"That topic is the fragmentation of the political right, began Shapiro. That fragmentation is being caused purposefully by a splinter faction of people led by a young man named Nick Fuentes. They call themselves the Groypers. They are white supremacists. They hate women, Jews, Hindus, many types of Christians, brown people of a wide variety of backgrounds, Blacks, America's foreign policy, and America's constitution. They admire Hitler and Stalin."
"And that splinter faction is now being facilitated and normalized 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."
"Shapiro went on to play a number of the heinous comments made by Fuentes over the years, giving viewers just a brief glimpse into the twisted mind of Nick Fuentes, as well as to torch Carlson for rhetorically fluffing him. Tucker Carlson acts as an ideological launderer for other people's evils. Tucker Carlson says many inflammatory things, always buying back just enough of it to appear as though he's not saying what he's clearly saying."
The political right is experiencing purposeful fragmentation driven by a splinter faction led by Nick Fuentes called the Groypers. The Groypers promote white supremacism and hostility toward women, Jews, Hindus, many Christians, people of color, U.S. foreign policy, and the Constitution, and they admire Hitler and Stalin. Tucker Carlson is depicted as normalizing and laundering these extremist views into mainstream Republican discourse. The Heritage Foundation's response intensified intra-GOP infighting after Carlson's friendly interview of Fuentes. Selected Fuentes comments were played to demonstrate his extremism while Carlson was criticized for rhetorically cushioning and legitimizing those views.
