Nick Fuentes Tells Piers Morgan: "Hitler was Very Cool" | WATCH

In a heated interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored that aired yesterday (Tuesday), far-right commentator Nick Fuentes made a series of inflammatory statements about Jews, historical antagonisms, and the Holocaust, drawing sharp rebukes from host Piers Morgan.

Fuentes, known for his white nationalist views and previous associations with figures like Kanye West and Donald Trump Jr., defended his positions while downplaying or questioning established historical facts, often framing his rhetoric as a rejection of "political correctness.

On "World Jewry" and Historical Antagonism

Fuentes articulated a deep-seated opposition to what he termed "world jewelry" (a apparent misspelling or transcription error for "Jewry"), describing it as a "transnational nation" with shared interests across borders. He claimed this opposition is "rooted in absolute uncontestable fact," citing theological, historical, racial, cultural, and political conflicts between Jews and Christians/Europeans. "We have the truth on our side," he said, arguing that "organized jewelry" has been antagonistic toward Christians and Europeans for centuries.

When pressed by Morgan on how this squares with his assertion that he doesn't "hate any Jews," Fuentes clarified that he views Jews as "funny," "smart," and "remarkable," even referencing Catholic doctrine that calls them a "witness people" deserving protection. However, he insisted on a "natural opposition" due to differing beliefs about the Messiah and historical persecutions, which he said bred "paranoia" and "chauvinism" among Jews.

He emphasized that as "peoples" or "nations," Jews and Christians "have never been friends. Ever," pointing to biblical conflicts, the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, and even U.S. history where he accused "communist Jews" of architecting communism and civil rights laws that "dispossess white Christians." Morgan challenged this, noting his own Jewish friends and Fuentes' admission of having "many" Jewish friends, but Fuentes doubled down, distinguishing individual relationships from group-level "historical antagonism."

On the Holocaust: Downplaying, Questioning, and Joking

Fuentes' comments on the Holocaust were particularly provocative, blending denialism, skepticism, and humor in ways that Morgan labeled "extraordinary" and "appalling." He has a history of downplaying the scale of the Nazi genocide, and in the interview, he reiterated doubts about the numbers while claiming openness to the "official narrative."

Questioning the Numbers and Censorship:

Fuentes said he isn't a "World War II historian" but has read "conspiracy theories" and finds the debate "rigorous." He argued that Holocaust denial laws in 17-18 European countries make the topic suspicious, calling it a "religious dogma" in the West. "If the truth is so clear... why do you need to throw people in jail for disagreeing?" he asked, suggesting no other atrocity is treated similarly. He conceded that "every death is a tragedy" and even said the number could be "at least 6 million" or "higher," but emphasized that censorship hinders open debate.

The "Cookies" Analogy as a Joke:

In a clip played by Morgan, Fuentes used a bizarre analogy comparing Holocaust gas chambers to baking cookies: "Takes 1 hour to cook a batch of cookies and you have 15 ovens... How long would it take you to make 6 million? ... The math doesn't seem to add up there." He laughed it off as "funny" and "amusing," insisting it was a joke and questioning if it's "too soon" to jest about the Holocaust. Morgan expressed outrage, calling it inappropriate to joke about such horrors.

Political Weaponization: Fuentes claimed the Holocaust "casts a long shadow because that confers a political benefit upon Jews," serving as a "get out of jail free card" to avoid criticism. He argued it's used to stifle discussions about Jewish influence, tying it to broader narratives of "white genocide" through immigration and liberal policies.

On Hitler: "Really F***ing Cool"

Fuentes' admiration for Adolf Hitler emerged as one of the interview's most shocking moments. In a replayed clip, he said Hitler was "really f****ing cool," praising the Nazis' "uniforms" and "parades" as "fascinating and compelling." He dismissed criticism as "pearl clutching" from an older generation, claiming his peers are "done" with such narratives. "We're not children anymore," he said, framing it as a pushback against propaganda that vilifies Western pride.

Morgan confronted him with a message from journalist Daniel Finkelstein, whose family suffered under Hitler and Stalin (another figure Fuentes has praised).

Fuentes mocked it dismissively: "This old British guy is saying me mom got killed by Hitler... shut up." He insisted "no one is in favor of genocide" but tied his views to resisting narratives that suppress white Christian identity.

Broader Implications and Fuentes' Motivations

Throughout, Fuentes portrayed his statements as "iconoclastic," aimed at challenging taboos and appealing to Generation Z's rejection of historical guilt. He linked Jewish influence to issues like mass migration, claiming whites are being "genocided" while Jews maintain ethnic majorities in Israel. Morgan accused him of performative extremism for "clicks" or money, but Fuentes denied it, noting his deplatforming from banks and social media.

The interview, which has garnered millions of views on YouTube, has amplified criticism of Fuentes as an antisemite and Holocaust denier. Jewish organizations like the Anti-Defamation League have condemned his remarks as dangerous, especially amid rising global antisemitism. Fuentes, however, maintains his views are "winning" because they're "real" and uncensored.
