Friend,

Every once in a while, someone emerges from the Far Right who isn’t just
another extremist voice – but a warning sign. Nick Fuentes is one of those
people. He praises Hitler. He calls for violence against women, LGBTQ+
people, and non-Christians. He dreams of a fascist United States ruled by
white nationalists. And instead of being pushed to the fringes, he’s been
getting invited onto major conservative platforms and even into Donald
Trump’s inner circle.

Through all of this, People For’s Right Wing Watch has been sounding the
alarm. We’ve tracked him. We’ve monitored him. We’ve reported on him – for
years. Long before the press caught on, long before politicians started
scrambling to explain their ties to him, Right Wing Watch built the
archive that makes clear exactly who he is.

And that is precisely why Fuentes is lashing out at us now. Our
documentation of his far-right extremism is interfering with his campaign
to rebrand himself by whitewashing his record.

In a recent interview, Fuentes claimed we ran a “smear campaign” to make
him “seem hateful.” But his public reputation as a hateful bigot does not
come from rumor or distortion. It comes from his own broadcasts – hours of
footage of him praising dictators, using slurs, mocking Jewish people,
calling for executions, and outlining an authoritarian Christian
nationalist movement. We didn’t invent any of it. We documented it.

If you need more proof of why this work matters, just look back to 2022.
Over Thanksgiving weekend, Donald Trump dined at Mar-a-Lago with Kanye
West and Nick Fuentes – a meeting that shocked the nation once people
understood who Fuentes really was.

And how did they understand it?

Because they turned to Right Wing Watch.

We had already reported that Fuentes was traveling with Ye that day. We
immediately resurfaced years of footage from our archive showing the
reality behind his public persona – the racism, the antisemitism, the
misogyny, the authoritarianism. Within days, more than 100 media outlets
cited our work. Our reporting helped the country grasp the full
implications of Trump choosing to sit down for dinner with a white
nationalist.

Rachel Maddow said it bluntly that week on her show: Right Wing Watch is
“a fire alarm system for the whole country” and People For the American
Way provides a “great public service.”

That wasn’t an exaggeration. That’s the role our monitoring plays in
moments of national importance. This is one of those moments. Fuentes is
using friendly right-wing media outlets to boost his influence and infect
the entire conservative movement with his dangerous ideology.

[ [link removed] ]Support that impact. Chip in now to help Right Wing Watch keep exposing
extremists who want to shape the future of the United States. >>

Which brings us back to Fuentes’s latest attacks.

He isn’t angry because we lied about him. He’s angry because we’ve told
the truth – consistently, accurately, and with evidence. He’s angry
because documenting his own words makes it harder for him to rebrand
himself, harder for politicians to quietly align with him, and harder for
his ideology to seep into the mainstream without scrutiny.

His outrage is a measure of our effectiveness.

Because the truth is this: Nick Fuentes has the reputation he has because
he earned it – in public, on video, day after day. We simply refused to
let the country look away.

Right Wing Watch will keep doing what we’ve done for years: tracking
extremists, exposing their influence, and shining a light on dangerous
ideas before they become dangerous policies. But we can only do that with
supporters who believe in this mission.

independent, and unflinching. >>

Thank you for being part of this work. The truth matters – and together,
we’re making sure it’s heard.

Thank you,

The entire team at Right Wing Watch and People For the American Way
