Right-Wing Podcaster Nick Fuentes Laments Kanye West’s Apology For His Antisemitism

After Kanye West posted an apology for his antisemitic remarks last week, far-right political commentator Nick Fuentes took to his show America First to say he was quite dismayed with the rapper. 

West posted an apology in Hebrew on his Instagram on December 26.

“I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions,” West said. “It was not my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.”

Fuentes, who has made multiple anti-Jewish remarks throughout his career, said he was disappointed with West’s apology. 

“It doesn’t really make a difference. He apologized,” Fuentes said. “It’s so over. It’s a total capitulation! I never thought I’d see it.”

Fuentes was a part of West’s presidential campaign last year. The two famously met with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate, which caused significant controversy.

Fuentes was with him when West infamously said that he “loved Hitler” on Alex Jones’ InfoWars show.

Fuentes has a history of making inflammatory remarks. Beyond his controversies with antisemitism, he has described transgender people and same-sex marriage as “deviancy” and praised the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
