Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fuentes (born: August 18, 1998), is an American neo-nazi[1] political commentator and internet personality. He is the host of America First (named after Donald Trump's inauguration speech). Nick gives commentary on a variety of subjects and current events. Nick is the founder and president of the America First Foundation and the founder of Cozy.tv, an invite-only streaming website.
History[]
Nick began doing commentsry in 2015, with the Nicholas J Fuentes show premiering that year. He would later be signed to Right Side Broadcasting Network in 2017 where he started his show America First with Nicholas J. Fuentes, but would be fired that year and host the show independently since.
He would collaborate with James Allsup in 2018, creating America First Media. However this would dissolve amid their personal feud.
Nick and his fans, called "Groypers" gained attention after they heckled Charlie Kirk and Rep. Dan Crenshaw at Turning Point USA conferences, as well as an event at UCLA featuring Charlie Kirk, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Donald Trump Jr. Nick and the Groypers also saw an increase in popularity due to their involvement in the Stop the Steal protests against the 2020 Presidential election.
Nick hosts a conference named AFPAC (America First Political Action Conference). The inaugural event happened on in 28th February 2020, and AFPAC II in 25th February 2021, where Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) was a surprise speaker.
AFPAC III was sponsored by Gab.com and took place in 25th February 2022, with three surprise speakers, Rep. Paul Gosar, Janice McGeachin, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Former sheriff Joe Arpaio and Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers spoke at the event.
Nick later held other events in 2023, called "Fuentes Rally". AFPAC IV was set to occur on 15th June 2024, but the event venue cancelled the event last minute and it was overall postponed.
In November 2022, Nick joined Kanye West's 2024 presidential campaign and had Thanksgiving dinner with Ye and former President Donald Trump, which gained significant media attention.
Termination[]
Fuentes' channel was terminated on 14th February 2020.[2] However, some of the videos can be seen in the Wayback Machine. His DLive channel and other social media accounts were terminated after media pressure following the 2021 Capitol Riot on 6th January, although his DLive and Twitter/X accounts were reinstated. In September 2025, Fuentes' channel was again terminated.[3]
Political views[]
Nick Fuentes has described himself as a Catholic reactionary, and Christian futurist. Fuentes is against what he describes as "the American Regime", which includes the federal government, the federal reserve, the mainstream media, and corporate giants. Fuentes is critical of American foreign policy, believing that the issue to United States is not Iran or China or Russia, it is "the American Regime". Fuentes is against current conflicts in the Middle East, although he has spoken positively about imperialist expeditions during the Age of Discovery.
Socially, Nick is a devout Roman Catholic, and states that America is a Christian nation. Nick is anti-LGBT, calling it a "deviancy", and has criticized Republicans on being too progressive on LGBT rights. Fuentes is also anti-Abortion and anti-Drugs. Nick opposes the COVID-19 vaccine, and has held an anti-vax rally in New York City, wearing a bulletproof vest. He has praised world leaders such as Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and the Taliban for their socially conservative and ultra-nationalist policies enacted, although praise of the latter two resulted in controversies, as they were responses to the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. His anti-Israeli comments resulted in a former friend repeatedly asking RSBN to fire him in 2017.
Nick firstly supported Ted Cruz in 2016, before switching his support to Donald Trump. He also called Donald Trump a 'borderline racist' in 2015. Despite being a Trump supporter, he has criticized Trump on many issues such as Trump's social policies and his political endorsements of political candidates after leaving office. Fuentes has been extremely critical of the Republican Party, criticizing them regarding issues such as pro-Israel foreign policy, immigration, and social policy. He mocked Senator John McCain and former 41st U.S. President George H. W. Bush in 2018 after they passed away, due to their pro-war stance. He called Trump's 2024 announcement trash and joined the Ye24 campaign as his communications director. He later withdrew his support for Ye due to him having a fashion event where a cross was put on the buttocks of his wife, which he found distasteful and blasphemous. He later said that he did not talk to Ye since that event occurred in May. He later reunited with Ye in 2025.
Nick opposes the Israeli lobby, and conferences such as AIPAC, stating that they have too much power and influence over elected officials. Nick also opposes Judaism, and stated that denying the divinity of Jesus Christ is worse than denying the Holocaust. Nick is critical of conservative organizations who are Zionist, such as Breitbart, The Daily Wire, Prager U and Turning Point USA, as well as individuals such as Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro.
Fuentes believes immigration should be suspended indefinitely, and that illegal immigrants should be deported. Fuentes states that immigration, both legal and illegal, will cause the demographic and cultural identity of USA to change due to this, and that this multicultural change will cause ethnic conflict between groups. Fuentes also states that there is an anti-White agenda committed by the "American Regime", and that this agenda must be stopped. Fuentes is anti-BLM, calling the group "racial narcissists", and has expressed his displeasure about criminal activity in African-American areas. Nick also expresses his displeasure towards women who sleep around in right-wing movements, and famously said 'No E-Girls. Never!', in 2019. This resulted in multiple conflicts between his fans and right-wing women, most notably Lauren Southern. He also has made multiple jokes about women in a negative light.
Personal Life[]
Nick resides in Chicago, Illnois. He has stated an interest in moving to Florida. Nick is of Spanish, Mexican, Italian, and Irish descent. He is Roman Catholic. Nick graduated from Lyons Township High School, and participated in Model UN competitions. Nick has a twin sister named Melissa Fuentes.
In late 2024, his address was doxxed on X due to comments he made about women on his stream during the 2024 presidential election. An activist showed up to his house and rang his doorbell, which he responded by pepper spraying her and pushing her down the steps. She later made a police report which resulted in Nick being charged with battery and assault.
Around that time, a man went to Nick's house in an attempt to kill him, armed with multiple guns and a crossbow. He later went to his neighbor's house and murdered multiple animals before dying in a shootout with cops.
