Nick Fuentes

Nicholas Joseph Fuentes (born August 18, 1998) is an American far-right political commentator and live streamer. He hosts America First, a livestream that has promoted white nationalism and supremacy, Christian nationalism, the incel movement, misogyny, anti-LGBTQ views and antisemitism including Holocaust denial. His supporters are known as Groypers.

Fuentes was raised in La Grange Park, Illinois, and held mainstream conservative views while attending high school. He began political activism in 2016 after graduating, voiced support for Donald Trump, and started the episodic live stream America First in 2017. He attended the 2017 Unite the Right rally. In 2019, Fuentes's followers heckled Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA events, referred to as the "Groyper War", to push for more extreme right-wing positions. In 2020, he established the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), a white nationalist alternative to rival CPAC. In 2021, Fuentes spoke at events preceding the January 6 United States Capitol attack. In 2022, Fuentes and Kanye West had a private dinner with Donald Trump. In 2024, Fuentes launched "Groyper War 2" against Trump's 2024 presidential campaign; using memes, trolling, and protests. Fuentes faced widespread deplatforming from major social media, streaming, and financial services between 2020 and 2023, primarily for violating hate speech policies and involvement with January 6.
