Updated: June 30, 2022
In the aftermath of the Supreme Courts overturning of Roe v. Wade, Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist leader and influential figure among the rightmost flank of the Republican Party, told his followers that Jews stood in the way of Catholic Supreme Court Justices who were put on the court to overturn the 1973 decision that guaranteed the right to an abortion in the United States.
Who is Nick Fuentes?
Fuentes, who founded the America First Political Action Committee and the groyper army, a radical fringe group, made the comments on his websites livestream on Friday, according to Right Wing Watch. He added we need a government of Christians and Jewish people can be here, but they cant make our laws.
Extremism trackers like the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center have long classified Fuentes as a hate group leader who advocates antisemitism and Holocaust denial, in addition to racist and nativist ideologies. His YouTube channel was previously banned for hate speech.
Yet several Republican elected officials were featured speakers at Fuentes AFPAC conference in February, including sitting members of Congress Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Paul Gosar of Arizona; Idaho Lieutenant Governor Janice McGeachin; and Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers (who was censured by her state Republican party for her appearance at the conference). When they were confronted with Fuentes views after their conference appearances, all four declined to condemn Fuentes or his organization. Gosar previously hosted a fundraiser with Fuentes.

We have 6 freaking catholics on the supreme court which, in my opinion is 4 too many.
And I was raised catholic. Never took, but still. I would give a months social security if
ever an agnostic (too much to hope for an atheist) was to get on the court. And the
next time limp dick Lindsey asks a candidate what religion they are and how many times they go to church, I wish they would look right into those faded blue eyes and say, "Sir, there is no
religious requirement for this, or any position, and religion and faith is personal to me and
I would rather not have to share it with you." (You little weasel)
I can but dream.

All Christians or just the 'approved' Christians?
