White Supremacist #NickFuentes’s #Twitter Was Reinstated — Then Banned Again

Fuentes’s latest ban comes hours after he shared a post amplifying rapper Kanye West’s antisemitic statements. On Tuesday, Twitter reinstated the account of Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist who has given high praise to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler as recently as last week — only to suspend Fuentes’s profile within 24 hours of its reinstatement. The site has not specified why it suspended Fuentes’s account for a second time, but one of the few tweets Fuentes shared while back on the platform referenced antisemitic remarks from rapper Kanye West in which he vowed to go “death con 3” on Jewish people. (…) Fuentes became more well known after he, rapper Kanye West and former President Donald Trump had dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in November. After Trump was criticized for agreeing to meet with him and West, who also espouses far right, antisemitic viewpoints, he tried to distance himself from Fuentes, saying he didn’t know who the white supremacist was before the dinner took place. (Notably, Trump has not condemned Fuentes after the fact, as he is reportedly worried that doing so would alienate his base of supporters.)
