this clip we weren't able to get to yesterday is pretty remarkable idaho local reporter named brian
holmes was able to get this rarified uninterrupted time with a politician you do not see this
on the national level where it's a lot more of a transactional relationship
marjorie taylor green got a ton of press for going to nick fuentes's america first pack conference
um which was happening in florida at the same time as cpac i believe so there was some crossover and
the further right you are there were some maybe at least loose ties to nick fuentes's conference
now it's a white nationalist conference um obviously they're you're going to get some
blow back for appearing or associating with someone like nick fuentes and this is a very
high up idaho politician um who appeared or made an appearance and might have been pre-recorded
uh at fuentes's pack we can confirm that in a bit um but here she is being questioned by idaho
local reporter brian holmes uh her name is janice mcgeechen and she is the idaho lieutenant governor
so no small position there that just not being able to really get away from this interview
because brian holmes does not let up in asking her about appearing at a white nationalist conference
are you familiar with who puts this event on like nick fuentes i don't i don't know who he
is i don't i've never met him i don't know who he is did you not look into it before you decided to
say okay like to find out i mean his name is on it well you know what nick fuentes i don't as i
said i don't know him he he's never i've never met him i don't know you know what what is what he's
everything that he says or doesn't say is not i may have spoken at the nick fuentes
conference for uh being a big right winger but i don't know who this guy is uh fuente says
does not reflect on who i am or who the thousands of others that are participating in this
movement you didn't bother to look up his name i didn't say that
you did look him up wait hold on pause it she she she said that she says she doesn't know who she is
but let's go back right let's uh roll the tape because pretty sure she says that she didn't know
who he was right because you know there's certain folks that you don't need to actually meet them
uh you can actually learn about them online and make a judgment from there yeah but she's
saying that she doesn't know who he was so uh he then asks did you google him or look him up
so maybe she just googled his name and didn't click on anything or put on sunglasses so she
was unable to really read her computer screen maybe that's part of what happened
well you know what nick fuentes i don't as i said i don't know him he's never
i've never met him i don't know you know what what is what is everything that he says or doesn't say
is not uh does not reflect on who i am or who the thousands of others that are participating in this
movement you didn't bother to look up his name or anything i didn't say that you did look him up
you didn't that's not the question did you look up who nick fuentes was and what he he what he's
talked about like what he thinks he has said i have since since last week not before yes
okay i guess the question is because you if you've said well i'm only and it's not fair
i mean the mainstream media you do this to conservatives all the time but you don't do
it to yourself that every time any time there's any kind of affiliation with anybody at any time
on any stage that we're all guilty by association pause it how about name those associations like
you go on trot out your like it's psycho antifa conspiracy yeah right exactly i mean nick fuentes
uh is a unite the right guy charlottesville guy uh regularly says the n word for fun
here's just a sentiment uh uh replacement from the anti-defamation league where nicolas j fenton said
what's really important to understand is that the crisis in race relations in the country basically
amounts to black failure and how do we explain to the continued disparity in just about every
measure he's basically a charles murray guy yeah um iq bell curve guy so uh yeah he's a big time uh
white uh white nationalist nazi and uh you know if i had affiliations that were as troubling uh
i'd welcome conservatives to make me answer for those yeah uh and uh just like as we are making
her look at how shifty she looks well i mean like let's let's see see she's about to uh
go off on the mainstream media and their hypocrisy let's see if she can come up with
a with a counter example maybe matt uh that that will will satisfy the logan press yeah
with anybody at any time on any stage that we're all guilty by association and it's not it's not
appropriate but the association is is not a good one to be associated with people who
are anti-semitic it's not just associated with people it's conferencing with them
stop stop excuse me excuse me yes you asked me why i was there why i wanted to participate and speak
to these young conservatives that's that's what we're talking about right now white nationalists
uh vincent james is also there correct do you know who vincent james is
i i've i've heard of him you've had your picture taken with him i did have my picture taken with
him okay do you know what he stands for and things that he has said no i don't know all
the things that he or anybody else and again i'm just going to keep repeating the same thing that
