Status: Remarks documented; online reactions unverified. Fuentes's quotes come from his show, as reported by World Israel News. The Groyper-split and hat-video items are online reactions described by X's automated story summary. AFNS has not independently verified them.

A note on the name: "America First" is the name of Fuentes's show and the branding of his movement, including its hats. AFNS uses "America First" in its own tagline, but it has no affiliation with Fuentes or his movement.

Fuentes on Israel's election

On his Wednesday show, Fuentes reacted to Israel's election, where Likud led the count but neither bloc reached a majority (World Israel News; America First Ep. 1770). He said:

"Israel held their elections today and it looks like Netanyahu has won." Then: "Congratulations! All right, Jews win again." — Nick Fuentes on his show, as reported by World Israel News

He suggested Netanyahu could end up a "lame duck" caretaker if no coalition forms (World Israel News).

The facts on the count: no one has won. With about 96.1% counted, Netanyahu's bloc has 53 seats, eight short of a majority. See the updated Israel election article.

How he is described: World Israel News describes Fuentes as a Holocaust denier and white nationalist figure. Fuentes has rejected labels like these (World Israel News).

That night, he went live again on Rumble to discuss "the ICE doxing incident and the Saudi-Turkey-Pakistan trip to Iran" (Fuentes on X).

Online reactions: a split over "stay home or vote Democrat"

These are online reactions described by X's automated story summary, not verified reporting.

Fuentes's Oct. 26 message telling followers to "stay home or vote Democrat" has divided his online base, according to X's automated story summary (X story summary). For that post, see Fuentes tells followers to "stay home or vote Democrat".

  • Vote Republican to rebuke him: according to the summary, some self-described Groypers are urging a straight-ticket Republican vote to punish Fuentes. One account calling itself a "Florida groyper" made that case. X lists the account as based in Brazil.
  • The pushback: others argued that hurting their own side does more harm than good, according to the summary.

A clip captioned "'It's not just me, it's us.' - Nick Fuentes" passed about 1.79 million views. Fuentes reposted it with "Fire" emojis (Fuentes on X).

Online reactions: the hat videos

These are online reactions described by X's automated story summary, not verified reporting.

Videos show security approaching people in blue America First hats at recent Republican events, according to X's automated story summary (X story summary). Some online read this as pushing out Fuentes's faction. Others called it routine crowd control.

The Vance rally: at JD Vance's Oct. 26 rally in Belgrade, Montana, a man in an America First hat was not thrown out. State Rep. Braxton Mitchell told Belgrade News the man was a volunteer, and security moved him to a different spot (Belgrade News).

House Votes 211-204 to Refer Hegseth Impeachment to Committee, Shelving Massie's Resolution

The Republican-led House voted 211-204 on Tuesday to refer Rep. Thomas Massie's impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, a procedural step that shelves the effort for this session of Congress, NBC News, NPR, and the House clerk's roll call report. Massie, a Republican from Kentucky who lost his party's primary this year and is leaving Congress, introduced the eight articles and was the only Republican who voted against the referral. President Trump framed the vote as a Democratic effort; Massie, not House Democrats, authored the resolution.
