White nationalist Nick Fuentes has caused outrage again after using the N-word and describing Hitler as 'cool' on TV.
Fuentes, a 27-year-old American political commentator and proud far-right white nationalist, is no stranger to controversy.
His America First show promotes Christianity and white supremacy in equal measure, with his platform heavily associated with misogynistic, anti-LGBTQ+ and antisemitic beliefs, including Holocaust denial.

Now, the controversial conservative has made even more provocative and offensive remarks during an interview with British journalist, Piers Morgan, who challenged him on his racially offensive ideologies, historic praise of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and his views about women.
During the segment that aired on Monday (December 8), Fuentes, who called Hitler 'f***ing cool', was asked why he had such admiration for 'the most genocidal monster of the last 150 years'.
“My generation, we’re just done with the pearl clutching,” Fuentes snapped back, and then appeared to smirk as Morgan grilled him on the point.
“He murdered 12 million people,” Morgan said on his show, Piers Morgan Uncensored. “What is very f***ing cool about that?”
Fuentes replied: “The edits. It’s just cool. The uniforms. The parades.
"It’s cool. As a guy, you look at World War Two, and it’s fascinating.”
While he said 'no one is in favor of genocide', Fuentes doubled-down that his views are 'not that deep', while simultaneously claiming Americans have been 'browbeaten' with stories from the Holocaust in what he says is a bid to stop them from being 'too white and too proud and too Christian'.
Fuentes wasn't bothered to be labelled a racist, going on to argue how white people should avoid Black people, even going so far as to bring up a quote from his so-called 'hero', antisemitic rapper, Kanye West, which included him saying the N-word.
As for his views on women, he said the opposite sex should not have equal rights and claimed the Catholic Church would support refusing them the right to vote.
While claiming he is attracted to women, he added: "I will say that women are very difficult to be around."
The discussion didn't stop there either as Morgan took to X, formerly Twitter, to say Fuentes 'literally admitted he's a racist'.
"I didn't have to 'gotcha' him - he's proud of it," the host wrote in response to criticism about his interview.
The fiery interview comes as Fuentes, born in Illinois, dropped out of Boston University due to backlash of his association with a Unite the Right rally in Virginia.
Since launching his episodic livestream in 2017, Fuentes has shot to notoriety in far-right circles, going on to gain followers who call themselves 'Groypers' and who 'troll' his rivals.
In the so-called 'Groyper War', Fuertes and his followers targeted Turning Point USA and its late founder, Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September this year, with provocative questions about immigration and Israel.
Fuentes also allegedly was involved in the January 6 capitol riot, though never charged with any crimes, and even attended a dinner at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence with West in November 2022.
However, in 2024, he orchestrated 'Groyper War 2' against Trump's presidential campaign and stands as a vocal critic against the Republican POTUS.
In March this year, in an episode of America First, he said: "Jews are running society, women need to shut the f*** up, Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part, and we would live in paradise.
"White men need to run the household, they need to run the country, they need to run the companies. They just need to run everything, it's that simple," to which New York Times reporter Michelle Goldberg wrote was a summary of his views in a nutshell.
Fuentes has also been banned from pretty much every social media platform imaginable as well as e-commerce providers due to violations on hate speech.
When his X account was briefly reinstated, he was banned again within 24 hours after posting praise for Hitler, the terrorist known as the Unabomber and for declaring 'Jews run the news'.
Elon Musk later went on to reinstate Fuentes' account on the grounds of free speech, despite stating he disagrees with the statements.
