Yeah, I mean, to your question, no, I don't think so.
I mean, maybe a senator or a member of Congress or something, but really, certainly no one in the administration has come out and just said, you know, as you said, there is no room for this in the party.
I mean, we saw this late last year when Tucker interviewed Nick Fuentes.
I mean, the Heritage Foundation, right?
I mean, sort of a big pillar of the Republican Party.
They tied themselves up and not saying, you know, we still support Tucker after this interview.
We were saying, well, like, really?
this one where he sort of just you know it plays around with nick fuentes oh yeah we still we still like him and obviously that caused a lot of resignations there so i think there's this um it's just sort of a sense of like what no one is standing up to him as you said and i think it's because they recognize that for young republicans you know this kind of racism anti-semitism is a huge thing i mean this is even after charlottesville alex perrine wrote an article that was like
Young people are not being drawn to the party because they want lower taxes or they want tariffs or whatever.
I mean, this is the draw, is the racism, the white nationalism.
Sorry, my cat was just getting out there.
I think that's right.
I mean, I think we're looking at this issue, whether it's Nick Fuentes or Tucker, we're looking at something very similar to Trump originally, where you have this Republican Party that's not willing to stand up at all to this thing.
And there's everyone saying, I don't want to be the one to ruin my career fighting this.
So I'm just going to I hope someone else deals with it.
And now what we're looking at is that, you know, we're looking at really the same thing where
these they don't want to fight the groipers people don't want to stand up to tucker i mean he's obviously very tied to jd vance already so i think this is something that like you know they're just they're not willing to take over and just like with trump it's actually going to cannibalize the party i mean you have you said how many how big is are the groipers i mean certainly within sort of the dc young political operative class
whether these people maybe individually don't like Nick Fuentes, but in terms of their ideas, in terms of the idea that like, yes, we need to restrict immigration, kind of the Stephen Miller thought, like we need a white country.
I mean, I think that's hugely popular.
I mean, these are people who thought, you know, they are, as you said, they voted for Trump at least twice.
