Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes branded MAGA a cult and declared that “liberals are right” in a rant Saturday.
The infamous Holocaust denier and admirer of Adolf Hitler — who caused outrage in late 2022 when he was invited to a dinner at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, along with rapper Kanye West — spoke out after seeing reaction to the “garbage” gaffe made by President Joe Biden this week.
MAGA followers had jumped on their interpretation of Biden’s comment, meant as a condemnation of a right-wing comedian calling Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage” at a Trump rally.
Trump’s followers claimed he was saying they were garbage.
“At the Trump rallies, they’re yelling trash for Trump, trash for Trump,” Fuentes said, as reported by the Daily Beast.
“And I saw other people. I saw white guys. I saw Hispanic guys, Hispanic guys inside trash cans jumping out of them with Trump signs, white guys with garbage bags that say trash for Trump.”
“That was the moment when I realized Trumpism was a cult. That was the moment when I realized liberals are right. That was the moment when I realized it had gone too far. It is Frankenstein’s monster. We have created a golem. It is a problem.”
Fuentes, once a hugely outspoken Trump fan, has recently been more critical.
“You know, for years, liberals said it’s a cult. You’re in a cult. And I said, well you’re going to jail. It is a cult, and we’re in it, and you are going to jail: that’s how I felt about it for the past eight years,” he said.
“But then I saw them dressing up as trash, like uncritically, just dressing up as garbage, and saying, ‘We’re garbage. Yeah, we’re garbage.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I think we have a problem.’”
He also criticized Trump’s off-message speeches at his rallies.
“Trump goes up and gives these ridiculous rallies, rambling for hours, talking about Hannibal Lecter and other stuff,” he said.
“Then he defends it and says he’s weaving. People go, ‘This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.’ Like, no, it isn’t. These are not like the Trump rallies from the beginning.”
