Nicholas Fuentes BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Tucker Carlson, on his August 1 broadcast, launched an unexpectedly personal attack against me, labelling me an “angry gay kid” and a “child,” a smear that found an eager echo in commentary from Candace Owens. Owens, fresh off her recent interview with me—a taping she initially described as going well—claimed that after release of the episode, I contacted her, “screaming and insulting her.” She publicly mused that my intensity was the product of “little boy insecurity,” saying, “he doesn’t know how to have normal relations after being banned everywhere.” Carlson, picking up that thread, doubled down, repeatedly referring to me as a “weird little gay kid in his basement in Chicago,” and insisted I was part of an “organized effort” to discredit Joe Kent, Trump’s newly confirmed head of the National Counterterrorism Center. Notably, while Carlson tied me to a “super PAC” attempting to “bump off” Joe Kent, he clarified he meant an informal campaign, not a legal entity. For the record, these characterizations are not only distorted but transparently personal. I wasted no time firing back online, publicly challenging Carlson to debate me: “If you have the balls to gossip about me and make snarky personal attacks, it’s only right that I should be able to reply.” Social media picked up on our spat quickly, with Instagram personality Tori A. Brooke polling followers on whether Carlson and I should have that long-overdue conversation live.
This dust-up marks yet another point in a longstanding feud with Joe Kent, whose recent ascension to the nation’s top counterterrorism post drew national headlines, with outlets like Oregon Public Broadcasting foregrounding his controversial links to “right-wing extremists” and conspiracy movements. My opposition to Kent—dating back years—became a focal point for Carlson’s claims about an “anti-neocon” witch hunt, despite my transparency about the reasons for my criticisms.
Meanwhile, my name surfaced in political news once again this week: The Spokesman-Review highlighted pro-Trump lawyer Paul Ingrassia’s high-profile nomination to lead the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, noting Ingrassia’s very public history defending and platforming “dissident voices such as Fuentes” and white supremacists in conservative politics. This drew condemnation from watchdog groups and complicated his Senate confirmation prospects, with my presence in the narrative used to underscore the mainstreaming of far-right views in Trump’s Washington. All told, the latest cycle underscores how my name—whether on national television or in the halls of government power—remains a touchstone in the culture wars, drawing outsized focus from both my detractors and defenders. As of now, there are no reports of legal proceedings, business ventures, or significant new public appearances on my part, though my ongoing online presence ensures this chapter is far from closed.

picking up that thread, doubled down, repeatedly referring to me
as a weird little gay kid in his basement in Chicago,
(00:43):
and insisted I was part of an organized effort to
discredit Joe Kent, Trump's newly confirmed head of the National
counter Terrorism Center. Notably, while Carlson tied me to a
super pack attempting to bump off Joe Kent, he clarified
he meant an informal camp, not a legal entity. For
the record, these characterizations are not only distorted but transparently personal.
(01:07):
I wasted no time firing back online publicly challenging Carlson
to debate me. If you have the balls to gossip
about me and make snarky personal attacks, it's only right
that I should be able to reply. Social media picked

despite my transparency about the reasons for my criticism. Meanwhile,
my name surfaced in political news once again. This week.
The Spokesman Review highlighted pro Trump lawyer Paul and Grassia's
high profile nomination to lead the US Office of Special Council,
noting in Grassia's very public history defending and platforming dissident
voices such as Flentiss and White supremacists in conservative politics.
(02:18):
This drew condemnation from watchdog groups and complicated his Senate
confirmation prospects, with my presence in the narrative used to
underscore the mainstreaming of far right views in Trump's Washington.
All told, the latest cycle underscores how my name, whether
