Overview
- Piers Morgan hosted a contentious, roughly two-hour live interview on YouTube in which he said he aimed to examine Fuentes’ record, with the stream peaking at about 117,000 viewers.
- Fuentes doubled down on past praise for Adolf Hitler, calling him “really f—king cool” and citing Nazi uniforms and parades, while mocking objections to his comments.
- Pressed on Holocaust denial, Fuentes appeared to acknowledge that at least 6 million Jews were killed, framing his stance as opposition to laws that criminalize Holocaust denial in some countries.
- Fuentes embraced overtly racist and misogynistic positions, laughing when called a racist after using a slur for Usha Vance, saying he avoids living near Black people, arguing women shouldn’t vote, and admitting he is a virgin who finds women difficult to be around.
- The appearance reignited the platforming fight that followed Tucker Carlson’s October interview with Fuentes, as Schumer introduced a resolution rejecting Fuentes’ views and condemning Carlson for not pushing back.
