On December 8, 2025, British broadcaster Piers Morgan hosted a live two-hour interview with American far-right activist Nick Fuentes on his YouTube program, Piers Morgan Uncensored. The discussion delved into Fuentes’ controversial views on race, religion, gender, and politics. Broadcast to Morgan’s global audience, the exchange drew immediate attention for its unfiltered confrontations and sparked polarized reactions across social media and news outlets.
Piers Morgan, 60, is a veteran journalist and television personality known for his combative interviewing style. Born in Guildford, England, he rose to prominence as a newspaper editor before transitioning to broadcasting, including stints on CNN’s Piers Morgan Live and ITV’s Good Morning Britain. Since 2022, he has hosted Piers Morgan Uncensored, a platform for high-profile debates on contentious issues like free speech, identity politics, and current events. Morgan often positions himself as a defender of open dialogue, even with polarizing guests, while challenging what he sees as extreme positions.
Nick Fuentes, 27, leads the “Groyper” movement and the America First Political Action Conference, advocating for paleoconservative and nationalist policies. A Chicago native and former college debater, he gained notoriety through online streams criticizing mainstream conservatism, immigration, and what he calls “globalist” influences. Fuentes has faced bans from platforms like YouTube and Twitter (now X) for hate speech violations. His 2022 dinner with then-President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago drew widespread condemnation, as did his associations with figures like rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West). Critics label him a white supremacist and Holocaust denier, charges he has partially addressed in past statements.
The interview began with Morgan pressing Fuentes on accusations of playing a “double game” – appearing moderate in public while espousing radical views privately – a claim raised by commentator Coleman Hughes. Fuentes dismissed it, attributing his perspectives to his suburban upbringing and family discussions on politics. As the conversation unfolded, Morgan replayed clips of Fuentes’ past rants, including one where he targeted “Jews, women, and blacks.” Fuentes responded without apology, stating, “Everybody except white people are racist.” He argued that anti-white bias permeates society, from media portrayals to policy decisions, and accused opponents of hypocrisy in ignoring per capita crime disparities between racial groups.
Morgan challenged these assertions head-on, questioning Fuentes’ use of statistics on black versus white crime rates. Fuentes insisted on adjusting for population differences, saying, “Are you playing dumb or are you just not that smart?… well, I don’t think you’re dumb… but you’re deliberately avoiding per capita.” Tensions escalated when Morgan turned to antisemitism. Fuentes mocked Holocaust survivors’ descendants for leveraging the tragedy politically and criticized laws in countries like Germany that criminalize denial or debate of the event. Pressed on the death toll, Fuentes replied, “I’m thinking, maybe seven million,” saying “at least” six million Jews were killed under Nazi rule.
Fuentes also defended his 2023 comment calling Adolf Hitler “f–king cool,” framing it as admiration for how the leader carried himself and portrayals of Nazi society through short-form video “edits” rather than genocide. On gender, he reiterated misogynistic remarks, including those against equal rights for women. Morgan probed further, asking if Fuentes had ever had sex; the guest admitted he had not and added, “I’ve never been in love.” Fuentes tied these views to traditional Catholic values, decrying modern feminism as destructive to family structures. The discussion touched on Fuentes’ relationships with conservative figures: he expressed regret for not confronting Tucker Carlson directly about perceived inconsistencies, pitied Candace Owens’ husband amid her public feuds, and voiced fears for his safety following the Charlie Kirk assassination.
Throughout, Fuentes portrayed himself as a truth-teller exposing elite hypocrisies, while Morgan positioned the exchange as a test of accountability. The host interrupted frequently to fact-check or redirect, prompting Fuentes to accuse him of bad-faith tactics. Neither yielded ground, with Fuentes maintaining composure amid the scrutiny and Morgan leveraging his experience to keep the focus on accountability.
Reactions poured in swiftly on X, formerly Twitter, reflecting the interview’s divisive nature. Supporters of Fuentes hailed his performance as a masterclass in dismantling establishment viewpoints. Podcaster Steven Crowder, who also recently interviewed Fuentes, said Morgan “spent the whole interview trying to ‘gotcha’ his way through identity politics on a guy who already rejects the premise.”
Critics, however, viewed the interview as an exposure of Fuentes’ extremism. The Jewish advocacy group The Forward highlighted Fuentes’ Holocaust remarks as appearing to acknowledge that at least six million Jews were killed in Nazi Germany, though noting he mocked descendants of victims and survivors for speaking about the atrocity while criticizing laws that prohibit denial or debate about it. News outlet Haaretz criticized Morgan for handing the Holocaust denier yet another platform, emphasizing how Fuentes defended his attacks on world Jewry and Holocaust education efforts during the exchange.
