Worried white supremacist Nick Fuentes calls for calm after Charlie Kirk assassination
White supremacist Nick Fuentes, who infamously clashed with late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has reacted to his assassination.
Fuentes, 27, who was prohibited from attending any of Kirk's Turning Point USA events, went live on Thursday night and described his passing as a 'tragedy'.
He said: 'As I watched the chaos and tragedy unfold yesterday afternoon it didn't feel real. People have been profoundly affected by this.
'It doesn't feel real, it feels like a nightmare that we will never wake up from', while making note of their long standing rivalry.
He added: 'I say that as somebody who is not even a fan, not even a friend, and actually an adversary, a foe.'
Fuentes also addressed his supporters, known as Groypers, saying: 'To all of my followers if you take up arms, I disavow you.
'I disown you. In the strongest possible terms. That is not what we're about.'
His supporters are known to use the acronym 'RKD4NJF', which stands for 'rape, kill and die for Nicholas Joseph Fuentes'.

The two had clashed first back in 2019, with Fuentes claiming Kirk was too moderate and not sufficiently far-right or anti-immigrant enough.
Supporters of Fuentes started heckling Kirk at his Turning Point events due to his mainstream stance on conservatism.
After Fuentes' words were shared on social media on Friday after the arrest of the main suspect Tyler Robinson, a clip of talking about Kirk just last month resurfaced.
In it, he said: 'I do not want to hear, and you can not allow, Charlie Kirk to go to one more public event, without being protested, without being shouted down.
'This guy goes around from campus to campus in the most, artificial, phony, fake way.
'You sit there and call yourself a Christian and then you make excuses for the genocide of two million people', referring to Palestine.
As Kirk, Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer rose to have ties to the White House, Fuentes remained firmly on the outside as a fringe extremist.
Besides his Turning Point ban, the Holocaust denier has also been ordered to stay away from the annual Conservative Political Action Conference.

Officials announced on Friday that Robinson, a student and Utah native, was handed over by his own family after they suspected him of killing Kirk.
Authorities said he inscribed messages on bullets referring to internet culture and anti-fascist sentiments before firing the shot that killed Kirk on Wednesday.
Officials said he had become more political in recent years, and mentioned Kirk going to Utah Valley University.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox added: 'In the conversation with another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU.
'They talked about why they didn’t like [Kirk] and the viewpoints that he had.'
Robinson is alleged to have said at dinner with family that 'Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate'.
President Donald Trump said he now wants to see the killer get the death penalty for the assassination of Kirk, whom he described as the 'finest person'.
Kirk, a father of two, known for his fierce MAGA views and debates with college kids across the country, collapsed immediately after being hit by the gunfire.
