Fuentes, known for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/things-that-donald-trump-did-not-do\/\" title=\"Things That Donald Trump Did Not Do\">white nationalist<\/a> and antisemitic views, caused division within the Republican Party after Carlson gave him a platform. While some criticized Carlson for hosting Fuentes, accusing him of amplifying racist and violent rhetoric, Morgan decided to invite Fuentes for a chat, acknowledging Fuentes&#8217; insistence on appearing on his show. Fuentes accepted the invitation, and if the interview takes place, it would mark another high-profile media appearance for the controversial personality, who holds a notable following on platforms like X and Rumble.

He&rsquo;s coming off several interviews on the podcast circuit, including with Carlson.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson&rsquo;s interview has about 6.5 million views on YouTube and introduced the 27-year-old to his about 5 million subscriber base. The interview gave Fuentes one of his largest audiences yet.<\/p>\n<p>Fuentes has about a million followers on X and nearly 550,000 on Rumble. He&rsquo;s one of the most popular far-right personalities in the public view.<\/p>\n<p>But many didn&rsquo;t believe Carlson should have had Fuentes on his show, accusing the former Fox News host of platforming someone who has praised Adolf Hitler, to his audience.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I spoke briefly with Tucker about that, and I think it&rsquo;s a responsibility. He has a lot of listeners, and I think giving&nbsp;Nick Fuentes&nbsp;that platform is a big mistake,&rdquo; Johnson&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/newsletters\/the-movement\/5621034-mike-johnson-carlson-fuentes-antisemitism-free-speech\/\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not just antisemitic, it&rsquo;s openly racist, it&rsquo;s violent &mdash; things you can&rsquo;t even repeat on the House floor,&rdquo; Johnson said. &ldquo;We should not be giving a platform to amplify those views. And I think that&rsquo;s important for us to say.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Johnson&rsquo;s comments signaled a break with President Donald Trump, who said that &ldquo;you can&rsquo;t tell&rdquo; Carlson who to interview.<\/p>\n<p>Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts also defended Carlson for the interview, but received backlash within his organization for doing so. Some left their positions, including a board member, citing Roberts&rsquo;s response to Carlson&rsquo;s interview with Fuentes.<\/p>\n<p>The party&rsquo;s reaction to Fuentes has made him more relevant in recent times. Morgan&rsquo;s interview with him could add to the controversy.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3898326\/mike-johnson-breaks-trump-tucker-carlson-nick-fuentes-interview\/\">JOHNSON BREAKS WITH TRUMP ON WHETHER CARLSON SHOULD HAVE GIVEN FUENTES A PLATFORM: &lsquo;OPENLY RACIST&rsquo;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the pair didn&rsquo;t focus on Fuentes, Morgan sat down with Carlson for <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rDOsm-CYUwQ\">an interview released Wednesday.<\/a> The interview focused on free speech, and the &ldquo;f&rdquo; word surrounding gay people.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson prodded Morgan to say the word, but he hesitated. He later said it, but acknowledged that using the word would offend people.
