Nick Fuentes, America’s resident far-right firestarter, found himself squirming under Piers Morgan’s spotlight after taking a racist swipe at Second Lady Usha Vance’s Indian heritage.In one of the podcasts, Fuentes used racist slurs, saying, “Your guy (JD Vance) is literally a fat, gay, race traitor that married a J***.”
During Morgan’s interview, when Fuentes was pressed to explain the racist term he used against Usha, he asked, do “you want the honest answer?” and nonchalantly explains its meaning and then laughs out loud after being called a racist. While explaining the reason behind his terms, the podcaster said, “If you look online at the people that are supporting JD Vance the most, they are racist. They’re racist also, let’s say. And they look at someone like myself, I don’t support JD Vance, and they say, you’re brown, you’re a third worldist. They are gleefully participating in the cruelty, you could say the performative cruelty of the Trump administration. They say, you’re going back. You have 100 days until you’re being deported.”“You’re going in a crystal. And then they tell us to vote for JD Vance. And so all I did on the show is I said, you have basically racist chuds that post memes about Indians all day on Twitter, memes about third worldists and Palestinians even. But then they want to turn around and support a guy who has said on Twitter, how dare you say I’m racist? I have non-white kids and I’m in an interracial marriage. And all I said is that’s I just said. that’s a little ironic. I said that’s hypocritical. And Vance is going to have to explain to all of his supporters who have gassed him up as the real, you know, the real mass deportation candidate. He’s going to have to explain to them what’s going on with that. (1:42) What’s with the contradiction?” he added. After his explanation, Morgan, who seems unhappy with his answer, went on to ask about his accountability over using racist slurs that might several foreigners would have followed it. To which he said, “No, no, I think that’s ridiculous.”This is not the first time that he used racist comment against Usha Vance. Earlier, Fuentes launched his attack on Vance and his family after Vance joined Trump’s re-election campaign last month. Fuentes questioned Vance’s loyalty to white identity, citing his marriage to an Indian woman and the name of their child, Vivek. Not only this, recently, the podcaster mocked the photo featuring JD Vance celebrating Thanksgiving with his Hindu wife Usha’s Indian-origin family.Right-wing commentator Nick Fuentes mocked the Thanksgiving photo in a manner that many netizens deemed ‘racist’ on this year’s Thanksgiving.Pointing at the image, Fuentes mocks its composition, claiming there are “two white people” and “24 Indian or East Asian people” dressed in what he calls “indigenous garb.” He sarcastically challenges viewers to “spot the differences,” using the moment to ridicule the family’s multicultural setting. Fuentes goes on to make a historically warped joke, insisting the first Thanksgiving involved Indigenous Americans, “not real Indians from India., He then takes a crude swipe at a red drink on the table, comparing it to street beverages in India prepared “with flies” and unsanitary handling. Using the photo as political ammunition, Fuentes argues that anyone considering Vance as a leader should simply look at the image, framing it as all they “need to know.”
