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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
