Nick Fuentes
Nick Fuentes [Nicholas Joseph Fuentes] was arrested for battery in 2024. He has celebrated violence, glorified Hitler and Stalin, as well as promoted white supremacy, and mocked the Holocaust.
Fuentes has spread antisemitism and antisemitic conspiracy theories, promoted racism, homophobia and misogyny. He has also spread hatred of Israel and Zionism, as well as America and the police.
In 2017, Fuentes began hosting a political live stream called “America First.” The show debuted on the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN), which dropped Fuentes days after his participation in a white supremacist rally.
As of November 2025, "America First" was hosted by the streaming site cozy.tv.
In 2020, Fuentes founded the America First Foundation (AFF). In February 2021, he organized the annual America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC). As of November 2025, the AFF gab.com page said the organization had 501(c)(4) nonprofit foundation tax status.
Fuentes’s supporters are collectively known as “Groypers” or the “Groyper Army,” which takes its name from a white nationalist meme.
In 2022, Fuentes was placed on the federal no-fly list in the United States. He has also been banned from many social media platforms since March 2021.
In 2017, Fuentes reportedly dropped out of Boston University (BU) during his freshman year.
In December 2024, Fuentes was reportedly located in Berwyn, Illinois.
On December 6, 2024, Chicago Sun-Times reported that Fuentes was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery on November 27, 2024, after a woman accused him of "pepper spraying her and [pushing] her down the front steps of his…home."
The victim of the assault reportedly came to confront Fuentes at his home after he posted a message on X that : "Your body, my choice. Forever."
Also on December 6, 2024, Fuentes posted on X, referring to his arrest: “Free me ni**a.”
The woman later filed a criminal complaint against Fuentes. However, the prosecution agreed to drop the charge against Fuentes if he completed an anger management class and 75 hours of community service, paid $635 to the victim and apologize to her in court. The next hearing in the case was scheduled for December 2025.
On February 27, 2021, Fuentes was featured in a YouTube video in which he spoke [00:58:01] about his experience observing the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots in Washington, D.C.
Fuentes said [00:58:06]: “I saw hundreds of thousands of patriots surrounding the U.S. Capitol building and I saw the police retreating…I said to myself, ‘This is awesome!’”
Fuentes continued [00:59:51]: “And so to see that Capitol under siege, to see the people of this country rise up and mobilize to D.C. with the pitchforks and the torches. We need a little bit more of that energy in the future.”
On August 12, 2017, Fuentes reportedly attended the “Unite The Right” rally.
The “Unite the Right” rally took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12, 2017, with many far-right groups participating such as the National Socialist Movement (NSM) and League of the South (LS). White nationalist leader Richard Spencer organized the rally to protest the planned removal of a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee. Violence erupted at the rally, with one counterprotester killed and at least 33 others injured.
On August 19, 2017, Fuentes reportedly said about the rally: “I thought it was an important moment for this segment of the Right Wing…to come together in a show of solidarity for our cause.”
On April 19, 2017, in an RSBN YouTube segment, Fuentes said [00:01:06]: “Who runs the media? Globalists. Time to kill the globalists…I don't want CNN to go out of business…I want people that run CNN to be arrested and deported or hanged…”
On October 27, 2025, Fuentes was featured in an interview with Tucker Carlson, posted on YouTube, in which he said [01:34:34]: "...December 18...that's an important day to me. It's Joseph Stalin's birthday. I'm a fan...an admirer. But we don't need to go into that."
Joseph Stalin (1878-1953) was the communist dictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) from 1929-1953. At least 20 million died as a result of his policies, while upper estimates are around 60 million.
On May 9, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "All major streaming platforms have banned 'Heil Hitler'” by Ye...Doesn’t that prove him right?"
In the fall of 2022, influential American rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, sparked controversy for spreading [00:01:02, 00:04:37] anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and threatening Jews online. Videos of Ye proclaiming [00:00:25] his admiration for Hitler and engaging [00:02:42, 00:03:37] in Holocaust denial went viral. Following his comments, several brands and companies terminated their contracts with him.
On November 15, 2024, Fuentes referred on X to "the heroic last stand of Adolf Hitler."
On September 4, 2024, Fuentes posted on X: "World War 2 was 80 years ago, yet people are still afraid to question the big narrative regarding Hitler because they know they will be punished with a vengeance by the Jews..."
On August 3, 2024, Fuentes posted on X: "I love Hitler > drill baby drill."
"Drill, baby, drill!" was a 2008 Republican campaign slogan in support of increased drilling for oil and gas in the U.S. Donald Trump repeatedly used the phrase during his 2024 presidential campaign and at his 2025 inaugural address.
On May 21, 2025, Fuentes posted on X, referring to U.S. president Donald Trump: "...When will he talk about the White Genocide happening in America?"
The assertion that there is a “White Genocide” is a conspiracy theory propagated by white supremacists, who often claim that the Jews are responsible for this genocide.
On May 16, 2019, Fuentes was featured in a video posted on YouTube, in which he said [00:03:18]: “You know what our problem is? The fertility rates. We need to be making more beautiful white Christian babies. Enough is enough…the problem is…All the Muslims coming into Europe.”
On October 1, 2018, Fuentes was featured in a YouTube video, in which he promoted [00:00:32] the idea of there being a “white genocide” in America.
Fuentes said [00:00:50]: “If we had the restoration of a core American identity centered around ethnicity and race, well, we would tend to regard not-whites as outsiders and there might be backlash against them. And, to me, that’s almost inevitable…”
Fuentes continued [00:01:17]: “We have no identity and it’s just gang rape on America by the third world. It’s horrible. Everybody loses.”
