Nick Fuentes’ Six Most Disturbing Moments — Holocaust Denial, Calls for Violence, and Racist Rants

Warning: This article contains extremely offensive and violent language quoted from the subject.

President Donald Trump told reporters he backed Tucker Carlson’s decision to interview Nick Fuentes, saying that viewers should judge for themselves. The interview and Trump’s comment renewed debate over whether high-profile platforms are normalizing extremist views. Fuentes, a 27-year-old white nationalist and anti-Semite, rose from the political fringe after a widely criticized 2022 Mar-a-Lago dinner with Trump and has since appeared on several high-profile alternative media programs.

Fuentes leads a grassroots network often called the "Groyper Army," which has drawn attention by confronting mainstream conservative events to push white-nationalist ideas. Below are six of his most widely reported and disturbing public moments, presented with context and direct quotations where relevant.

1. "Hitler is awesome. Holocaust didn’t happen"

Fuentes has publicly recounted telling his parents that he admired Adolf Hitler and denied the Holocaust on his Rumble channel. He described returning home and saying, "Mom, Dad, Hitler was awesome, Hitler was right, and the Holocaust did not happen," a statement that underscores his embrace of Holocaust denial and praise for Nazi ideology.

2. Promotion of sexual violence

Fuentes has repeatedly made remarks that appear to endorse sexual violence, claiming that many women secretly desire assault. In one widely reported segment he said, in crude terms, that "a lot of women want to be r*ped," and he has used violent sexual language elsewhere to intimidate and provoke.

3. Racial attacks on JD Vance’s marriage and family

Fuentes has launched racially charged personal attacks against Senator/Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance and his wife, Usha. He used slurs and derogatory language to paint their family and political ties as traitorous or corrupt — comments that drew criticism and raised questions about why interviewers might not challenge him directly on such attacks.

4. The "I will kill, r*pe, and die for Nicholas J. Fuentes" oath

Fuentes has led followers in an oath that includes the words "I will kill, r*pe, and die for Nicholas J. Fuentes." The chant exemplifies the cult-like loyalty he has sought to cultivate and has been cited by critics as evidence of dangerously violent rhetoric within his movement.

5. Defending segregation and minimizing Jim Crow abuses

Fuentes has defended segregationist policies and minimized the harms of Jim Crow, arguing that separate facilities and schools were "no big deal" and even claiming segregation was "better in general." Those statements reflect classic white-nationalist positions that seek to justify racial separation and discrimination.

6. Misogynistic and racist slogans

Fuentes has repeatedly promoted misogynistic and racist lines of argument, once asserting that society would be improved if "women need to shut the f*ck up, and blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part." Such statements have been adopted by some followers as provocative slogans and contribute to his notoriety.

Fuentes’s mix of Holocaust denial, praise for Hitler, calls for gender and racial repression, and violent rhetoric — combined with grassroots organizing and occasional appearances on larger platforms — has made him a persistent and polarizing figure. His rise has prompted discussion about deplatforming, free speech, and the responsibilities of media figures who give airtime to extremist voices.
