Nick Fuentes Tells His ‘Groyper Army’ to Stand Down

September 12, 2025 at 6:38 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Far-right conspiracy theorist Nick Fuentes told his followers, known as “groypers,” that if they turn to violence in the wake of the killing of Charlie Kirk, he will “disavow” and “disown’ them, Mediaite reports.

Said Fuentes: “This is a very delicate situation. This is a very delicate situation. I fear that this has set off a chain reaction. I pray to God there is no further violence. I pray to God that nobody else is hurt as a result of this. I hope that it stops here. It should stop here. To all of my followers: if you take up arms, I disavow you. I disown you in the strongest possible terms.”

“Fuentes and his so-called ‘groyper army’ have long been critics of Kirk, infiltrating his events in the past to troll the speakers and try and turn the crowd toward a more extreme, white nationalist version of conservatism.”
