Fact Check: Did Nick Fuentes call for 'all women' be 'sent to the gulags'?

WASHINGTON, DC: A claim has been circulating on social media platforms that right-wing commentator Nick Fuentes said in a podcast that ‘all women must be sent to gulags.’ The rumor has sparked speculations, with many questioning the authenticity of the claim. Let us analyse his statement and fact-check its authenticity.

Claim: Nick Fuentes said 'All women should be sent to gulags'

In February 2026, multiple online posts claimed that far-right commentator Nick Fuentes said he would send women to the gulags, referring to Soviet-era forced labor camps, if he became president.

According to footage shared online, Fuentes purportedly said: "Women get sent to the gulags first, obviously. Which women? All women. Every woman. Every woman and girl is sent to the gulags. We will determine who the good ones are after the fact."

The claim has sparked speculations, with many asking to confirm whether Fuentes actually said this and whether the video footage was authentic or generated with artificial intelligence.

Fact Check: Nick Fuentes indeed made the remark

Fuentes indeed made such a statement while responding to a listener during the episode of his show ‘America First’ on Wednesday, February 11. Hence, it is proven that the video is authentic and was not edited or manipulated by any AI tools.

In the video, Fuentes said, “Women get sent to the gulags first, obviously. Which women? All women. Every woman. Every woman and girl is sent to the gulags."

"We will determine who the good ones are after the fact. Well, what about the good ones? What about the trad ones? First of all, there are no trad ones or good ones. Secondly, we will determine which ones are acceptable after they're all imprisoned. Then we will let them out.”

He further went on to say, “You have to do it because those are our political enemies. You want to know our number — this is unironically just true. The No. 1 political enemy in America is women."

"Straight up, I'm just telling you. I'm telling it like it is. People might say it's Jews, it's Democrats, it's white liberals, it's leftists, it's the Chinese. Our No. 1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned.”

He continued, “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women. And we'll sort it out. We'll find the good ones. They can prove themselves. Then we'll let 'em go.”
