Elon Musk’s Twitter reinstated avowed Neo-Nazi and white nationalist Nick Fuentes on Tuesday.
Twitter banned Fuentes in December of 2021 for violating rules against hate speech and had a new account re-banned soon after Musk took over Twitter in late October.
“Bottom line up front: Twitter’s policies haven’t changed.
Hateful conduct has no place here. And we’re taking steps to put a stop to an organized effort to make people think we have,” Twitter’s Head of Safety and Integrity Yoel Roth, who has since left the company, said at the time.Fuentes made headlines around the world in late November when he accompanied antisemitic rapper Kanye West, now known as Ye, to a dinner at Mar-a-Lago – attended by former President Donald Trump.
Weeks later, Fuentes accompanied West onto Alex Jones’s InfoWars program where West gleefully declared “I love Hitler” – which even made Jones uncomfortable. Fuentes has regularly praised Hitler in the past as well as denying the Holocaust.
Fuentes came to prominence as the leader of the so-called Groyper Army and holds an annual white nationalist conference, which has been attended by Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) as counter-programming to CPAC. Groypers are a loose network of alt-right figures who are vocal supporters of white nationalist ideals, often trolling mainstream conservative events to try and move conservativism more toward white nationalism.
Fuentes supports “the closure of the U.S. borders to immigrants while opposing “liberal” values such as feminism and LGBTQ+ rights. Fuentes views these societal changes as the “bastardized Jewish subversion of the American creed,” according to the ADL.
Twitter has reinstated other white nationalists, antisemites, and conspiracy theorists in recent months including Andrew Anglin, Baked Alaska, Sean Turnbull, Kanye West, and Ali Alexander.
Right Wing Watch shared some of Fuentes’s most recent abhorrent statements upon news breaking that Fuentes would again find a platform on Twitter.
Included in those clips is Fuentes calling for Jews to “get the fuck out America” and calling for women to be burned at the stake for witchcraft.
Fuentes was banned from Twitter in July 2021 for “repeated violations” of its rules. He’s been banned from almost every mainstream social media platform.

Bulls Urged to Dump Their Most Expendable Player
Getty Will theB ulls part ways with Coby White?
The Chicago Bulls are plodding through the second half of a disappointing season, and questions about whether or not vice president Arturas Karnisovas will blow the roster up are running rampant.
The Bulls are currently in 11th place in the Eastern Conference with a 23-26 record, and they haven’t been able to muster a solid run all season. Chicago hasn’t won more than three games in a row all year, it has continually lost games it should have won due to inconsistent play and baffling errors. After making the playoffs last year for the first time since the 2016-17 season, fans and analysts alike are encouraging the team to blow it all up. Again.

With the NBA’s trade deadline looming on February 9, the Bulls have an opportunity to make multiple splash moves. Even if they don’t do anything major, Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report made a list of one player each NBA team should “dump,” ASAP, and for the Bulls, he chose fourth-year guard Coby White.
Is Coby White Bulls’ Most Expendable Player?The Bulls selected White in the first round out of North Carolina at No. 7 overall, and after three years of inconsistent play, the team moved him from starter to reserve — a role he has performed fairly well in.
Still, Buckley thinks White is the team’s “most expendable player,” and is urging Chicago to ship him off.
“What’s the direction that would make keeping Coby White, who has generally disappointed since arriving as the No. 7 pick in 2019, a sensible strategy?” Buckley wondered. “If the Bulls wind up buying or holding—i.e., still trying to compete—why would they suddenly start leaning on White, who’s averaging career lows in minutes, shots and usage? Conversely, if they lean into a top-to-bottom rebuild, do they want to start that project off by covering the cost of his upcoming restricted free agency.”
Coby White’s Future With Bulls Remains a Question MarkWhite and the Bulls didn’t reach an agreement when the preseason deadline for rookie-scale players to agree on extensions hit last fall, and his future in the Windy City remains in question.
“We love Coby,” Donovan said in October of 2022, per NBC Sports. “I think he can play a role and help us on our team. For Coby, (the expectation is) being multi-dimensional on offense. He doesn’t have to always be a point guard. There are things to his game that in any kind of system or offense he can get into the game. He’s a terrific shooter. He’s a scorer. He can get downhill. He can pass. He can do a lot of good things. Sometimes playing off ball is good for him. Sometimes him being on the ball is good as well.”
White is coming off an 0-5 shooting performance against the Orlando Magic on January 28. It was the fifth scoreless game for White this season, although it was the first in which he played more than 10 minutes. He has scored 14 points over his last three games, one of the worst three-game stretches of the season.
Overall, White is averaging 8.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 21.2 minutes per game. He’s shooting 41.8% from the field and 36.4% from beyond the arc. While he hasn’t been the player the team hoped he would be when it drafted him, it’s arguable whether or not he’s the team’s most expendable player — and we’ll know soon enough how much Karnisovas and company value him.
