Nicholas Joseph Fuentes is a far-right-leaning political commentator popular for his livestreams. His belief system includes such staples as Christian nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-LBGTQ views.

In the latest news about the divisive figure, Nick Fuentes recently appeared as a guest on Piers Morgan Uncensored. The interview with Piers Morgan was made available on December 8 and touched on many topics, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

“And honestly it was devastating. I didn’t like Charlie Kirk at all and we had an intense rivalry and he hated me, but honest to God I was devastated. I was emotionally effected by it. I didn’t even do a show that night because I was beside myself, so it was rough. I mean it was hard to watch.”

This would have shaded in Fuentes’ character with slightly more nuance had he not proceeded to backtrack on his comments about “hating” people only moments later. Elsewhere in the interview, Nick Fuentes' typical rage-bait tactics were on full display.


Nick Fuentes' Piers Morgan Uncensored Appearance

There were several notable moments from Nick Fuentes’ recent appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored that are worthy of discussion. A good starting point would be his response when asked if he considers having grown up in a racist environment, and further, if he feels he had inherited his racism from his father. Prior to framing the question, Morgan clarified that he was basing his inquiry on anecdotes about his family that Fuentes himself had previously shared.

“Well I would say it’s a new low. I, I’ve been attacked for being a racist many times, but to attack my father, to attack my parents based on anecdotes, I would say that’s, that’s sort of a new low”

Clearly, he was unprepared to take any accountability and elected to avoid answering the question on its merit.

Also in the interview, Piers Morgan played an older recording of Fuentes sharing his opinion on how women invite assault on some level from the opposite sex. After showing the clip and asking Nick Fuentes, “You think women want to be raped, do you?”, the right-wing commentator provided a shocking response.

“That’s what the studies show Piers. That is what the statistics say. They have fantasies. They have fantasies about it. I don’t think that they want to actually get r*ped, but there is a study out there, get ready for this, it says 62% of women have rape fantasies. And if you read anything that they’re reading, if you watched what they’re watching. What do you think 50 Shades of Grey is about? What do you think Twilight is about? I mean that’s just true.”

Nick Fuentes' antics were on full display throughout the interview, though it remains to be seen if there will be any tangible fallout from his most recent appearance.
