"I do not know Nick Fuentes. I never heard him speak."

GTFO with this nonsense! You're going to speak at his event and embrace him on stage, but now you're gonna pretend you have no idea who he is and what he espouses?!

Just like Trump & so many of them, they say whatever is politically expedient at the moment. And the cult doesn't care. They can say one thing & five seconds later say the exact opposite & the cult will cheer both.

Was she in a soundproof room before she slithered out on stage ? If she said excuse me while I interview her I would say back, no EXCUSE ME do you think we are stupid like your sorry ass supporters ?

She knew full well. Even planned her plea of ignorance beforehand. Just wanted to share the "America First" agenda with them? Like said agenda isn't racist?

Oh, nevermind. A simple internet search will yield thousands of answers to that question.

The Wiki and the references there I've seen focus on covering his White Supremacist crap, but don't give his personal background. Will keep looking.

(These dudes, NARDI and FUENTES, are in their TWENTIES! ). So FUENTES is "a quarter Mexican". He might consider translating his surname to "Fountains" for White Supremacy purposes.

My Strange College Rivalry with an Alt-Righter

By Will Nardi
.... Perhaps the most obviously bizarre thing about his particular case is Nick is a quarter Mexican, although he looks white. I think a lot of his white fans are willing to overlook that because he supports their cause, or maybe it’s a reason for his popularity in an odd way—if a person with a Spanish last name says these things, they can’t be racist, or not racist racist. ....

( NOTE BY UTUSN: These 2 sentences sound like last night's MAHER: ) ... I’d never demonize him as a person. That would only isolate him further, and if there is any hope people like him will return to sanity, we must extend civility and hope they see the error of their ways. ....

The link https://latestinbollywood.com/nick-fuentes-parents-ethnicity/ says that he never discusses his ethnicity, family, that his father is half Mexican.

Thusly, the FUENTES surname is patrilineal. Never discusses, so is he ashamed, self-hating?
