Nick Fuentes, 24, throws his drink at a couple after getting into a dispute at an In-N-Out
White nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes was caught throwing his drink at a couple inside an In-N-Out after getting into an argument.
Fuentes, 24, was dining at the Los Angeles burger joint when he was approached by a couple who quickly got into a row with the known supremacist, a witness said.
It is unclear what the group was fighting over, but the couple, who are not seen in the clip, reportedly got so angry they threw ketchup cups at Fuentes and his friends, TMZ reported.
Fuentes has been at the forefront of American media for the past few weeks after he was seen walking through a Miami airport with Kanye West and going to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
However, on Saturday, Fuentes reportedly denied being himself, according to a woman who filmed the Holocaust denier.
‘It is Nick Fuentes,’ the woman said as she filmed the white nationalist, who was wearing a suit. ‘He pretended that it wasn’t him, but it was really him.’
Fuentes and his group appeared to be leaving the restaurant when the woman said: ‘What the f**k? F**k Nick Fuentes. You racist.’
In another video, Fuentes can be seen standing at his table calmly, before out-of-the-blue, he throws his drink across the restaurant, spraying everyone nearby with liquid.

The drink reportedly did not hit the couple, who he was aiming at, as they were leaving the establishment.
Fuentes left five minutes later and the police were not called, according to TMZ.
Since dining at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said he didn’t know who Fuentes was when he dined with him and West in Florida, and that Fuentes’ extreme views were not discussed at the table.
“I had no idea what his views were, and they weren’t expressed at the table in our very quick dinner, or it wouldn’t have been accepted,” Trump said on Fox News.
Trump called the meeting ‘uneventful.’
In a video posted after the meeting, scandal-hit West – now known as Ye – said he told Trump he was considering running for president in 2024 and that the ex-president should be his running mate.

The former president, who declared his own White House bid two weeks ago, was ‘basically screaming,’ the rapper said in his Twitter video titled ‘Mar-a-Lago debrief.’
‘He tried to f*** me. He’s crazy. He can’t beat me,’ Trump reportedly said to allies after the dinner, according to NBC News.
An adviser told the outlet that Trump was ‘totally blindsided’ by the ‘setup’ dinner.
Fuentes, who used to back Trump, turned on the former president this week, urging far-right conservatives to pick a different candidate in 2024 just days after the dinner.
‘What are Christian Americans going to get out of a McCarthy speakership or the new Trump White House? Lower gas prices? Reduce the corporate tax rate?’ Fuentes wrote in a post on Telegram. ‘Years will pass us by as things remain fundamentally the same. We must dream bigger.’

Tarrant Area Food Bank schedules mobile events for holidays
Tarrant Area Food Bank employees check donations in May 2021. The Food Bank has scheduled mobile markets during the holidays.
The Tarrant Area Food Bank is ratcheting up the number of events because of increasing demands for food as Christmas approaches.
The Food Bank, which serves 13 counties, announced Thursday that mobile events are planned throughout Fort Worth, Arlington, Mansfield and Weatherford to help those in need during the holidays.
Julie Butner, president and CEO of the Food Bank, said that during Thanksgiving, several foundations donated funds for turkeys, but she is concerned that things will be a little tighter during Christmas as no foundations have come forward.
Also, schools will be closed for a longer time, so children will not be getting the free lunches and breakfasts, he said.
“The need continues, as it’s always a busy time for us during the holidays,” she said.
The Star-Telegram previously reported that the agency is facing the “perfect storm” because of a combination of inflation, supply chain issues affecting the availability of food and increasing utilities and food costs.
The Food Bank is spending $1.5 million per month to purchase food, but people are receiving less this year. Previously, people were getting around 88 pounds of food at the Mega Mobile Markets, and now, they are receiving around 60 pounds.
Donations to the food bank are also down this holiday season, and federal and state subsidies that were received during the pandemic are no longer available.
Here is the schedule:
Sunday, Dec. 4, 2-4 p.m.: Off the Dock event at the Food Bank Distribution Center, 2600 Cullen St., Fort Worth.
Tuesday, Dec. 13, 9-11 am: Six Flags Over Texas Holiday Distribution event, 2201 East Road to Six Flags St., Arlington.
Wednesday, Dec. 14, 6:30 pm: Mansfield ISD Performing Arts Center, 1110 West Debbie Lane, Mansfield. Event runs until all food is distributed.
Monday, Dec. 19, 10 am-noon: Herman Clark Memorial Stadium, 5201 CA Roberson Blvd., Fort Worth.
Thursday, Dec. 22, 5:30-7:30 pm: Food Bank West Holiday Mobile Event at Weatherford High School, 2121 Bethel Road, Weatherford.
Mega Mobile Markets are designed to serve all residents in the Tarrant Area Food Bank’s service area who need food assistance. No identification or documentation is required.

