A new GOP bill calling for “sole and exclusive allegiance” to the United States by prohibiting U.S. citizens from holding dual citizenship invokes an antisemitic trope pushed by white nationalist streamer and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, who has used accusations of “dual loyalty” to attack Jewish Americans for years.

On December 1, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) introduced the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025, which would “establish that citizens of the United States shall owe sole and exclusive allegiance to the United States.” The bill, which follows months of calls by right-wing podcasters like Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon, would force Americans who voluntarily acquire foreign citizenship to relinquish their claim in the U.S. and existing dual citizens to give up either all foreign claims or their U.S. citizenship.

The bill's call for “exclusive allegiance” echoes the antisemitic trope of dual loyalty, which suggests Jewish Americans “are more loyal to their fellow Jews or Israel than” to the U.S.

For years, Fuentes has spread harmful antisemitic rhetoric against Jewish Americans, including accusing them of holding “dual loyalty” to the United States and Israel. In 2019, he argued: “We have to create a movement that is fundamentally unwelcoming” to “dual loyalty, this sort of two-faced, transient character, transnational character.” In 2020, Fuentes declared that “having a dual loyalty to a foreign country is unacceptable in the America First movement,” and three years later, stated: “We can’t have Jewish people in the leadership because their loyalty is not to the United States.”

This year, Fuentes has continued to accuse Jewish Americans of dual loyalty and has specifically called for an end to dual citizenship.

In July, Fuentes ranted against the Israeli-American philanthropist Miriam Adelson and conflated dual citizenship with dual loyalty. He asked: “Why is Miriam Adelson not registered as a foreign agent?” and then called for dual citizenship to be made “illegal.” He then answered a rhetorical question about what to do with those who hold dual citizenship, stating: “Well, we have to identify that she's Jewish. That means she's loyal to Israel as a billionaire. That means she has too much influence as someone with loyalty to a foreign country.”

During another July episode, Fuentes claimed that “many Jews can never be America First” because “they always have two competing loyalties.” He claimed Jewish Americans “will always and reciprocally have a deep loyalty to each other within the nation, outside the nation, to the state of Israel.” Fuentes then stated that it “becomes a real problem” when “they enter the highest corridors of power, when they're billionaires, bankers, when they run the media, when they have major influence over the big decisions that affect everybody within the country, and they harbor these feelings, the distrust, almost to the point of hostility, animosity against the rest of the population of the country in which they reside, and at the same time, a dual loyalty, which might be primary or secondary to a Jewish nation.”

In October, Fuentes said “Jewish dual loyalty” was both “un-American” and “un-Christian,” and claimed that “a serious country would rise up and say, ‘you need to get out.’” He asked: “What happens one day when the police show up and they take you and they put you on a plane back over there and they confiscate your devices, your computers? Not so powerful now, huh?” Fuentes then concluded, “Let's see how good you do. All your education, all your smarts, all your chutzpah. Let's see how good you do over there by yourselves without taking advantage of us.”

In addition to calling for an end to dual citizenship, Fuentes has repeatedly called for a shutdown of all immigration — a position that the Trump administration has seemingly begun to embrace. Fuentes has noted the right's shift toward some of his policies, boasting that “the groypers have won.”
