Nicholas Joseph Fuentes (born August 18, 1998) is an American far-right [5] political commentator and live streamer who is known for his white supremacist , misogynistic , homophobic , and antisemitic views. A former YouTuber , his channel was permanently terminated in February 2020 for violating YouTube's hate speech policy.[6] Fuentes has promoted conspiracy theories against Jewish people,[7] has denied the Holocaust ,[8] [9] and called for a "holy war" against Jews.[10] He has been described as a neo-Nazi by various sources.[11] [12] Fuentes identifies as a member of the incel movement , as a supporter of authoritarian government , and as a Catholic integralist and Christian nationalist .[4] [13] [14]
Collaborating with Patrick Casey, a former leader of the neo-Nazi organization Identity Evropa in 2019,[15] Fuentes's followers, known as Groypers , began to heckle Turning Point 's Culture War Tour, including a speaking event for Donald Trump Jr. [16] In 2020, seeking to establish a white supremacist conference to rival CPAC , Fuentes began holding the annual America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC).[17] [18] Fuentes attended the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville ,[19] and was also an attendee and speaker at events preceding the 2021 United States Capitol attack .[20] He has encouraged the use of jokes and irony among white nationalist groups, stating that it "is so important for giving a lot of cover and plausible deniability for our views."[15] [21]
In late November 2022, Fuentes, along with Kanye West , met with former U.S. President Donald Trump for a private dinner. The meeting received significant comment from domestic and international political figures, with the debate surrounding the dinner being called "the most discomfiting moment in U.S. history in a half-century or more" for American Jews .[5]
