Nick Fuentes
Nicholas Joseph Fuentes is an American far-right political commentator and livestreamer. He hosts America First, a program that researchers, journalists, and civil-rights organizations have described as promoting white nationalism, white supremacy, Christian nationalism, themes associated with the incel movement, misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ positions, and antisemitic views, including Holocaust denial. The show is noted for its use of irony and humor to appeal to younger audiences, a style that observers argue provides Fuentes with plausible deniability for more extreme statements. His supporters, known as "Groypers," form a loose network of primarily young, online activists associated with alt-right politics.
