White nationalist Nick Fuentes was removed from the Conservative Political Action Conference over his lengthy history of openly promoting antisemitic and racist rhetoric.
CPAC Chair Matt Schlapp announced Fuentes’ removal in a scathing statement Friday on Twitter, stating that Fuentes’ “hateful racist rhetoric and actions are not consistent with mission of CPAC.” The conference typically features prominent conservatives every year, including presidential contenders and other high-level officials.
Fuentes is a prominent figure among the far-right, known for peddling white supremist ideals and using his platform to openly promote antisemitism.
