Overview
- Nick Fuentes used Carlson’s platform to repeat antisemitic conspiracies and Holocaust denial while promoting a pro‑white, Christian nationalist agenda.
- The two‑plus‑hour video amassed roughly 6 million YouTube views by Monday afternoon, with Carlson’s channel followed by nearly 5 million users.
- Prominent conservatives, including Ben Shapiro and Republican Jewish Coalition CEO Matt Brooks, condemned the interview as overly deferential and accused Carlson of normalizing Groyper rhetoric.
- Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts defended Carlson, prompting resignations from an internal antisemitism task force; WAZ and Berliner Morgenpost report Roberts resigned, while FAZ says he rejected calls to step down.
- The episode deepened factional fights over antisemitism and influence on the right as observers debate whether Fuentes could fill the vacuum left by murdered activist Charlie Kirk, despite their long-running feud.