this guilt by association that the media tries to do with conservatives and conservatives only
is that if we ever have met somebody once or took a picture with them or ever shared a stage with
somebody ever ever we're all guilty by association do we remember the jeremiah right thing with obama
oh yeah oh yeah that's amazing right acorn oh my god no but like the jeremiah right thing is such
a good such a good point because that like you know the the that's uh they went to town
on that and that's way more analogous but like she literally just spoke at this conference we
acted like obama was like programmed by jeremiah wright to take down
the american empire yeah exactly he hates america listen to jeremiah if you want to know
why i went there and why what my message was go go watch my video i did watch your video and if
you would so that's what it was all about if you know who nick fuentes is would you have said yes
well again this this this this is a woman who wants to continue appealing to nazis but not
be seen publicly as appealing to nazis yes this movement is so much bigger than one individual
who cares what nick fuentes has to say who cares there's thousands and thousands you do apparently
conservatives all across the country that are very yeah a lot of uh quote-unquote young conservatives
want to hear what this nazi has to say very concerned about what's happening to our country
we are fighting for the soul of our nation with these wide open borders it's only a matter of time
that america we lose who we are as a free country and a white demographic and so and i'm not going
to run away i'm not going to hide from being being willing and wanting to go talk to young
these issues if you say nobody cares what nick fuentes says but people care that
you're associated with them or do you share a stage again you're trying to you're trying to
do this guilt by association over and over and over again and it needs to stop because if you
want to know who i am and why i went there i told you that and you know my don't assassinate
me or my character over don't assassinate me or my characters
the first quest the first request i think is fair and don't assassinate me okay i i had no intention
yeah uh the other thing is you know i think she's doing a good job with that herself yeah
i mean she eventually suicided your character she eventually takes off her mic uh and this is the
point that we have to get to again this is such a treat to have a reporter have like this complete
uninterrupted questioning of a crazy republican like this over something that any individual
that i may ever have met in my life if there are things that that are said or that they believe in
then that's that person that's not me but that's not the first time my point bring up vince and
james right i mean that's not the first time you've been associated with the with this group
so uh this is vincent james vincent he goes by vincent james fox a 31 year old video blogger
and live streamer with the fondness for white supremacist radical right-wing politics that
was the person who she was photographed with fox father of three who runs a growing media
operation called the red elephants has become rm's unofficial propagandists after the basically he's
just he's a right-winger republican was writing about that i have i i i very happy with that
journalist performance there but there is one note i would make and which i think like you
gotta not go with the um so much about the proper nouns of these guys but say a person who says
this yes person who believes this because like you can't expect i don't i don't know who that second
guy is i don't know i've heard of nick fuentes but i don't know who the other guy is and you need to
just put out like do you agree with what they say about this right about black people about you know
this person who you were photographed with exactly and then they can say uh no that's battered
because she doesn't want to say that because she actually still is appealing to those folks
the young conservatives that she talks exactly yeah and you need to put her on what make her
own it or make her not but this way she's still able to skirt around it a little bit
and another question i would ask would be why do you believe that these young conservatives want
to hear nick fuentes speak yeah do you think that's good or bad and also hear you speak
is there a uh an overlap there that i don't know maybe you want to reckon with
but either way i mean really well done and again like local reporters it's a very different
dynamic um with with the state governments there but i think it sheds light on how
how theatrical and silly so many of our national political interviews are um because that's the
kind of questioning of the the our elected officials that is supposed to be commonplace
no longer yeah and they're going to continue appealing to these folks like
i i like this has only gotten worse since my um sort of professional involvement in watching this
stuff on a day-to-day basis for like last six six years they tried to like stop the steve king stuff
but this is just too important of an energy source for their sort of electoral politics and they
can't be seen saying i uh i condemn nick fuentes and that sort of like white nationalism [ __ ]
