Far-right conspiracy theorist Nick Fuentes told his followers, known as “groypers,” that if they turn to violence in the wake of the killing of Charlie Kirk, he will “disavow” and “disown’ them, Mediaite reports.

Said Fuentes: “This is a very delicate situation. This is a very delicate situation. I fear that this has set off a chain reaction. I pray to God there is no further violence. I pray to God that nobody else is hurt as a result of this. I hope that it stops here. It should stop here. To all of my followers: if you take up arms, I disavow you. I disown you in the strongest possible terms.”

“Fuentes and his so-called ‘groyper army’ have long been critics of Kirk, infiltrating his events in the past to troll the speakers and try and turn the crowd toward a more extreme, white nationalist version of conservatism.”

Applegrove: an admission of guilt of sorts.

1. As in "Stand back and stand by" or as in "Mission Accomplished" ?

[Walleye]

2. Really, too bad Trump didn't talk like that to the proud boys

[bluedigger]

3. It is a very difficult situation.

If this reflects poorly on my movement, our cash flow could be negatively impacted. Fucking douche.

[sop]

4. Sounds like the Groypers and TPUSA are going to the mattresses.

Maybe Mafia Don can call for a sit-down to avoid further bloodshed?

[AZJonnie]

5. I tend to agree, but regardless, the Groyper Wars playlist on Spotify proofs w/o a doubt that the song Bella Ciao

was by no means the exclusive purview of 'antifa' leftists.

But Fuentes posting this is pretty damn incriminating towards the idea that he knows damn well this was one of his people. I'm very sure at minimum he's worried this could come down on him.

[herding cats]

6. FWIW he's also saying he and his minions are being falsely blamed.

I don't have a solid opinion either way, and I'm not confident we'll ever know for sure.

[tanyev]

7. I'm sure the well-disciplined online army he commands will all comply.

That’s the problem with working on building a giant pile of kindling day after day after day, giving everyone matches and telling them to not to use the matches…yet. Eventually someone gets tired of waiting.

8. In other words, "...I didn't mean shoot white men!" So says a white supremacist, imo. /nt

[Wiz Imp]

9. Not necessarily an admission

But Fuentes is clearly concerned that it will be proven that the shooter was a groyper.

[hatrack]

10. But he hated Kirk, and they hated Kirk - at his command.

So, yeah, nice dodge of potential legal liability while simultaneously admitting potential legal liability.

[miyazaki]

11. The Dump Administration vowed to go after such actors.

So now they'll probably smash and raid 'Peace Fresno'.

[GreenWave]

12. Are they pissed that Kirk was only one person? Not enough for their bloodlust?

[EnergizedLib]

13. Is there any proof

That he was a leftist and had a trans roommate, like the cult is pushing?

I have reasons to believe he’s a Groyper, but we know how fast misinformation spreads and if you tell a lie long enough…

[Skittles]

21. LOL

sure, bro

[2MuchNoise]

14. You scared bro? 'Cause you sound scared.

[Justice matters.]

19. These cowards love sputting their big bullying mouth for the money, but...

when bullets start to fly, oops so all of a sudden, they start looking for their money.

They are the product of the Hate-Industrial-Complex Limbaugh created for his own profits.

[Kid Berwyn]

15. Haven't heard Nick's name mentioned much.

Little NeoNAZI incel must need to hang low or whatever.

[GoCubsGo]

16. Another Dr. Frankenstein trying to rein in his monster.

One can only hope that they destroy each other, without the rest of us being collateral damage.

[taxi]

17. Listen up you guys, he tells his followers. If you act up too soon, we won't be able to wrestle at the WH.

So keep it cool for now and Daddy won't be mad at us for ruining his plans.

[FakeNoose]

18. Gosh, now I'm thinking back to 2016 ...

What if Bernie Sanders had told his "BernieBros" to stand down? It probably would have changed the course of history.

[Skittles]

20. interesting

he has made a career out of inciting these sick radical fucks and now he wants them to behave

reminds me of the demand for the Epstein files only to eventually be told there's nothing to see here, move along......well well

[intheflow]

22. Literally the first time I've heard a rightwinger condemn violence

and call for his own base to cease and desist. This wasn’t “Proud Boys, stand down and stand by,” it’s “Proud Boys, stand down.” 🤔

Of course he’s only trying to save his own hide as he learns that free speech used for ill comes with unexpected consequences. One of which is the probability of the MAGA pololital machine coming down on his head, even as they spout the same hatred he embraces. I’m sure he’s getting death threats from MAGA for influencing Robinson, from people who supported him in the past. He may have gotten calls from everyone from Alex Jones to Stephen Miller darkly implying harm would come to him if he didn’t tone it down.
