Far-Right Pundit Nick Fuentes Calls Trump 'Fat' and 'Stupid' in Public Rant Over Epstein Files

Far-right political pundit Nick Fuentes recently launched a scathing and highly personal attack on former President Donald Trump during a livestream, labeling him "fat" and "stupid." The intense outburst, widely described as an "embarrassing meltdown" and a "stuttering, spit-flying trainwreck you can’t unsee," by political pundit Ian Miles Cheong, stems from Trump's perceived inaction and silence regarding the recent release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Fuentes, a prominent figure in the "America First" movement, expressed profound frustration with Trump's handling of the Epstein files, accusing the former president of being part of a broader "scam." In a clip that has garnered significant attention, Fuentes declared, > "You suck. You are fat. You are a joke. You are stupid." This public denunciation represents a notable fracturing within a segment of Trump's far-right base, which has largely remained loyal despite previous criticisms. The Daily Beast reported on the "heated remark," noting it reflects a "fracturing of the president’s base."

Known for promoting white supremacist, antisemitic, homophobic, and misogynistic views, Fuentes has a well-documented history of controversial public displays and inflammatory rhetoric. Just prior to this latest incident targeting Trump, he was seen in another widely circulated video delivering a "passion-filled rant" that included derogatory comments about Black people, further cementing his reputation for extremist narratives.

Fuentes' past controversies include his participation in the 2017 Charlottesville white supremacist rally and his presence near the U.S. Capitol during the January 6, 2021 events. He has also gained notoriety for organizing the annual America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), which attracts other far-right figures and has frequently faced cancellations by venues due to the hateful nature of the group's agenda and the potential for violence.

The recent verbal assault on Trump highlights a growing disillusionment among some of the former president's most ardent supporters, particularly those who adhere to more extreme and conspiratorial ideologies. This public challenge to Trump's authority suggests that even within the far-right, figures like Fuentes are willing to break ranks when key issues, such as the Epstein scandal, fail to align with their expectations. This development could signal new and unpredictable dynamics within the conservative political landscape as the 2024 election cycle approaches.
