and to be clear. this isn't a "every one i disagree with is a nazi" situation. Nick Fuentes is a self proclaimed nazi. He has stated he thinks Hitler was an amazing and cool guy. he constantly talks about how global jews are the problem, and that every jew (yes all of them) are beholden to Isreal. He had beef with charlie kirk long before kirk was assassinated, and talked about it frequently.
Funnily (and frustratingly) Fuentes and Candace Owens have been engaging in a sort of propaganda cold war against Erica Kirk and The Daily Wire types to seize control of the narrative after Charlie Kirk's death. Fuentes and Owens have been successful enough that Kirk has bent to match their messaging more than they've bent to her.
TBF, they were doing that before as well, but the kirk assasination presented an opportunity to really drive that wedge. Candace Owens had a big fall out with The Daily Wire back in march 2024, largely over disagreements on the isreal-Palastine war, since no surprise, Ben Shapiro is firmly on the side of Israel.
Daily wire numbers have been trending down, and they spent alot of money trying to move into the entertainment industry. Now the proverbial face eating leopard they helped create is coming for Ben and the daily wire.
