White nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes called Tucker Carlson a 'true Jew hater' and urged US Vice President JD Vance to condemn him in a video clip shared online on October 20. The roughly one-minute excerpt showed Fuentes accusing the former Fox News host of antisemitism and claiming he had tried to persuade Carlson to change his views during a visit to Maine. The recording date and full context of the remarks could not be independently verified. The excerpt alone did not establish whether Fuentes intended the comments sincerely or sarcastically. The video was posted by the X/Twitter account @ImperiumFirst and subsequently covered by VINnews. In the clip, Fuentes accused Carlson of 'rabid antisemitism' and described him as suffering from 'Israel Derangement Syndrome.' Fuentes claimed he had reached out to Carlson because he wanted to steer him away from hatred of Jews. He portrayed their shared Christianity as a basis for that effort and said it had failed. He then called on Vance to condemn Carlson's 'noxious hatred.' The remarks circulated against a record of antisemitic statements by Fuentes, who has praised Adolf Hitler and promoted Holocaust denial. His October 2025 appearance on Carlson's podcast sparked a dispute among conservatives. Vance has faced repeated questions about how Republicans should respond to antisemitism within their own ranks.
