"Schwemmer is an avowed and overt supporter of racist antisemitic white nationalist Nick Fuentes. In the clip, Schwemmer says Fuentes's episode called Demographics or Destiny was responsible for waking him up on immigration. Once I was woken up on immigration, I started talking to more people about it within conservatism, and I kind of fell in love with the movement."

He has regularly called for limiting the rights of women, minorities, and the LGBTQ community, while often using alarmingly violent rhetoric."
