On August 7, 2019, Fuentes got into a feud with Matt Walsh of [[The Daily Wire]] on Twitter, over comments Walsh made in response to the El Paso shooting by a suspected white supremacist, in which Walsh says that "white racist scumbags should be executed". Fuentes expressed disapproval of this statement, saying that it was contributing to anti-white rhetoric, and called Walsh a "Shabbos [[Goy]] race traitor".<ref>[https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/anti-semitic-outburst-cut-from-white-nationalist-nick-fuentes-podcast-on-el-paso-shooting/ ''Anti-Semitic Outburst Cut From White Nationalist Nick Fuentes’ Podcast on El Paso Shooting''] - Right Wing Watch</ref>
On August 7, 2019, Fuentes got into a feud with Matt Walsh of [[The Daily Wire]] on Twitter over comments Walsh made in response to the El Paso shooting by a supposed "far-right extremist". Walsh used the shooting to justify a contribution to racist anti-white rhetoric, saying that "white racist scumbags should be executed". Fuentes expressed disapproval of this statement and called Walsh a "Shabbos [[Goy]] race traitor".<ref>[https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/anti-semitic-outburst-cut-from-white-nationalist-nick-fuentes-podcast-on-el-paso-shooting/ ''Anti-Semitic Outburst Cut From White Nationalist Nick Fuentes’ Podcast on El Paso Shooting''] - Right Wing Watch</ref>

In the fall of 2019, Charlie Kirk launched a "Culture War" speaking tour with Turning Point USA. As a retaliation for the firing of St. Clair, as well as an incident at the 2019 Politicon convention where Fuentes was prohibited by security from entering events featuring Kirk, Fuentes began a social media campaign urging his followers, the Groypers, to go to the events and ask [[trolling|troll]] questions regarding Kirk and TPUSA's liberal stances on immigration, Israel, and [[Homosexual "rights"]] during the Q&A sections. These events became known as the "Groyper Wars".

At one event hosted by Ohio State University on October 29, eleven out of fourteen questions asked were from Groypers. They asked questions such as "Can you prove that our white European ideals will be maintained if the country is no longer made up of white European descendants?" and "How does anal sex help us win the culture war?", the latter referring to Rob Smith<ref>No relation to User:RobSmith, the Conservapedia editor.</ref>, the other speaker at the event and a major contributor to TPUSA, who is a self-proclaimed "[[gay conservative]]". One question was disguised as a lighthearted comment suggesting that everyone Google "dancing Israelis", which actually refers to an unsubstantiated anti-Semitic trope begun by [[ABC News]] about five Israeli men suspected to be [[Mossad]] agents, arrested on [[9/11]] after they were seen filming the attacks nearby and celebrating. It is still unknown whether these men were Israeli intelligence.<ref>[https://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123885&page=1 Were Israelis Detained on Sept. 11 Spies?] - ABC News</ref> Another question mentioned the supposedly "accidental" Israeli attack on the [[USS Liberty]].

Another Turning Point USA event targeted was a promo event for [[Donald Trump Jr.]]'s book, ''Triggered'', featuring himself, Kirk, and his wife Kimberly Guilfoyle at the University of California, Los Angeles, in November of 2019. Anticipating further Groyper questions, they announced that the Q&A portion was cancelled, eliciting heckling and boos from the audience. The overwhelming disruptions eventually forced them to cut the event short and leave after only 30 minutes, when it was originally scheduled to last for two hours.<ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/pro-trump-conservatives-are-getting-trolled-real-life-far-right-n1080986 ''Pro-Trump conservatives are getting trolled in real life by a far-right group''] - [[NBC News]]</ref>
