National File By  JACK HADFIELD
Fuentes had been temporarily suspended earlier this year
Nick Fuentes, the host of America First, has been permanently banned from Twitter, one day after a hit piece on him was published by the ADL.
Fuentes, the conservative populist commentator and host of the nightly show America First, was banned from Twitter on Friday, with Fuentes announcing his permanent ban on Gab and Telegram. It is unclear at the time of writing exactly why Fuentes was banned from the Big Tech platform. National File has reached out to Twitter for comment, and to ask whether the ADLâs recent hit piece may have impacted their decision, but did not receive a response by the time of writing.
Some following Fuentesâs ban were quick to highlight that the ADL, the well known anti-free speech âJewish special interest group,â had written a hitpiece on him only the day before, and was posted to Twitter within the hour just before his ban, claiming that he is a âwhite supremacist leader and organizerâ who âtraffics in disinformation and division.â In a statement, Fuentes said that âthe ADL published a report on me and then I was permanently suspended hours later. Thatâs what happened,â adding that he would discuss his ban more later on his Telegram channel.
.@NickJFuentes is a white nationalist who traffics in disinformation and division. He and his "groyper army" spout #antisemitic, racist rhetoric, and are working hard to mainstream their extremist views.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, another far-left organization, also attacked Twitter earlier this week over the fact that Fuentes was still on their platform, linking him to the Capitol Hill protests. In an email to the SPLC dated January 11th, Twitter admitted that they had not seen âenough violative contentâ from Fuentes to ban him at the time. âItâll be interesting to see if the other people mentioned in the SPLCâs article about Twitterâs âembraceâ of the far-right from two days ago end up getting banned too,â said Ashley Goldenberg, the conservative commentator who was banned from Twitter two years previously.
Perhaps above any other site, @Twitter enabled the Jan 6 insurrectionists to organize their attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The same violence will reoccur if the company doesnât end its longstanding embrace of the far right.
