White Nationalist Nick Fuentes Criticizes Tucker Carlson's Antisemitic Remarks at Charlie Kirk Memorial

Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist and Holocaust denier, has been expanding his reach by appearing as a guest on numerous right-leaning podcasts and shows, collectively amassing over 7.2 million views, significantly more than on his own platforms. Recently, Fuentes reignited a feud with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson by sarcastically criticizing Carlson's eulogy at Charlie Kirk's memorial, which contained controversial and widely condemned anti-Jewish remarks. Fuentes exaggerated Carlson's speech, falsely attributing explicit antisemitic slurs to him while mocking Carlson for what Fuentes deemed as "overkill" even by his own extremist standards. Carlson's comments, which likened Kirk's assassination to the death of Jesus Christ and suggested a conspiratorial malevolent Jewish influence, drew condemnation from groups like the Anti-Defamation League for reinforcing harmful stereotypes. Fuentes' mockery included a hyperbolic restatement of Carlson's words and a portrayal of Carlson as a "madman" and "GOAT of gaslighting," highlighting the ongoing tensions between the two far-right figures. This episode underscores Fuentes' strategy of leveraging controversy and mainstreaming extremist rhetoric within far-right circles.
