Fuentes attended the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, and later was an attendee and speaker at events preceding the 2021 United States Capitol attack. He has encouraged the use of jokes and irony among white nationalist groups, stating that it "is so important for giving a lot of cover and plausible deniability for our views".In late November 2022, Fuentes, along with Kanye West met with former President Donald Trump during a dinner. The meeting received significant comment from domestic and international political figures.

Alexander Emerick Jones (born February 11, 1974) is an American far-right and alt-right radio show host and prominent conspiracy theorist. He hosts The Alex Jones Show from Austin, Texas, which the Genesis Communications Network broadcasts across the United States (syndicated and internet radio). Jones's website, InfoWars, promotes conspiracy theories and fake news, as do his other websites NewsWars and PrisonPlanet. Jones has provided a platform and support for white nationalists, giving Unite the Right attendee and white supremacist Nick Fuentes a platform on his website Banned.Video, as well as serving as an "entry point" to their ideology.The conspiracy theories promoted by Jones alleged that the United States government either concealed information about or outright falsified the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11 attacks, and the 1969 Moon landing. He has claimed that several governments and big businesses have colluded to create a "New World Order" through "manufactured economic crises, sophisticated surveillance tech and—above all—inside-job terror attacks that fuel exploitable hysteria".A longtime critic of Republican and Democratic foreign and security policy, Jones supported Donald Trump's 2016 presidential bid and continued to support him as a savior from an alleged criminal bipartisan cabal controlling the federal government, despite falling out over several of Trump's policies including airstrikes against the Assad regime. A staunch supporter of Trump's reelection, Jones supported the false claims of electoral fraud in the 2020 presidential election and, on January 6, 2021, was a speaker at a rally in Lafayette Square Park supporting Trump, preceding the attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.In 2022, for Jones' defamatory falsehoods about the Sandy Hook shooting, juries in Connecticut and Texas have awarded $965 million and $50 million in damages respectively from Jones to families of Sandy Hook shooting victims and a first responder; they had alleged that Jones' lies led to them being threatened and harassed for years. On November 10, 2022, in the second defamation case in Connecticut, a judge awarded the eight families a further $473 million in punitive damages in the form of lawyers’ fees bringing the total to over $1.4 billion. The judge also issued an order that he was “not to transfer, encumber, dispose or move his assets out of the United States until further order of the court.”
