Nick Fuentes



You know what? You know what our problem is? The fertility rates. We need to be making more beautiful white Christian babies. Enough is enough [...] You know what the problem is? All the Muslims coming into Europe. Everyday they poison our bodies with harmful chemicals, pollute our minds with sick, repetitive propaganda, and corrupt our souls with godless nihilism! Enough!

Nicholas Joseph "Nazi Nick" Fuentes is an American Nationalist alt-right traditionalist Catholic, Fascist, and neo-Nazi.

He operates and hosts the America First livestream podcast, which is currently hosted on a proprietary website after he was banned from both YouTube AND DLive. He previously co-hosted the Nationalist Review podcast with James Allsup, from its founding until January 16, 2018.

Views
For an introduction to Fuentes' political beliefs (centered around "Marxist infiltration", "rootless global elites", and "invasion by nonwhites"), we recommend his blogpost "The Villain America Needs﻿". He begins with an apocalyptic tale about impending doom of the country:

He proceeds to blame the evil liberals and multiculturalism:

And alleges that our entire culture has been "cucked" by some distant elites into believing scary untruths like "trans people exist" or "nonwhites are people too":

It doesn't get better from there.

Like many extremists on the far-right, Fuentes is a shitposter troll, in which he tries to disguise his extremely bigoted, racist, and sexist viewpoints using "irony", cartoonish memes and "just joking" banter. If advocating that someone should beat up their wife sounds like a "funny joke" to you, Fuentes is your type of "humorist".

Antisemitic/Islamophobic rant on Right Side Broadcasting
On April 2017, Nick Fuentes (then a host for RSBN) first argued that the First Amendment "was not written for Muslims":

He proceeded to argue that "globalists" and "the people behind CNN" should be killed, directly calling for and inciting political violence against reporters and several dozen media executives:

RSBN issued an apology, asserting that the above was said "in jest". He was later removed from RSBN.

In 2022, Fuentes went even further, condemning Protestants to second-class citizenship in his desire for the United States to become a Catholic theocracy:

Racialism
Fuentes genuinely believes that different races are not just biologically, but spiritually different. Fuentes calculated his own "spiritual whiteness" at 91%. A voluntary DNA test from 23&Me revealed his ancestry as 79% European and 14.8% Native American. Of course, some of his followers immediately told him Ancestry.com was better, as 23&Me "lied" to "mess with racists". The accuracy of these racial DNA tests are of unknown and unvalidated accuracy.

Fittingly, Fuentes also believes that "diversity is code word for anti-white".

White supremacy
Fuentes adamantly claims not to be a white supremacist, calling the term an "anti-white slur" and preferring to position himself as a "Christian conservative". Of course, this "cloaking" of his ideology fools few people (certainly not the US Justice Department.)

Unsurprisingly, white genocide and Great Replacement themes are very common in Fuentes' rhetoric.

Unite the Right rally attendance
Fuentes regrets attending the alt-right Unite the Right rally. Afterwards, Fuentes alleged that he faced death threats and left Boston University for Auburn University.

University "speaking engagements"
On March 6, 2019, Fuentes held a public event at Iowa State University in Ames, IA. Fuentes actually didn't have permission to speak in a University classroom, and was ejected by the police and sent to a designated Free Speech area. He delivered a speech in the cold at 8:00 PM to a group of mostly detractors. Two conservative student organizations located near the University both denied involvement, but the Iowa State Daily reported that the local Turning Point USA chapter was the most likely candidate. Incidentally, that TPUSA chapter had lost its Student Organization privileges in Fall 2018, explaining why Fuentes was kicked out by University police.

Holocaust denial
Nick Fuentes thinks the Holocaust didn't really happen that much. Speaking in an openly-published video about Adolf Hitler, a smiling, gleeful Fuentes spoke of "the two hundred to three hundred-thousand Jews that he killed during the Holocaust" and "those two hundred to three hundred-thousand Jews". This is a common Holocaust denial lie by Neo-Nazis to deliberately downplay the gigantic scale of the monstrous crime that was the Holocaust. The empirically-proven number of Jews murdered by Nazis is 5.6 to 6 million, which is 20 to 30 times larger than Fuentes' lie.

Radicalizing children to become secret Nazis
Nick Fuentes has recently started going further and further off the deep end by giving advice to radicalized right-wing extremists on how to avoid getting caught, telling children the following:

Dinosaurs
Masterson: Wait, you don't believe the Holocaust but you think the Bible's right about dinosaurs and humans living together? Fuentes: Correct, correct. Initially, he dipped his toe into the highly controversial issue of dinosaurs with some straight-up dino denial. He stated, "I find it hard to believe, about the dinosaurs. Y'know, look: okay, they say they got fossils? I just find it very hard to believe. Oh, like giant monsters? Giant reptiles walking on the planet? I'm the crazy one? [...] Y'know, let's call ALL the BS out — these giant fish and giant... giant, y'know, insects, and giant birds, and giant everything! What? That's retarded. [...] Catholic Groypers are gonna come up, beat the shit out of you with a Bible."

Later, he walked back the total dino denial, claiming he never denied that dinosaurs existed and was just asking questions about it to "trigger people". He switched his position to one of human–dinosaur coexistence, saying: "it's biblical, bro."

LGBT and homosexuality
Nick Fuentes believes there is an "LGBT agenda".

