Howard Stern confused by Kanye West teaming-up with white supremacist Nick Fuentes
SiriusXM host Howard Stern started his Monday show by trying to unravel the rapper formerly known as Kanye West bringing right-wing broadcaster Nick Fuentes to meet with former president Donald Trump at Mar-a-lago.
According to Stern, he’d never heard of Nick Fuentes until “Trump made him famous” by hosting him in his Florida estate Tuesday.
“Since when does a guy name Fuentes become a white ‘supremist’?” Stern wondered.
Fuentes, a Holocaust skeptic who also disparages Black people on his streaming program, has a Mexican-American father, according to Axios. He is reportedly part of a “small but increasingly visible number” of Hispanics who either identify as white, believe disinformation or hold negative views toward Blacks and Jews.
Fuentes’ bonafides was one of many things about last week’s meeting Stern struggled to unpack Monday.

“What is Kanye West, a black man, doing with [Fuentes],” he asked. “What kind of white supremist is hanging around with a Black guy? And what kind of self-hating Black man is Kanye West?”

Trump claims he didn’t know who Fuentes was, which Stern, who has been a guest at Mar-a-Lago, said he very much doubts. The 68-year-old broadcaster also laughed at the notion a white “supremist” would need a Black man to get him into Trump’s private club.
Stern went on to say that the former president shouldn’t have been meeting with the artist now known as Ye, either.
“The worst person you can meet with right now is Kanye West,” Stern said. “The guy has his own share of antisemitic s–t going on right now. And if you’re a politician, you don’t really want to have that stink on you.”

Ye has reportedly lost more than a billion dollars of his net worth since a string of antisemitic comments that started with an Oct. 8 tweet in which he promised to go “Death con 3 ON Jewish People.”
Fuentes has said “none of it really adds up” in reference to the 6 million Jews killed in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.
