JD Vance thinks Nick Fuentes is an annoying mosquito but isn't our main threat. He also doesn't think you should throw friends like Tucker Carlson under the bus.
Those are wild statements in the waning days of 2025! 😂
Vance gave this interview last Friday at his home before taking off for Christmas vacation. The whole article is a gem, but I'll pull out the Cliffnotes version for you.
Vance addressed the topic that has been tearing the American Right apart over the past few months: How to protect the levers of power it recently won from the greedy trolls that want to hijack the Right for their own agendas.
That fight came to a head several weeks ago when Tucker Carlson interviewed actual white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
Vance started by reminding everyone that Fuentes is a little goblin:
Vance warned conservatives not to make a mountain out of molehill, however. He noted that Fuentes influence may seem large in the comment section of social media, but not among the halls of power in any company, seat of government, or institution in America.
More:
Vance's argument is that the basement-dwelling groyper down the street is bad, but the politicians who have actually used the reins of power to try to crush Americans for the color of their skin or the way they vote are magnitudes of order worse.
An analogy Vance might enjoy would be if Frodo had focused more energy on stopping Gollum than the Dark Lord Sauron and the forces of Mordor.
Vance also decried the push to oust Tucker Carlson from the conservative movement, instead arguing that bonds between friends should not be easily broken.
Do I have disagreements with Tucker Carlson? Sure. I have disagreements with most of my friends, especially those who work in politics ... I'm [also] a very loyal person, and I am not going to get into the business of throwing friends under the bus.
Vance said that the idea that Tucker is "anathema to conservatism" is "frankly absurd."
Finally, the vice president was asked about the debate between "Heritage Americans" (those who believe America belongs to the descendants of Europeans who built what became the country) and "Propositional Americans" (those who believe anyone can become an American if they adopt American ideals).
He struck the middle ground, arguing that it takes generations for immigrants to become truly American, but that it is possible.
Of note, he rooted what it means to be American - at the core - with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Vance ends by warning the Right that tut-tutting Americans who are angry about decades of discrimination and injustice because some of them are listening to solutions presented by weens like Nick Fuentes is the opposite approach they should take. Instead of attacking the groypers, they should be attacking the racist woke people who disenfranchised an entire generation of young white men out of good paying jobs and careers.
That's our vice president's final word to Americans before Christmas. What do ya think?
