A far-right figure once embraced by MAGA is now urging his followers to abandon President Donald Trump—and even to vote Democrat.
Far-right podcaster Nick Fuentes lashed out at Trump for his "soldiers are gonna die" statement, which is what he claimed the president said. He also said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has all the powers of America.
"Like Trump said on Friday, soldiers are gonna die. Okay, but who are they dying for? Who's telling them to die for what? Who? Whose decision is that? Is it the president elected by the people of the United States of America? Is it the chief executive of our constitutional representative democratic government? Or is it the prime minister of Israel? And what gives him the ability or the right or the authority to do that?" Fuentes said.
"Well, obviously, Netanyahu's authority proceeds from the fact that our country is run by organized Jewry. Jews have all the power in America. They are the gatekeepers, they are the middlemen. They have so much financial leverage, so much political leverage that they cannot be opposed. Look at the media entity that was just created," he added.
The podcaster also said that US furnish Israelis with F35s, tolerate their nuclear program, protect them in the international community from condemnation in the Security Council, from sanctions from European countries, and yet they seem to be able to act alone.
"Israelis come to the White House and tell our president, hey, this is the way it's gonna be. We're going in with you or without you. With you or without you. Who's the boss here? Who's in control of this relationship? Who is the superpower? Trump or Netanyahu? And, of course, we all know that Israel is the boss. Israel controls our country now. Now you know it for a fact," he said.
He also asked people to not vote for Republicans in the midterms.
“What does this administration do, other than cover up the Epstein files, embezzle money through government contracts, and bring us to war for Israel,” Fuentes, who has a history of being accused of antisemitism, went on. This administration needs to be shut down immediately. Do not vote in the midterms, and if you do, vote for Democrats, f--- this," Fuentes said.
