My interview with Nick Fuentes was a really great experience. My intuition has rarely proven incorrect, and I had a number of people around me warning me about “what might go wrong.” Although I was prepared for anything, my instinct was that he would show up with an open mind and a willingness to engage—and that I should do the same. I feel like that’s exactly what happened. I found him to be sincere with me and free from pretense. I thought our dynamic was mutually respectful, which was not only nice, but productive—especially considering that a few shots had been fired between us on social media in the past. My goal, as always, was to try to find the truth. Whatever anyone may think of him, there’s no denying that he’s smart and talented. My feeling (again, intuition) is that the next several years are going to be about a reformation within the conservative movement. That reformation is going to require many people and several things, including a willingness to put principles before personalities, and an openness among many of us to allow people to evolve and change. None of us should be permanently defined by our pasts. So I asked Nick whether he is capable of, and willing to, evolve into a leader as our country becomes increasingly in need of true America First leadership. I appreciated our conversation, and I took heart in the fact that many of his supporters, who were equally skeptical of me, have said they felt this was the best interview Nick has been given to date. Looking forward to seeing where the future takes us and what it may bring. @NickJFuentes
