This is Nick Fuentes, the racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, white nationalist who got invited to dinner with Trump.

@RightWingWatch has been tracking his extremism for a while. Let's roll the tape and let him speak for himself. Here he is, calling for a dictatorship in America because the vast majority don't agree with his dangerous, extremist views.

NOW: We've been informed that if we stay at the White House, we will be arrested - and we likely won't be released immediately.

Hear from the people risking arrest why they're putting their bodies on the line for democracy. #VotingRightsNow I am choosing to do this because of a long tradition of Catholic social justice...it is the least that I can offer, to hopefully inspire the hearts of other Americans to keep fighting for the right to vote, says @sisterquincy from @Faith_Democracy

This morning the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on Lawrence VanDyke's #TrumpJudge nom. We must #StopVanDyke b/c "confirming him to the #NinthCircuit would be a severe blow to the rights of millions." #CourtsMatter pfaw.org/press-releases… We wrote to SJC on Nov 13 to make our #StopVanDyke #CourtsMatter case: "Although nominated to a seat designated for a Nevadan, VanDyke’s connections to the state are sparse. He has been found unqualified by the ABA. He has worked as a culture warrior." bit.ly/StopVanDyke

Steve King’s comments and the resulting outcry (he was not censured) did not come out of thin air. He has a long history of spewing hatred and bile as a U.S. representative.

Thread below👇

Research by @RightWingWatch We called for Steve King's censure in November 2018 after he told the The New York Times that he didn’t understand why the terms “white nationalist” and “white supremacist” became offensive. That censure never came. bit.ly/2W4CbJ4
