Nicholas Joseph Fuentes (born August 18, 1998) is an American far-right[5] political pundit and live streamer who promotes white supremacist, misogynistic, and antisemitic views. His YouTube page was permanently terminated in February 2020 for violating YouTube's hate speech policy.[6] Fuentes has promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories against Jews and called for a "holy war" against them,[7][8] and has denied the Holocaust.[9][10] He has been described as a neo-Nazi by various sources.[11][12] Fuentes identifies as a member of the incel movement, a supporter of authoritarianism, and as an integralist and a 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 USA'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 January 6 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 November 2022 Fuentes and the American rapper Kanye West had a private dinner with Donald Trump, the former president of the United States. The meeting was broadly condemned by commentators, and The New York Times described it as "what may be the most discomfiting moment in U.S. history in a half-century or more" for American Jews.[5]
