Committee on the Judiciary:
S. Res. 533
Whereas Nick Fuentes is a white supremacist leader,
organizer, and podcaster;
Whereas Fuentes identifies himself as a ``White
Identitarian, race realist, `Jewish aware', counter-Zionist,
authoritarian'';
Whereas Fuentes is a frequent Holocaust denier and
supporter of Hitler who--
(1) has said on his show that ``Hitler was awesome. Hitler
was right. And the Holocaust didn't happen.'';
(2) described Hitler as having an ``aura'' and being
``really...cool'';
(3) has hosted ``Hitler Friday'';
(4) criticized Polish people for ``this bad habit of hating
Hitler all the time''; and
(5) popularized the phrase ``six million cookies'' to
express doubt about the 6,000,000 Jews killed during the
Holocaust;
Whereas Fuentes expressed support for killing Jews on his
show, saying, ``There is an occult element at the highest
levels of society, and specifically among the Jews...When we
take power, they need to be given the death penalty.'';
Whereas Fuentes used the 2017 ``Unite the Right'' rally in
Charlottesville, Virginia, during which hundreds of torch-
bearing demonstrators chanted ``Jews will not replace us'',
to mainstream his ideology;
Whereas the ``Unite the Right'' rally was followed by a
broader cycle of antisemitic, racist, and xenophobic attacks,
including the 2018 mass shooting at the Tree of Life
synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which was the
deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the history of
the United States;
Whereas Fuentes has repeatedly peddled the white
supremacist ``Great Replacement Theory'', which Fuentes calls
the ``Great Replacement REALITY'', an antisemitic, racist,
and xenophobic conspiracy theory that claims that Jews are
orchestrating the replacement of native white Europeans from
their countries by non-white immigrants;
Whereas, on June 6, 2024, Fuentes posted that ``there are
basically two things that are going on: White genocide and
Jewish subversion'';
Whereas, in March 2023, at a rally in Maryland, Fuentes
declared, ``I love Hitler'', and targeted ``Talmudic Jews'',
which is a white supremacist and antisemitic term for Jewish
people, saying, according to reporting, that ``Talmudic Jews
need to either leave the county or be converted'';
Whereas Fuentes, during his livestream of the inauguration
of President Trump in 2025, said he believes ``Jews are in
the way of the `sovereignty' of the U.S.'' and are the ``most
influential faction in our government'';
Whereas Fuentes has likened ``organized Jewry'' to a
``transnational gang'' and repeatedly uses rhetoric such as
``globalists'' and ``cosmopolitan elites'', which are dog
whistles to classic antisemitic tropes that suggest Jews
secretly control media, finance, and government;
Whereas, in March 2025, Fuentes said on Rumble that ``Jews
are running society, women need to shut the ------ up, Blacks
need to be imprisoned for the most part, and we would live in
paradise, it's that simple.'';
Whereas, in November 2025, Fuentes posted on X, ``No to the
Christ-hating Talmud...No to our Jewish oligarchy.'';
Whereas Fuentes has stated that the Hamas terrorist attacks
against Israel on October 7, 2023, were ``staged'' and denied
acts of rape and the killing of babies by Hamas;
Whereas Fuentes and Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News host,
have a combined 17,800,000 followers on X alone;
Whereas, on October 27, 2025, Carlson hosted Fuentes for a
lengthy interview;
Whereas, during such interview, Fuentes perpetuated
antisemitic conspiracy theories, including--
(1) blaming ``organized Jewry'' for undermining cohesion in
the United States;
(2) telling Carlson that the main obstacle within the
conservative movement was ``these Zionist Jews'';
(3) claiming that neoconservatism is ``Jewish in nature'';
(4) advancing the dual-loyalty trope by saying that Jewish
Americans are loyal first to Israel and that ``they have this
international community across borders, extremely organized,
that is putting the interests of themselves before the
interests of their home country''; and
(5) claiming that he sees ``Jewishness'' as the defining
trait of his political opponents;
Whereas Carlson did not push back on or reject the claims
made by Fuentes during the interview and platformed the views
of Fuentes, at times even validating his framing;
Whereas Carlson spoke on the main stage of the Republican
National Convention in 2024;
Whereas Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts--
(1) filmed a video in response to criticism of Carlson for
his October 27 interview of Fuentes, defending Carlson and
saying that those who opposed Carlson were ``the globalist
class'' and a ``venomous coalition'', terms that are
antisemitic dog whistles; and
(2) defended Fuentes as expressing ideas that are worthy of
debate rather than rejecting the ideas outright;
Whereas Roberts refused to fully retract his video, despite
apologizing for parts of what was said in the video, and has
not taken the video down;
Whereas the Trump administration nominated an individual
who said, ``I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to
time'', and then appointed that individual to another
position after his original nomination was withdrawn
following bipartisan opposition; and
Whereas Executive Order 13899 (84 Fed. Reg. 68779, relating
to combating anti-semitism), Executive Order 14188 (90 Fed.
Reg. 8847, relating to additional measures to combat anti-
semitism), and the United States National Strategy to Counter
Antisemitism affirm the importance of fighting antisemitism
in the United States and around the world: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) strongly rejects the views of and platforming of Nick
Fuentes;
(2) condemns the effort by Tucker Carlson to platform and
mainstream Fuentes;
(3) condemns Nazism, honors the sacrifices of the United
States Armed Forces who gave their lives to defeat the Nazis,
and affirms that Nazi Germany and its collaborators murdered
6,000,000 Jews in the Holocaust;
(4) unequivocally condemns antisemitism and white supremacy
whenever and wherever they occur; and
(5) urges all elected officials, thought leaders, and
community leaders to reject and condemn white supremacy and
antisemitism whenever and wherever they occur.
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, on anti-Semitism, today, in America, we
are witnessing a disturbing and alarming trend. Anti-Semitism and White
supremacy and, indeed, neo-Nazism--just saying the word sends shudders
down one's spine--are increasingly running rampant in our society.
These deeply pernicious forms of hate, spewed by rightwing radicals
like Nick Fuentes and platformed by people like Tucker Carlson, who
almost seem proud to platform them, have pushed America closer to a
tipping point.
Jewish Americans and all those targeted by White nationalist hate are
all too often looking over their shoulders, fearing for their safety.
And too many--too many--in this country are silent against this threat.
On this issue, silence is dangerous. Because silence is dangerous,
today, I am introducing a resolution cosponsored by every single Senate
Democrat--all 47. This resolution rejects Nick Fuentes and his anti-
Semitic and White supremacist views. This resolution condemns Tucker
Carlson for giving Fuentes a platform, and it condemns anti-Semitism,
White supremacy, and Nazism wherever and whenever they strike.
As I introduce this resolution today, I invite my Senate Republican
colleagues to join us in taking a stand against hate by cosponsoring
this resolution. The country wants to see both parties united against
anti-Semitism, so it is not too late for my Republican colleagues to
join my resolution.
This is not a theoretical exercise. Senators speaking out against
White supremacist hatred is vital in today's day and age because there
have been far too many instances lately of anti-Semitism, White
supremacy, and other forms of hatred being welcomed, normalized, and
even endorsed in our society. Who would have thought? When we
[[Page S8532]]
stay silent, when we fail to reject anti-Semitism and White supremacy,
that is when they spread through society like wildfire.
So my resolution gives Senators from both parties a chance to stand
up against anti-Semitism and White supremacy and to send a clear,
unmistakable message that here in America, we reject all and any forms
of hatred and bigotry.
