Nick Fuentes, the far-right personality known for his involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot, was recently involved in a physical altercation at a rally in Orlando, Florida. Fuentes was accused of battery after allegedly grabbing a woman and stealing her phone.
The incident took place outside the Conservative Political Action Conference, where Fuentes was holding a rally of his own. Video footage captured the chaotic scene, showing Fuentes in a heated argument with a group of people before the altercation occurred.
In the video, Fuentes can be seen grabbing a woman’s arm and appearing to take her phone. The woman, identified as Krista Lee, claimed that Fuentes also pepper-sprayed her during the altercation. Lee stated that she was left with bruises and a bloody lip as a result of the incident.
Fuentes has denied the allegations of battery and pepper-spraying, claiming that he was acting in self-defense. He has since been banned from various social media platforms for his involvement in the Capitol riot and spreading false claims about the 2020 presidential election.
The incident at the rally has once again brought Fuentes into the spotlight and raised concerns about the influence of far-right figures in American politics. Fuentes has remained unapologetic about his actions, further solidifying his controversial reputation in the public eye.
