Posthumous Texts Reveal Charlie Kirk Deemed Nick Fuentes "Vermin" in 2025 Exchanges

Conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza recently disclosed private text messages from the late Charlie Kirk, revealing Kirk's strong disapproval of far-right figure Nick Fuentes. The exchanges, confirmed to be from 2025, show Kirk labeling Fuentes as "vermin" and expressing concern that debating him would only amplify his platform. This revelation comes months after Kirk's death in September 2025.

The texts, shared by D'Souza, indicate Kirk's belief that engaging with Fuentes, even to refute his arguments, inadvertently provides him with a larger audience. "Charlie Kirk did NOT approve of Nick Fuentes and rightfully so," stated Shawn Farash, clarifying the 2025 origin of these communications. D'Souza's decision to release the texts coincided with Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Fuentes, suggesting a move to highlight Kirk's consistent stance.

The animosity between Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, and Fuentes, leader of the "Groyper" movement, was well-documented, stemming from the 2019 "Groyper Wars." During this period, Fuentes's followers routinely disrupted TPUSA events, challenging Kirk's conservative credentials and accusing him of being insufficiently "pro-white." Kirk consistently distanced himself and his organization from Fuentes's extreme views.

Fuentes, known for his antisemitic and white nationalist rhetoric, has faced widespread condemnation and deplatforming from various social media platforms. His "Groypers" often targeted Kirk over issues like immigration and LGBTQ+ rights, creating a significant ideological rift within the conservative movement. The recently revealed texts underscore the depth of Kirk's long-standing opposition to Fuentes's ideology.

D'Souza's disclosure of these 2025 texts provides a posthumous confirmation of Kirk's unwavering position against Fuentes, offering insight into the internal divisions on the American right. The timing of the release also serves as a critical commentary on the broader conservative media landscape and the ongoing debate over platforming controversial figures.
