A message sent by a fan on Nick’s show last night. It isn’t 30-40%, but it is happening

They're in the nation's capital, but a small conference room in a hotel is the best the ex-Heritage antisemitism task force could do. The 'exit' sign in the background is telling-- they're standing up, alright; and, it seems, being shown the door

at FRC's DC conference, nodding affirmingly as another speaker outlines a grim End Times scenario where 2/3 of Jews will die, & calls on Jews to convert now. Jewish Zionists have long expected their Christian partners to disavow this stuff. But here Bramnick & Perkins are speaking only to Christians

"What if God wants to move among Jewish people" means, what if Jews find Jesus? He chuckles because he knows it's controversial to say.
Another speaker at today's conference is Tony Perkins, head of Family Research Council. Here he is last fall,

He's applauding the largest Christian Zionist organization, based in Jerusalem, for building relationships with Israelis & advocating for Israel because this makes it easier to 'harvest' Jewish souls
That was in 2013. Here he is this summer

Today the National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism is having a conference in DC about antisemitism on the Right. NTFCA recently left the Heritage Foundation, where they led Project Esther.

On his show last week Nick Fuentes told followers to graffiti ‘Nick Fuentes Was Right About Israel’ all around the country. So far exactly one instance has been reported. I think calling this guy Charlie Kirk’s successor, as Washington Post & other headlines have, is premature

A hasbara group called Honest Reporting got mad that I was honest about Israel on last week's @cbcnews.ca Front Burner podcast about MAGA white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Sorry! And apparently, even when the topic is a neo-Nazi I should focus on condemning the Left?!

I’m sure plenty of Zionists hoped Trump would go the Mark Levin route, but they were fooling themselves. This is exactly how Trump has always played footsie with the radical Right since David Duke in 2016– claim not to know, avoid disavowing etc. Another win for the groypers

Full thread from one hour ago. Christian nationalists picked this reflex up from Owens, Carlson & Fuentes in the last 2 years (remember the ‘Christ is King’ debates?). This kind of antisemitism is increasingly normalized on the Right and can fly under the radar, because Christian references are so

In which the Vice President lashes out at a critic by subtly underlining her Jewishness, marking her as external to the community of the good.
The critic was pointing out that Tucker Carlson's son is on his staff; in response, he seamlessly adopts Carlson's antisemitic tactics

"MAGA is dead"-- founder & chairman of the College Republicans of America, a national group founded only a few years ago to challenge the GOP campus establishment & which already claims over 280 chapters nationwide. In 2023 I showed many of its early leaders were groypers -->

It seems a few Leftists are now discovering for the first time that the radical Right is also anti-establishment, and so if you squint at a few of its positions, from a tiny angle, they can kinda sound like our own. Don't get too excited! Learn about the 'three-way fight'

My assessment is also that groyper staffers in DC are "a loud minority but not to the double digits." I'd even doubt 5%. Nick himself recently admitted his people aren't in DC- see video below. Rod Dreher is conflating 'hard-right' with 'groyper'.

some good points. So what's the difference? We should talk about the 'groyperfication' of the GOP as John Ganz puts it, without playing into Fuentes' overinflated image as the singular mastermind & arch-whisperer of the young Right. Don't write articles like this (a few

Two weeks ago Nick Fuentes told Alex Jones "I'm kicked out of the administration- they don't want any of my guys in there"
Don't take Rod Dreher's estimate that '30-40% of GOP Hill staffers are groypers' at face value.

The ADL is terrified that the Mamdani administration will continue to demonstrate that a genuine, tangible commitment to the well-being of Jews in America can coexist alongside staunch opposition to the policies of a country on the other side of the planet. It hurts their bottom line

I don’t see how MAGA stabilizes in the short term. From the day Trump walked down the escalator in 2015 it has defined itself alongside this uneasy neocon/paleocon fault line. Now that coalition is over. Each side will fight to the death against the other. These contradictions

As I predicted in @thehill on Friday, the Project Esther coalition is crumbling. This morning a prominent Jewish lawfare advocate resigned from Heritage Foundation’s ‘fighting antisemitism’ task force in the wake of the Kevin Roberts/Tucker Carlson/Nick Fuentes fiasco
