Nick Fuentes, a far-right political streamer with a long history of racist remarks, clashed sharply with Piers Morgan during a tense episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored. What started as a discussion about Fuentes’ own words quickly turned into an angry exchange about race, family, and responsibility. The moment drew even more attention after Morgan posted a blunt response on social media.The argument began when Morgan asked Fuentes about a story he had shared earlier on his own podcast. In that story, Fuentes said his father avoided restaurants like Applebee’s and Red Lobster because many Black people ate there. Morgan asked if growing up with that thinking meant Fuentes was raised in a racist environment.Fuentes reacted strongly and accused Morgan of attacking his parents. Piers Morgan said the question was fair because the story came from Fuentes himself. After the episode aired, the debate did not stop. Morgan took to X, formerly Twitter, and posted a fiery message defending his approach and calling out Fuentes directly. The interview and Morgan’s post were later reported by Mediaite, keeping the controversy alive across social media.

During the show, Piers Morgan quoted Fuentes’ past words directly. He said, “There was an episode of your podcast where you talked about your father, Bill Fuentes, and how he wouldn’t take the family, including you, to certain restaurants because he believed they were associated with African-Americans.”Morgan then asked, “Do you think you grew up in a racist environment?”Fuentes immediately pushed back. “I would say it’s a new low,” he said. “I’ve been attacked for being a racist many times, but to attack my father?”Morgan stopped him and replied, “Hang on, it’s your anecdote.”When Fuentes said his father was not there to defend himself, Morgan answered, “You are. You told the story.”Fuentes claimed his parents were not racist and talked about their gun-training business, saying many of their clients were Black. He later made negative comments about crime in Chicago and blamed Black communities, which has drawn criticism in the past.After the interview aired, Morgan addressed the backlash on X. He wrote, “The guy literally admitted he’s a racist. I didn’t have to ‘gotcha’ him – he’s proud of it. Maybe you should have asked him about his racism in between all your softballs?”Piers Morgan made it clear he stood by his questions and rejected claims that he treated Fuentes gently. He said the interview was about examining Fuentes’ own words and letting viewers decide.The exchange added to Nick Fuentes’ long record of racist and antisemitic comments.
