Nick Fuentes

Nicholas Joseph Fuentes (born August 18, 1998) is an American political commentator and a far-right white nationalist, activist, and live streamer. He hosts America First, a livestream promoting Christian nationalism, white supremacy, misogyny, anti-LGBTQ views, and antisemitism including Holocaust denial. His supporters are known as Groypers. Fuentes was raised in La Grange Park, Illinois, and attended Lyons Township High School where he was described as having held mainstream conservative views. He began political activism in 2016 after graduating, and started the episodic live stream America First in 2017. In 2019, Fuentes's followers began to heckle Charlie Kirk and events at his organization Turning Point USA, referred to as the "Groyper War". In 2020, seeking to establish a white supremacist conference to rival the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Fuentes began holding an annual America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC). In November 2022, Fuentes and Kanye West had a private dinner with Donald Trump. The meeting was condemned by some American political commentators due to Fuentes and West's antisemitism. In August 2024, Fuentes launched the "Groyper War 2" against Trump's presidential campaign. Memes, trolling, and protests were used to push for more extreme right-wing positions. In 2025, Fuentes said Trump was a "scam artist" for his failure to release the Jeffrey Epstein client list, and the New York Times and The Atlantic highlighted his growing influence on the political right. Fuentes has been involved in a number of controversial events. He attended the 2017 Unite the Right rally, and spoke at events preceding the January 6 United States Capitol attack. 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.
