Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) sparked a heated debate this week when he announced he would push a resolution condemning white supremacist Nick Fuentes onto the Senate floor next week.
Critics of the move warned Schumer that he would be “elevating” the vehement misogynist and anti-Semite, giving him a valuable national boost in name recognition.
Schumer announced the move Thursday, writing, “NEWS: I am leading a resolution in the Senate to reject Nick Fuentes and his white supremacist views. Antisemitism and white supremacy have growing and disturbing currency within the right. We all must condemn antisemitism and white supremacy wherever and whenever it occurs.”
Schumer also blasted President Donald Trump for refusing to condemn Fuentes, whom he had dined with in 2023, earlier in the week.
“The President of the United States DECLINED to condemn Nick Fuentes’s hateful views and defended Tucker Carlson’s decision to give Fuentes a platform. Donald Trump’s refusal to condemn Nick Fuentes’s ideology confirms that white supremacy and antisemitism have deep roots within the Republican Party,” Schumer wrote on Thursday.
While many defended Schumer’s resolution as a way to force Senate Republicans to go on the record regarding Fuentes’s long history of open bigotry and calls for violence, critics also accused him of being short-sighted.
