Not going to post his comments here because they might break forum rules. You can find them on X just by searching "Nick Fuentes JD Vance" but they were talking about it on the PBD Podcast yesterday.

Essentially, Nick is pointing out that JD is the GOP version of Obama in terms of coming out of nowhere with a "sketchy past" and a meteoric rise. He also harps on the issue of "being forced on Trump by Elon and Tucker",

He says that it's kind of funny that he is being accused of being a gay fed when JD's handler Peter Theil is literally a gay fed.

I guess if you want to think Nick Fuentes has any clue what hes talking about. Have to imagine most would know he doesnt.

I don’t think well-adjusted adults put much stock into what Nick Fuentes says. He’s more of an internet caricature.

I could ask the average person who nick Fuentes is and 95% of them would say no. And of those who do, 4% would know hes a dipshit. So I guess 1% maybe. Max.

Nick Fuentes is completely irrelevant. Hes just a media guy trying to get views.

Nick Fuentes is the definition of a limited hangout meant to sow discord. He offers no solutions, or candidates. Just "this conservative is bad!"

Vance's upbringing and pre-political life is well documented though. I think he was picked to be VP because he is younger and a well refined speaker compared to Orange's persona.

Sketchy past? He wrote a book about his life growing up, and it was made into an acclaimed movie. Huge parts of Obama's adult life are foggy, meanwhile JD owns a DD214, college is well documented, as well as his political career.

You are probably right. Let's see if those numbers creep down.

The only thing I credit NF for is winning the 2024 political memes.

"your body; my choice"

Other than that I don't put much stock into his arguments. He comes across as more interested in winning the argument than acknowledging the truth. Also doesn't his JD "revelation" puts more stock in the argument that he is a spook set up to divide conservatives.

In terms of how and why that was funded and all the name changes. Not saying good or bad, just pointing out the points of contention.

This is 100% verifiably false. JD got on the ticket because of one person - Donald Trump Jr. he lobbied his dad, pushed all his chips to the center of the table for Vance, no one else.


Jr is on the record for this as is Elon during the interviews on election night from Mara Largo.

Unlike Obama, we'll have 4 years to see what he does and believes.

Making a movie about his life could be defined as coming out of nowhere.
