“If the Grand Old Party chooses to remain silent as politicians like Gosar lend extremists the keys to influence, they may never get them back,” jaredlholt writes.
Hannah Gais, a senior researcher for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said that Fuentes’ proximity to less-fringe politicians like Gosar and Rogers “has demonstrated to other parts of the far right that his movement is deserving of their support,” even if those speakers don’t always support the entirety of Fuentes’ agenda.
It is with that common cause that Fuentes and his guests will convene the third year of his conference orbiting CPAC in Orlando, Florida. CPAC regularly attracts and courts large groups of young conservatives from around the country, offering them networking and job-hunting opportunities. Fuentes’ evident strategy is to siphon away an amount of those young faces to his burgeoning hate movement in hopes of strong-arming the conservative movement more broadly toward an unapologetic far-right bent.
Without aggressive pushback, that strategy just might work. As the lines between mainstream conservative politics and once-taboo far-right ideologies have blurred, figures like Fuentes are capitalizing on the moment.
