::::How is, for example, comparing the Holocaust to baking cookies merely an "edgy, provocative sense of humor"? Sounds like you're either a subversive infiltrator or an actual shill for bigotry.

:::::From The Hill:
"In an interview with The Hill, Fuentes insisted that he is not racist, anti-Semitic or a white nationalist. '''Fuentes said he believes that the Holocaust did take place and that the “cookies” bit was said for shock value.'''
“I’ve never advocated for a white ethno-state,” Fuentes said. “Multiracialism is here and we have to live with it and [the question is] how will we do that?”
Fuentes said that in hindsight, he probably would not have gone to the Charlottesville rally if he had known it would be co-opted by David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, and Richard Spencer, a white supremacist and neo-Nazi.
'''He said that some of his remarks are meant as outrage trolling to draw attention to his show or as over-the-top digs at political rivals aimed at getting under their skin.'''
“That’s kind of the whole thing,” he said. “We have figured out the game. The algorithm. We’ve hacked the conversation where if you say sensational things like we do, you get attention. I don’t want it to be like that. I wish I could ascend with ideas.”
He's only like that because he knows it pisses people off, more people pissed off = more people paying attention, more attention = more people looking into the movement.
Also, Nick says that Biden gave one good speech, and all of a sudden, he's a Biden supporter? That's some leftist-esque thinking right there. [[User:Vince Did 7-14|Vince Did 7-14]] ([[User talk:Vince Did 7-14|talk]]) 10:56, November 7, 2021 (EST)

I skimmed the article and at first glance it appears to represent him correctly. I don't know much about Mr. Fuentes. I blew him off after it appeared he was anti-Semitic and a racist. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 01:22, November 7, 2021 (EDT)

::RICHARD Spencer, not Robert Spencer. But yeah, it's not a very accurate article. My version was way less biased and way more informative imo.[[User:Vince Did 7-14|Vince Did 7-14]] ([[User talk:Vince Did 7-14|talk]]) 10:56, November 7, 2021 (EST)
