Walsh made his own response video to Fuentes on YouTube in which he makes fun of Nick's mustache.

On September 28th, 2019, Fuentes appeared in a photo with Kathy Zhu, Ashley St. Clair and Baked Alaska, among others. Ashley St. Clair was fired from her position at [[Turning point usa|Turning Point USA]] for appearing in a photo with Fuentes. This sparked outrage on Twitter from Zhu and Fuentes, with Fuentes stating on Twitter, "The message from [[Charlie Kirk]] and TPUSA is loud and clear: if you are a young, thoughtful, intellectual curious Right Winger, you are not welcome in their organization. TPUSA exists solely to enrich its donors, and they’ll cleave off anybody who poses a threat to the cash flow." Kathy Zhu responded to the firing by stating, "If they were actually anything close to [[KKK]] members, they wouldn’t even want to be in a picture with the 4 minorities in the photo. Guilt by association is a [[leftist]] tactic that beta-conservatives have adopted."

+
In July of 2021, Fuentes was banned from Twitter, in yet another case of [[liberal censorship]]. This sparked backlash from many conservatives on social media, including [[mainstream conservative]]s, who took his side, despite previously condemning him. This includes [[Ben Shapiro]], whom Fuentes had previously feuded with, and in 2019, tried to confront outside of a Turning Point USA conference in [[Florida]]<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHQDiPcBWEY</ref>. Fuentes received criticism for the confrontation, as Shapiro was with his family. Shapiro used his statement on the ban to simultaneously attack Fuentes' views and defend his right to a public platform.
