Ben Shapiro Critiques Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson
On Monday, Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire dedicated his entire show to a sharp critique of Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson.
Focus on Political Right Fragmentation
Shapiro began by addressing what he sees as the most pressing issue in the country—the fragmentation within the political right.
“Hey folks, I want to do something different on today’s show. We’re going to cover one topic in depth. That topic is, I think, the most important thing happening in the country. It was a hot topic last week, but I wanted to take some time to really gather my thoughts and speak on it in coherent fashion, wholistic fashion. That topic is the fragmentation of the political right.”
Accusations Against Nick Fuentes and His Movement
Shapiro claimed this fragmentation is intentionally caused by a splinter group led by Nick Fuentes, known as the Groypers.
- They allegedly harbor hatred towards women, Jews, Hindus, various Christian groups, and people of diverse racial backgrounds including Black and Brown communities.
- They oppose America’s foreign policy and Constitution.
- They reportedly admire leaders like Hitler and Stalin.
Tucker Carlson’s Role in Normalization
Shapiro implicates Tucker Carlson as the key figure facilitating the normalization of this faction within the mainstream Republican Party.
“The main agent in that normalization is Tucker Carlson, who is an intellectual coward, a dishonest interlocutor, and a terrible friend. And Tucker Carlson last week was aided, abetted, celebrated for normalizing Nazism within the Republican Party by the mainstay organization of the traditional right, the Heritage Foundation.”
Summary
Ben Shapiro harshly condemns Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson for promoting extremist views and deepening divisions within the political right.
