Piers Morgan slams Nick Fuentes for calling Hitler ‘f—king cool’

Piers Morgan confronted Nick Fuentes over his racist, antisemitic, and misogynistic views in a tense interview on Monday, including a heated exchange over Fuentes’ claim that Adolf Hitler was “f—king cool.”

During the much-anticipated Piers Morgan Uncensored episode, Morgan pressed the 27-year-old white nationalist on his most controversial statements, highlighting a past clip in which Fuentes praised the Nazi leader. Morgan’s approach was notably more aggressive than the softer interview Fuentes received from Fox News host Tucker Carlson, which had drawn criticism.

When asked if he regretted the comment, Fuentes refused and mocked “boomers” and descendants of Holocaust victims for being offended. “He was cool. I’m tired of pretending he’s not… The thing with my generation is that we’re done with the pearl-clutching,” Fuentes said.

Fuentes, who has repeatedly praised Hitler and denied the Holocaust, further claimed that Morgan’s criticism of him was overblown. “What a crock of s—t!” Morgan shot back, suggesting Fuentes was making provocative statements for attention and profit.

In the interview, Fuentes also called disgraced rapper Kanye West—who has faced antisemitism accusations—one of his “heroes,” while simultaneously asserting he is not antisemitic himself. He openly admitted to being a racist, advocating for white people to avoid black people and claiming that at least 20% of African Americans should be imprisoned.

The conversation turned personal when Morgan brought up Fuentes’ father. He quoted an episode of Fuentes’ podcast in which Fuentes said his father avoided certain restaurants because they were associated with African Americans. Fuentes became defensive, insisting the anecdote was “in jest” and that his parents are not racist.

The interview also explored Fuentes’ views on women. He claimed women should not have equal rights to men and suggested the Catholic Church would agree that women should not vote. Morgan, also a Catholic, strongly disagreed, labeling Fuentes’ views “misogynistic” and criticizing him for holding deeply regressive beliefs.

“I think that when a 27-year-old guy who has never had a meaningful relationship with a woman says women shouldn’t vote, that they should stay at home, and that all they do is fantasize about being abused… that’s misogyny,” Morgan said.

Throughout the discussion, Fuentes frequently laughed at and mocked Morgan and his family for expressing outrage or sympathy toward the groups Fuentes attacked.
