“ | You have a lot of conservative babes, and they'll say 'I'm a feminist, but I'm a real feminist, like the right to vote feminist, like the equality for women feminist.' Shut up, idiot! We don't like you either! We don't need you either! We want to go back to before that! No feminists! | „ |
~ Fuentes expressing his opposition to feminism. |
Nicholas Joseph Fuentes, popularly known as Nazi Nick or Nick Fuentes, (born August 18, 1998) is an American podcaster and political commentator. His YouTube channel was permanently suspended in 2020 for violating hate speech policies, forcing him to host his America First podcast on other sites. Most of these sites have since banned Fuentes for violating their terms of service.

Fuentes describes himself as a "paleoconservative" and "American nationalist", though many have accused him of holding anti-Semitic and racist views. He is associated with the Alt-Right and the Stop the Steal movement. He has also expressed support for the racist conspiracy theory known as the Great Replacement.[1] He self-identifies as an "incel", a misogynistic online subculture associated with the belief that men are entitled to have sex with women, and believes that women are inherently stupider than men and will all go to Hell.[2]
While working for the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) in 2017, Fuentes went on a rant about how "the First Amendment was not written for Muslims", calling Islam "a barbaric ideology that wanted to come over and kill us".[3] He also said that it was "time to kill the globalists" because they "control the media" and that the people who control CNN should be deported or hanged.[4] He was subsequently fired,[5] with RSBN issuing an apology.
One of Fuentes's most controversial opinions was made public in a video about Adolf Hitler when he engaged in Holocaust denial by downplaying the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust. According to Fuentes, the number was actually closer to three thousand than the commonly accepted figure of 5-6 million.[6]
Fuentes has implicitly supported white supremacist terrorist Patrick Crusius, having accused journalist Matt Walsh of being a "race traitor" and "faggot" for condemning Crusius's actions.[7] He is also a believer in racialism and claims that different races are both biologically and spiritually different. Because of this, Fuentes has called on multiple occasions for America to be racially segregated.[8] Both Fuentes and his supporters, the so-called "Groypers", believe that immigration is a demographic threat to America and that the Democratic Party wins elections because there are black people present in the country.[9] He attended the Unite the Right rally in 2016,[1] for which he received several threats and was forced to leave Boston University (where he was studying at the time).[10]
Fuentes has repeatedly criticized Turning Point USA and its founder Charlie Kirk, accusing them of betraying Donald Trump by advocating in favor of mass legal immigration, support in foreign aid for Israel and LGBT issues. Throughout October and November 2019, his supporters were present at many of Kirk's public speaking events,[11] which featured guest speakers including Donald Trump Jr., Lara Trump, and Kimberly Guilfoyle. These campaigns frequently involved asking questions that prompt viewers to look up far-right and anti-semitic conspiracy theories and hoaxes online. Fuentes has characterized the campaign as a grassroots effort to expose TPUSA as ideologically inconsistent with the ideology espoused by Donald Trump and other conservative populists. As a result of this campaign, some right-wing mainstream politicians and pundits disavowed Fuentes, characterizing his beliefs as extreme and out-of-touch with mainstream conservatism
As previously mentioned, Fuentes is a member of the Stop the Steal movement and believes that the 2020 election was rigged in favour of leftist candidate Joe Biden.[12][9] On January 4, 2021, Fuentes organised a Stop the Steal rally in Michigan and discussed the possibility of killing legislators who refused to overturn the election result: "What can you and I do to a state legislator — besides kill them?".[1][13][14] Fuentes was later present during the storming of the Capitol building on January 6, during which he encouraged his followers to "keep moving" and declared that the mob was "taking the Capitol back".[1] Following the Republican Party's disappointing results in the 2022 midterm elections, Fuentes declared that it was time for Republicans to "take control of the government and force the people to believe what we believe", explicitly calling for a dictatorship in the process.[9][15]
After Republican congressman Matt Gaetz was accused of having sexual relations with a minor, Fuentes defended him for no reason other than his belief that relationships with large age gaps are "traditional".[16] In the video, Fuentes claimed that the age of consent is "very much a feminist agenda" and that Gaetz should have married his alleged victim.[16] Fuentes is also known for his opposition to vaccines,[17] which he believes modify the DNA of people who are injected with them.[18]
In 2022, Fuentes appeared with Kanye West and Milo Yiannopoulos, joining West for his presidential campaign. He was present during several interviews with Alex Jones and Gavin McInnes, during which West bragged about his love for Hitler.
