Senate Democrats Drop Hammer on Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson in Rare Unanimous Move
Senate Democrats unite in a rare show of total unanimity to condemn white nationalist Nick Fuentes and rebuke Tucker Carlson for giving him an unchallenged platform, deepening a fierce partisan clash as Republicans refuse to sign on.
In an extraordinary display of party unity, every single Senate Democrat has now co-sponsored a blistering resolution that formally condemns white nationalist Nick Fuentes for his openly antisemitic statements and slams Tucker Carlson for “platforming and mainstreaming” him in an October podcast interview that still has Washington reeling.
Introduced Tuesday by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the non-binding measure lists Fuentes’ greatest hits of bigotry in clinical, point-by-point detail:
The resolution then turns directly to Carlson:
“Condemns the effort by Tucker Carlson to platform and mainstream Nick Fuentes… and notes that Mr. Carlson did not push back on or reject the claims made by Mr. Fuentes and at times even validated his framing.”
As of Thursday afternoon, not one Senate Republican has signed on, despite Schumer’s public plea for a bipartisan stand “against hate in all its forms.”Jewish and pro-Israel groups immediately rallied behind the measure.
The Jewish Democratic Majority for Israel, Jewish Democratic Council of America, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Union for Reform Judaism, Hadassah, Jewish Women International, and the National Council of Jewish Women all issued statements praising the resolution and calling on Republicans to join.
The timing is no accident. The Carlson-Fuentes interview, released in October 28, has been credited by analysts with dramatically boosting Fuentes’ visibility just weeks before the December 8 NCRI bombshell report revealed that much of Fuentes’ “organic” surge was driven by foreign bot farms and anonymous amplifier networks. Schumer explicitly referenced both the interview and President Trump’s refusal to condemn it when announcing the resolution last month.
On the Senate floor Tuesday, Schumer was blunt:
“When the former President of the United States refuses to denounce a Holocaust-denying white supremacist who was just given two hours of airtime by one of the most influential voices on the right, silence is not an option.”Republican leadership has remained silent. The Heritage Foundation’s president, Kevin Roberts, called the resolution “a partisan stunt that only elevates Fuentes,” while several conservative commentators on X argued it violates free-speech principles.
The measure is almost certainly doomed in the Republican-controlled Senate, but Democrats are using it as a clear 2026 campaign marker: there is zero daylight inside their caucus when it comes to condemning Nick Fuentes by name, and they are daring the GOP to stand with Tucker Carlson instead.
The full text of the resolution is expected to be posted to the Senate website later today.
