In July of 2021, Fuentes was banned from [[Twitter]]. This sparked backlash from many conservatives on social media, including [[mainstream conservative]]s, who took his side despite previously condemning him. This includes [[Ben Shapiro]], whom Fuentes had previously feuded with, and in 2019, tried to confront outside of a Turning Point USA conference in [[Florida]] over a 45-minute speech Shapiro had given about him<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHQDiPcBWEY</ref>. Fuentes received criticism for the confrontation, as Shapiro was with his family. Shapiro used his statement on Fuentes' ban to simultaneously attack Fuentes' views and defend his right to a public platform.
