'Something is afoot': Far-right leaders raise suspicions with 'statements against Trump'

Three powerful far-right pundits recently made statements denigrating former President Donald Trump's campaign, a surprising trend raising questions about the future of his candidacy.

White Supremacist Nick Fuentes, right-winger Joe Rogan — whom the New York Times recently described as hosting "the most popular podcast in the world" — and reactionary pundit Tim Pool all spoke out against the Republican nominee's second reelection campaign, investigative journalist Dave Troy reported on X.

"Something is afoot," Troy wrote, saying they all made "statements against Trump."

"What exactly remains to be seen."

Fuentes, who frequently praises Adolf Hitler, revoked his support for Trump’s campaign on X shortly after 12 a.m. ET on Friday.

"We support Trump, but his campaign has been hijacked by the same consultants, lobbyists, & donors that he defeated in 2016, and they're blowing it," wrote Fuentes. "Without serious changes we are headed for a catastrophic loss."

Rogan Thursday endorsed independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., telling his listeners the conspiracy theorist — who says a worm ate part of his brain and admits he staged a phony bear cub crime scene — was the only one who "makes sense."

“He’s the only one that doesn’t attack people," Rogan said. "He attacks actions and ideas. He’s much more reasonable and intelligent."

Pool posted on X, "Ok I'm voting for RFK Jr now" but later walked back the comment, telling followers he was just "trolling" and responding to Kennedy's thanks with affirmation that he would vote for Trump.

"There's no real argument against voting Trump," Pool wrote. "But f--- me some of these die hard magas are as destructive as the leftists."

Troy, who is a contributor to the Washington Spectator and featured on PBS News, argued it was too soon to predict how Trump's campaign would respond, but suggested the outbursts themselves were telling.

"While these three are execrable, and *what* they say is of little value, the fact they are saying it in unison is a signal in the realm of information warfare," Troy wrote. "Watch this space."
