Libertarian Conference Boots White Nationalist Nick Fuentes From Appearing
Nick Fuentes is one of the better-known White Supremacists in the country. He has been connected to Republican lawmakers like Steve King and Paul Gosar.
Fuentes frequently appears at conferences around the country. He was slated to show his film on cancel culture at the Libertarian event, Freedom Fest. Once the organizers realized who he was, though, they disinvited him.
The White Nationalist was scheduled to speak alongside former Republican now Libertertian Justin Amash and former Democratic nomination hopeful Andrew Yang.
The Executive Director of Freedom Fest, Valerie Durham explained, “FreedomFest strongly believes in the fundamental right to free speech and free expression in our nation’s civil discourse. However, we also reserve the right not to endorse certain points of view that lead our nation away from such discourse.”
Durham continued, “During this time, we were approached by several leaders we respect who gave us further information. Upon learning this information, we took a deeper look into Mr. Fuentes’ ideology. As a result of that further research, we decided to remove Mr. Fuentes as a panelist.”
