White Nationalist Suggests Killing Legislators Who Certified Biden's Win—Then Backtracks Instantly

White Nationalist Suggests Killing Legislators Who Certified Biden's Win—Then Backtracks Instantly

A white nationalist internet star named Nicholas Fuentes recently suggested killing state legislators who planned to certify Joe Biden's presidential victory, the Daily Dot has reported.

Fuentes, who first rose to prominence as a Youtuber before his channel was terminated "due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy prohibiting hate speech," made the comment while broadcasting on DLive, a live streaming platform where he peddles his views to all his followers, a loose band of internet fans that he has dubbed his "Groyper Army".


"Why, because we had no leverage, what are we going to do? What can you and I do to a state legislator, besides kill them?"

Immediately after suggesting that violence was the only true recourse to motivate the behavior of government officials, Fuentes walked back the comment.

And then, after backtracking, he flip flopped again, again suggesting that violence was the only possible means of leverage.

"Although we should not do that. I am not advising that, but I mean, what else can you do, right?"

Fuentes' alarming comment was first flagged and tweeted by Megan Squire, who, as Daily Dot confirmed, is a professor at Elon University studying extremism.

Squire made sure to note that Fuentes, along with other white nationalists who broadcast on DLive, made money during the broadcast.

Fuentes' comment came amid a broad effort to deligitimize Biden's victory.

Although Donald Trump has lost 59 legal attempts to change the results of the Presidential Election that he lost, he and his supporters have continued to make a fuss for about two months.

From the recent "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington, DC to Trump's already infamous phone call to Georgia's Secretary of State, Trump and his base are clearly leaving no stone un-turned as they scour for any possible means to overturn Joe Biden's victory—which the Electoral College has already formally certified.

Twitter users were outraged and horrified by Fuentes' comments.



One person even broke out DLive's official code of conduct, which they felt Fuentes had clearly violated.

On January 20, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the next President of the United States. We can expect many more broadcasts and polemics from the Trump base until that time—and probably afterwards too.

Coca-Cola Blasted After Honoring Trump With Personalized Diet Coke Bottle For His Inauguration

The Coca-Cola company was widely criticized after James Quincey, its Chairman and CEO, presented President-elect Donald Trump with a Diet Coke bottle commemorating his upcoming inauguration.

The label on the bottle displayed Trump’s name, the date of his anticipated second inauguration, and an image of the White House. Trump is known to be a big fan of Diet Coke—he reportedly drinks 12 bottles per day—and he had an Oval Office button that aided in the delivery of the soda during his first presidency.

Nikki Haley's Endorsement Of Trump Comes Back To Haunt Her After Trump's Latest 'Birdbrain' Insult

Failed 2024 GOP hopeful Nikki Haley's endorsement of President-elect Donald Trump came back to haunt her after Trump posted on Truth Social that he no longer wants recommendations of people who worked for his enemies, including "Birdbrain" Nikki Haley, who previously served as the United Nations Ambassador during the first Trump administration.

Haley, once Trump's primary rival on the campaign trail, gave him her "strong endorsement" during a speech at the Republican National Convention over the summer, ending months of speculation about whether she would support her former opponent.