Richmond restaurant cancels conservative Christian group’s reservation
The group, the Family Foundation, was set to host a dessert reception for supporters on Nov. 30, the group’s president, Victoria Cobb, wrote in a blog post describing the incident. About an hour and a half before it was slated to start, one of the restaurant’s owners called to cancel it, he wrote. “As our VP of Operations explained that guests were arriving at their restaurant shortly, she asked for an explanation,” Cobb wrote. “Sure enough, an employee looked up to our organization, and their wait staff refused to serve us.”
The Family Foundation is based in Richmond and advocates for “policies based on biblical principles.” It has lobbied against same-sex marriage and abortion rights.
In an interview, Cobb said that since he posted about it, he has heard people alarmed by the story and from other dining establishments making it clear they would be welcome. “A lot of people are outraged that a restaurant wants to make a litmus test at the door,” he said. “Everyone should be concerned that people are being denied service based on their politics.”
In her blog post, Cobb liked the restaurant’s move to establishments that refused to serve Black customers in the 1950s and ’60s, and she declared what she called a “double standard” by liberals who think a Colorado baker should not be allowed to refuse to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.
Legal experts say neither of those are apt analogies. While it’s illegal to discriminate against someone because of their race or religion, the restaurant’s refusal has to do with the group’s actions, said Elizabeth Sepper, a professor at the University of Texas. “It’s about the overall positions and policies the group has taken — it’s not about Christian vs. non-Christians,” she said. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, DC, Seattle and the Virgin Islands specifically protect people from being refused service because of their political affiliation or ideology.
Reached by phone, Metzger co-owner Kjell Anderson said the owners had no comment beyond the Instagram post.
Restaurants have made news for taking issue with their patrons’ politics. Sarah Sanders, then the White House press secretary and now the governor-elect of Arkansas, was asked to leave the Red Hen in Lexington, Va., in 2018. The owner of the restaurant, Stephanie Wilkinson, wrote that she thought Sanders was “ a person whose actions in the service of our country we feel violated basic standards of humanity.” And a judge in 2018 sided with a New York bar that ejected a customer for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat in support of President Donald Trump.
If past is prologue, Metzger’s move — which was first reported by Virginia Business — is likely to bring it both criticism and support. Wilkinson described the aftermath of the incident with Sanders — which made headlines around the world — as intense. Her phone lines were hacked, she and her staff had private information about them posted online, and many of them received death threats. People took to Yelp, leaving fake negative reviews, and made reservations they had no intention of keeping. But Wilkinson said people also showed their support by driving in from miles away and by donating to local charities.
As of Tuesday, Metzger’s Yelp page was frozen and an “Unusual Activity Alert” was added. “This business recently received increased public attention, which often means people come to this page to post their views on the news,” the notice reads. “While we don’t take a stand one way or the other when it comes to this incident, we’ve temporarily disabled the posting of content to this page as we work to investigate whether the content you see here reflects actual consumer experiences rather than the recent events.”
The restaurant and the foundation used interest in the event to fundraise. Metzger on Saturday posted an image of a bourbon-based cocktail dubbed “Cracks in the
