't read or seen enough to understand that the country they were born in is really, functionally, 'US-rael', a thoroughly symbiotic enmeshment where it's very difficult to see where one 'regime' ends and the next begins.

2015 MAGA held promise as being a movement that could, potentially, 'de-couple' them back into the US and Israel, but events have shown that that's not gonna happen.
