Nick Fuentes Says He Was Radicalized on Race' by Listening To Mark Levin

"I was from a 95% white suburb, so the diversity' had not really reached my corner of Chicago yet. Growing up in the suburbs, I was insulated from that. I was listening to Mark Levin's show. This goes to show how normie I was. I listened to him every day. In high school, yes. I was a fan. I loved his show. I liked how he was kind of obnoxious and mean to his callers, vicious, and I liked that. I thought that was funny."

"But I'll never forget one show, he goes live and he says, America is becoming a majority non-white country. Does anybody think that's a good idea? And I was thinking to myself, yeah that actually doesn't sound so good. I didn't even really think that America's becoming majority minority like that. Carlson questioned, So you were radicalized on race by Mark Levin? Yes, replied Fuentes. After Carlson pressed, Are you making that up? Fuentes insisted, That's a real story. He planted the seed, at least."

Nick Fuentes grew up in a 95% white Chicago suburb and felt insulated from diversity. He listened daily to Mark Levin's show in high school and admired Levin's abrasive caller interactions. A broadcast suggesting America would become majority non-white prompted Fuentes to view demographic change negatively and contributed to his racial radicalization. Fuentes transitioned from supporting Ted Cruz and libertarian ideas to backing Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican primary. He later challenged the conservative establishment and targeted figures such as Joe Kent. The shift illustrates the influence of conservative media personalities on political realignment among young listeners.
