Nick Fuentes

Nicholas Joseph Fuentes (born August 18, 1998) is an American far-right political commentator, live streamer, and activist from Chicago, Illinois. He is the founder of the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) and hosts the "America First" online show. Fuentes has gained notoriety for his controversial political views and has been banned from various social media platforms.

Fuentes first gained public attention during his time at Boston University in 2017, when he left the school after receiving threats for his participation in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Since then, he has become a prominent figure in far-right politics, particularly among young conservatives, through his online presence and speaking engagements.

The political commentator has been involved in numerous controversies, including being banned from multiple social media platforms and payment processors due to his extreme views and statements. He has been labeled as a white nationalist by various civil rights organizations, though he disputes this characterization.

In recent years, Fuentes has focused on building his America First movement, particularly through his annual AFPAC conference, which serves as an alternative to mainstream conservative gatherings. His influence has extended to interactions with prominent political figures, though many mainstream conservatives have distanced themselves from him and his views.
