What was said
"He has endorsed basically Nick Fuentes' politics. He's sort of the first test of this, like, angry, like, super racist. Byron Donalds is Black and James Fishback will call him a slave. I mean, all this racist— it will send him back to the ghetto, all this sort of stuff. And yet he's rising in the polls."
Sommer identified James Fishback, a heavily indebted former hedge fund employee, as the first major Republican candidate to fully embrace neo-Nazi streamer Nick Fuentes's ideology. Fishback is challenging Trump-backed Byron Donalds for Florida governor using openly racist rhetoric including calling his Black opponent a slave. Despite being $2 million in debt and allegations of sexual relationships with high school students, Fishback is drawing standing-room-only crowds and rising in polls.
