Far-Right Podcaster Nick Fuentes Urges Followers to Abandon Trump, Vote Democrat
In a stunning reversal, far-right podcaster Nick Fuentes—once embraced by the MAGA movement—has launched a scathing attack on former President Donald Trump and is now urging his followers to abandon him and even vote for Democrats. Fuentes's outburst centers on Trump's recent comments about Israel and accusations that Jewish influence controls American foreign policy.
Fuentes Lashes Out at Trump Over "Soldiers Are Gonna Die" Statement
Fuentes specifically targeted Trump for a statement the former president made, which Fuentes claimed was: "soldiers are gonna die." In a lengthy rant, Fuentes questioned the authority behind such decisions, asking: "Who are they dying for? Who's telling them to die for what? Is it the president elected by the people of the United States of America? Or is it the prime minister of Israel?"
He further elaborated, criticizing what he perceives as undue Israeli influence: "What gives him the ability or the right or the authority to do that? Well, obviously, Netanyahu's authority proceeds from the fact that our country is run by organized Jewry. Jews have all the power in America. They are the gatekeepers, they are the middlemen. They have so much financial leverage, so much political leverage that they cannot be opposed."
Accusations of Israeli Control Over US Policy
Fuentes expanded on his claims, arguing that the United States consistently supports Israel while receiving little in return. He stated: "The US furnishes Israelis with F35s, tolerates their nuclear program, protects them in the international community from condemnation in the Security Council, from sanctions from European countries, and yet they seem to be able to act alone."
He painted a picture of Israeli dominance in the US-Israel relationship, saying: "Israelis come to the White House and tell our president, hey, this is the way it's gonna be. We're going in with you or without you. Who's the boss here? Who's in control of this relationship? Who is the superpower? Trump or Netanyahu? And, of course, we all know that Israel is the boss. Israel controls our country now. Now you know it for a fact."
Call to Action: Vote Democrat in Midterms
In a direct appeal to his audience, Fuentes urged them not to vote for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. He criticized the current administration, alleging: "What does this administration do, other than cover up the Epstein files, embezzle money through government contracts, and bring us to war for Israel?"
Fuentes, who has a history of being accused of antisemitism, concluded with a stark command: "This administration needs to be shut down immediately. Do not vote in the midterms, and if you do, vote for Democrats, f--- this."
