Jaden Patrick McNeil (born May 17, 1999[2]) is a former American far-right [3] activist and live-streamer. In 2021, the Anti-Defamation League described McNeil as an "America First" Groyper.[4] He is most notable for being the former Turning Point USA chapter president of Kansas State University.[5] He is the founder and former president of America First Students.[6] McNeil was formerly treasurer of the America First Foundation, a nonprofit organization which organizes AFPAC (an annual conference associated with the Groyper movement) and other political events.[7][8]
He was described by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a "sidekick personality" of Nick Fuentes. In May 2022, he broke ties with Fuentes and the Groyper movement.[9] During a podcast, McNeil stated that after "years as a loyal footsoldier to Fuentes," he was left with "no money, no friends, and no prospects".
