A 10-second clip was all it took to light up the internet. On Nick Fuentes’ America First show, the far-right activist, known for anti-semitic and extremist remarks, was caught joking about Venezuelan resistance, confidently predicting that US forces would crush the regime and walk away with the world’s largest oil reserves — a moment that landed with a thud across political X. The remarks resurfaced days after Washington confirmed the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Donald Trump declared temporary US control to “stabilise” the country’s oil sector.In the video, he could be heard saying, “You don’t get our oil. Says fucking who? We will come in and we will. We will kill all of you. Our military will come in and wipe out your regime and we’ll take your oil.” For Fuentes, a self-styled anti-war Christian nationalist, the clip triggered a backlash, with critics accusing him of abandoning his own principles even as he tried to hedge, praising oil gains and deportations while warning against another nation-building quagmire.One of the users commented, “Nick Fuentes ADMITS he wants to “kill” for Venezuela’s OIL. Why does Nick pretend to be a Christian while promoting MURDER and STEALING? Nick Fuentes is fully COMPROMISED and works for the ZIONISTS!”Another said, “I feel retarded for ever thinking he was a legit person who was aware the empire meant Zionism.” A user also said, “Lol he says he is a virgin because of he being a devoted Christian who goes by the book but is ok with his military murdering people for a natural resource, clearly he is either gay or an incel, but more importantly a fucking fascist, hypocritical loser.”
