About this episode
When Kanye West, now known as “Ye,” engaged in a series of anti-semitic tirades last year, one person showed up next to him; an influencer named Nick Fuentes. On this episode, VICE News Senior Reporter Tess Owen explains how Fuentes is weaponizing Ye’s platform to drive his most racist, anti-semitic beliefs into the mainstream.
