Racist Still Registered To Vote In La Grange Park

Some residents are upset about the attention on the local racist, saying the media should write stories about other issues.

LA GRANGE PARK, IL – Nationally known racist Nicholas Fuentes is still registered to vote in La Grange Park, according to Cook County records.

However, police reports as recent as last August indicate he lived in Berwyn.

Earlier this year, Patch obtained reports on "swatting" incidents at Fuentes' house on Home Avenue in Berwyn. This is apparently where Fuentes, a 2016 graduate of Lyons Township High School, streams his white nationalist podcasts.

Fuentes registered to vote in February 2016. His registration, which is still active, lists his parents' house on Newberry Avenue. That is where he is believed to have previously streamed the podcast.

Earlier this week, Patch wrote about how Fuentes, who dined with Donald Trump last November, fantasized on his podcast about China taking over New York City and killing African Americans.

Some readers criticized Patch for writing the story. They said it should devote attention to other issues, particularly those that are popular among conservatives.

"How about doing stories like what happens in Hawaii or how migrants are moving in and some aren't misplaced families but criminals and doing drugs and destroying areas," one reader said. "Ohhh doesn't fit the narrative of hate toward a president."

One reader turned to a local issue, saying, "What happened to the story about the LTHS student who was hospitalized after being jumped walking out of school?"

Another reader also wanted the focus turned elsewhere.

"Did you post a similar article on the guy who ran over a child in California because he fantasized about killing whites? Or about the Waukesha hate killer? Keep the hate going. It won't end like you want it to," the reader wrote.

Still another reader wrote, "There are countless examples when the liberal media ignores the corruption in the democratic party. Let's start with the Biden corruption."