Fuentes claimed that half of homosexuals are pedophiles on a livestream, and said that Sam Hyde "did the numbers". However, Hyde is a troll comedian known for extreme jokes, who had earlier clarified that he had made the claim in an effort to troll people. In fact, a large study by the world renowned sexologist Ray Blanchard, which measured the blood flow in the penises of men who were shown images of underage boys and girls, found that gay men were no more likely to have pedophilic interests than straight men. Pedophilia is often mistakenly blamed on gay men since roughly a third of child sexual abuse victims are male. This is a logical fallacy, because most child abusers will molest a child of any gender given the opportunity. Since parents often guard their daughters from risk of abuse, child abusers will ultimately target boys due to ease of access and less risk of being caught. This is supported by the fact that the vast majority of identified perpetrators of the sexual abuse of boys are a heterosexually married relation of the victim. The rest are unrelated to the child, for example, a priest, teacher or authority figure who are also frequently heterosexually married. Since boys are 50% of the population and much less guarded, a child molester has more opportunity to victimize a male child.

In January 2020 Fuentes joined CatboyKami (cat boy), a YouTuber and alt-right personality, in a day-long livestream. The catboy date generated controversy online, with many Fuentes fans speculating on Fuentes sexuality. Neo-Nazi Richard Spencer went on an angry rant about Fuentes' appearance in the livestream with catboy.

Fuentes apparently hates homosexuals and women so much that he was able to overcome his hatred of Muslims to side with the Taliban, pointing out that the group opposes "abortion, vaccines, and gay marriage".

Pedophilia
After was hit with allegations of a sexual relationship with a seventeen-year-old girl, Fuentes asserted that it was OK because "it's very traditional" and repeatedly asserted that it was just a relationship with a large age gap. He also claimed that the age of consent is a radical feminist invention, rather than an important tool used to safeguard children, and that the only problem was that it was premarital.

Vaccines
Fuentes supports the Taliban's prohibition on vaccines, believing that they're part of a conspiracy to poison the American people. He has also referred to the coronavirus vaccine as "gene therapy" and linked it to the spread of AIDS. He once threatened to take up arms against anyone who tries to give him a vaccine.

America First Political Action Conference
Ordinary GOP conferences, like the once sober and serious but now populist, ideological and culturally reactionary, aren't extremist enough for Fuentes. Instead, Fuentes and his fan base (who call themselves "Groypers" due to, naturally, a 4chan meme involving Pepe the Frog) have, since 2020, organized an alternative event to CPAC called the America First Political Action Conference. The conference, according to its website, offers a chance for "true patriots" to "mingle with like-minded Americans fighting to save this nation." According to the ADL, what this event is really about is a gathering for those who wish to normalize white nationalism and other extremist views (such as homophobia, misogyny, antisemitism, racialism, and extremist anti-immigration viewpoints) into the conservative movement.

The event has attracted the sort of noxious GOP speakers that you would expect, e.g. politicians long associated with white nationalist and/or extremist anti-immigrant rhetoric, such as Paul Gosar, Steve King, Michelle Malkin, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Other guests include racists such as Jared Taylor, alt-right trolls such as Baked Alaska and Milo Yiannopoulos, and assholes such as Joe Arpaio.

The event, and particularly the appearance of national GOP politicians at them, have often aroused controversy due to the extremist rhetoric at the event, especially the rhetoric coming out of Fuentes. In 2021, Fuentes wailed about America losing its "white demographic core" and defended the participants of the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot, even proclaiming that "we need a little bit more of" the sort of "energy" displayed by the insurrectionists. In 2022, Fuentes complained about diversity in America, stating that America's secret sauce was "young white men". He then praised Vladimir Putin for his unprompted invasion of Ukraine that was happening while the 2022 AFPAC event was going on, leading to a chant of "Putin! Putin!" from the crowd. "Joking" about the general distaste for Putin's invasion in most non-white nationalist Western media, he even offered up a bit of coded praise for Adolf Hitler.

2021 coup attempt
Fuentes and fellow-Nazi Baked Alaska both participated in the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot that was incited by Donald Trump, and each separately livestreamed the destruction and theft that occurred. Subsequently, Fuentes was banned from DLive, the streaming website he had been using to host his "America First" podcast since being booted from YouTube. Fuentes claimed that he did not enter the Capitol building, but with all of the other lying that he does, we are skeptical to take him at his word. At the least, supporters of Fuentes with "America First" merchandise appeared in videos and photos captured inside the Capitol building during the event.

Twitter ban
Fuentes was banned from Twitter on July 9, 2021 at a time when he had more than 125,000 followers. His account was reinstated in January 2023, following the acquirement of the platform by Elon Musk. However, his reinstatement was very brief, and he was banned again less than a day later.

Modern-Day Debate appearance
In February 2022, Fuentes hosted AFPAC, a far-right, white nationalist convention alternative to CPAC. Several far-right pundits were hosted, from Jesse Lee Peterson to Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Fuentes praised Russia and Putin during his speech (even praising comparisons of Putin to Hitler).

In July 2022, Fuentes appeared on a debating panel on the channel Modern-Day Debate. The topic was "Is There a War on Men?", with Fuentes predictably arguing the "yes" side. His "arguments" in this debate included that the higher rate of autism diagnoses in men is evidence of a plot by the liberal elite to make men retarded through socialization, as well as that women are inherently stupider and more sinful than men. As a result, Fuentes claimed that he would never want a woman doing any highly-qualified job even if she was more qualified than all the men, to the point of claiming he "would rather get taken out and shot in the head" than be treated by a female doctor. In the same interview, he asserted that men have the right to beat and rape their wives because the Bible gives them authority over women, and claimed that all women will go to Hell.

In November 2022, Fuentes was seen associating himself with Kanye West, defending his anti-semitic remarks. In December 2022, Fuentes and West appeared in InfoWars with Alex Jones. West proceeded to make more anti-semitic remarks and praised Hitler and the nazis. Afterwards, West and Fuentes were in an interview with Gavin McInnes where they continued to deny the holocaust and praise Hitler, with Fuentes at one point bragging that "kids loved Hitler".
