Right-wing influencer Nick Fuentes mocked his followers after they were interviewed for a CNN segment, the network reported on Friday.
CNN senior correspondent Donie O’Sullivan interviewed two men in Miami named Rich and John, who are Groypers — young, white men who are followers of white supremacist Fuentes.
“These men have come to see themselves in Nick Fuentes,” O’Sullivan said. “His cancellation across social media platforms for his spreading of hate they view as part of a broader attack on men like them.”
John, a 25-year-old Groyper, described what drew him to Fuentes.
“And you look at his audience, they feel like they can relate to him because they’re young men,” John told O’Sullivan. “A lot of them can’t get girlfriends. A lot of them are struggling financially. They’re not going to have the life their parents had. Their grandparents had.”
But after the interview, things changed.
“Soon after I left Miami pictures, John posted of our interview on social media, got Fuentes’ attention and he wasn’t happy. His followers had spoken to CNN,” O’Sullivan said.
Fuentes talked about it.
“How about that CNN thing? Oh my gosh, these like two absolute chuds who look at us. ‘We’re in our Nick Fuentes t-shirt and hat,’” Fuentes said about his followers featured in the interview.
Then Rich and John started getting attacked online.
“In online audio chats, Groypers began to turn on Rich and John,” O’Sullivan said.
And John tried to defend his “Groypers honor” in a 30-minute social media interview.
“I consider myself a Groyper, and I know everyone’s saying I’m not a Groyper and giving me death threats and telling me to kill myself and that they’re going to rape me. And that’s fine. I don’t really care,” John said.
