JD Vance and Nick Fuentes Engage in Heated Exchange Over Political Allegiances
The ongoing conflict between Vice President JD Vance and political commentator Nick Fuentes has reignited with fresh intensity, as Vance publicly denounced Fuentes and his followers, known as groypers. In a recent interview with Daily Mail, Vance made it clear that anyone targeting his family, regardless of their political affiliation, is firmly opposed to him. This statement came in response to Fuentes' earlier criticisms, setting the stage for a bitter back-and-forth.
Vance Condemns Fuentes and Groypers in Strong Terms
JD Vance expressed his disdain for Nick Fuentes, emphasizing that he does not even understand the term "groypers." He stated, "I don't think I should answer for a guy who attacks my family and didn't even support us in 2024. Like I said, I don't like the guy. The guy's come after my family. Of course I do. What did I say about him? That he can eat sh** because anybody who goes after my family, whatever side they're on, they're on the opposite side of me." Vance's remarks underscore his unwavering stance against personal attacks, regardless of the political context.
Fuentes Fires Back with Harsh Criticism and Cultural Remarks
Nick Fuentes was quick to respond, asserting that Vance has lost significant support from groypers due to his positions. Fuentes declared, "I will reserve my endorsement for a candidate that is actually willing to put America first over Israel, over India. We don't need another president who puts H-1B Indians and Jews and their money over the US. I condemn you, your liberal wife, and your sugar daddy, Peter Thiel." Fuentes further mocked Vance with culturally insensitive comments about Indian cuisine, saying, "I know that's how they roll where your wife is from. Good for you. I don't need any cultural enrichment. Thanks, but no thanks. I am trying to be polite...save it for your Indian festival. I like hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken. I will have the butter chicken, okay? The curry? I will try it but sh**, that's a little too third-world for me. I am not that adventurous."
Vance's Moral and Policy Stance on Hate and Support
When questioned about whether the Republican Party should embrace groypers, Vance reiterated his commitment to moral clarity. He explained, "I think people are going to vote for us or not vote for us. I think that there are certain things that we should have the moral clarity to condemn. I think Jew hatred is disgusting. You shouldn't hate people because they're white. You shouldn't hate people because they're Jewish. You shouldn't hate people because they're black. And I don't like anybody who does that or engages in that stuff. So when you say supporters of this or that person, all I can do is say what I believe, take the moral stance and the policy stance that I believe." This highlights Vance's broader rejection of hate-based politics.
Fuentes Warns of Political Consequences
In his concluding remarks, Fuentes issued a stark warning to Vance, stating, "You condemn me? I condemn you. Don't complain when we don't vote for you." This exchange not only reveals the personal animosity between the two figures but also points to deeper ideological rifts within political movements, with implications for voter alignment and party dynamics.