On October 30, 2019, Fuentes was featured in a video posted on X in which he compared Holocaust victims with cookies baked in an oven.
Fuentes discussed [00:00:01] whether one could bake 6 million batches of cookies in 15 ovens, each taking an hour to bake, cooking 24 hours a day every day for 5 years.
Fuentes then said [00:00:37]: “I don’t know, it certainly wouldn’t be 5 years, right, the math doesn’t seem to add up there…I don’t think you’d result in 6 million, maybe 200-300,000 cookies…”
Fuentes further said [00:01:48]: “It just kinda doesn’t really make sense, this crazy cookie analogy...That's sort of an esoteric story...So 6 million cookies? Eh, eh, I don’t buy it…”
On October 15, 2020, Fuentes posted on X: “My favorite comedy routine is when they grill me about whether or not I believe 6,000,000 Jews died in the Holocaust and if I feel sorry about it and then…scream at me that I should be ashamed for being a mean person.”
On December 5, 2022, Fuentes posted on Telegram: “Jewish People: Forgive Hitler today. Let it go. Goodnight.”
On July 30, 2024, Fuentes posted on X: "[Trump] *dined with two people who are unburdened by what has been (the holocaust)." He was referring to a dinner he and American rapper Ye (Kanye West) had with U.S. president Donald Trump in 2022.
On August 7, 2024, Fuentes posted on X: "...Jews run the media and the holocaust is their religion."
The assertion that Jews control the media has been traced to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic fabricated text that depicts wealthy Jews conspiring to take over the world.
On March 20, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "Ben Shapiro says it doesn’t matter who kills [sic] Kennedy because it happened a long time ago...But if you dare mock or question the Holocaust…"
Ben Shapiro is a Jewish-American conservative political commentator.
On November 5, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "The year is 2025 and the conservative movement is still being held hostage by lunatic Israel-First Jews literally screaming about Hitler and Nazis..."
The term “Israel-Firster” is an anti-Semitic slur used against Jews to accuse them of dual loyalty. The term also applies to non-Jews to allege they are more loyal to Israel than to their own countries.
On October 27, 2025, Fuentes was featured in an interview with Tucker Carlson, posted on YouTube, in which he said [00:58:41]: "...neoconservatism and Israel has [sic] nothing to do with Jewishness, Jewish identity, the Jewish religion. Because, clearly, the State of Israel and the neocons are deeply motivated by that ethnic identity. And their allegiance to Israel proceeds from that. You know, the plan of Greater Israel, the blood and soil nationalism of Israel. It stems from this ethno-religion, which is Judaism."
“Greater Israel” is a conspiracy theory which claims that Israel plans to expand its territory to encompass most of the Middle East and chunks of North Africa.
"Blood and soil" was a core slogan of Nazi ideology.
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) highlights as one possible contemporary example of anti-Semitism: “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.” The U.S. State Department adopted the IHRA’s working definition of anti-Semitism in 2016. Over 40 countries have adopted the definition as well.
On August 19, 2025, Fuentes posted on X a graphic with text that read: "JEWS DO NOT ASSIMILATE. THEY AGGREGATE, INFILTRATE, & CONQUER. THAT'S THE PLAN."

On February 17, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "These Youtube [sic] ads on the TV app that you have to skip twice are the most Jewish thing I’ve ever seen in my life."
On January 22, 2025, Fuentes posted on X regarding U.S. president Donald Trump's new policies after he was elected for his second term: "I am seriously concerned...that there will be a crackdown on 'antisemitism...'"
On November 14, 2022, Fuentes posted on Telegram: “Jews have too much power in our society. Christians should have all the power, everyone else very little.”
On November 2, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "Last night, the Israel First Lobby officially declared war against America First..."
The “Israel Lobby” is a conspiracy theory alleging Israeli and Jewish control over the U.S. government. Proponents of the theory decry the negative effects on American interests, particularly in foreign policy.
On October 27, 2025, Fuentes was featured in an interview with Tucker Carlson, posted on YouTube, in which he said [01:17:34], referring to American nationalism: "I would say, though, that the main challenge to that, a big challenge to that, is organized Jewry in America...if you're serving in another country's military or have dual citizenship, you really can't be a part of this project."
On September 19, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "...I have been completely consistent for 7 years that Charlie Kirk, as a top cheerleader for the Zionist-controlled GOP, is totally beholden to the Israel Lobby. I believed that before he was murdered and I still believe that..."
Charlie Kirk was a conservative activist and entrepreneur who was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. One of the messages written on the bullet casing used to assassinate Kirk read: "Hey, fascist. Catch!"
On August 12, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "...Trump taking over cities with federal police...just feels like he is creating a secret police for Israel."
On June 22, 2025, Fuentes posted on X an image captioned "GREATER ISRAEL MAP" and wrote: "America is being killed so that an Israeli Empire can be born."
Also on June 22, 2025, Fuentes posted on X regarding the election of U.S. president Donald Trump to his second term: "...You gleefully supplied the votes for another ZOG trojan horse. You were tricked. You fell for it. And now you reap."
ZOG stands for Zionist Occupied Government, an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that claims Jews secretly control Western governments. The phrase is frequently used by anti-Semitic and white nationalist groups.
On June 18, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "In June 1963, JFK [former U.S. president John F. Kennedy] threatened to cut ties with Israel if it did not allow the US to inspect its nuclear program...Months later, JFK was assassinated & Israel acquired a nuclear bomb."
On June 16, 2025, Fuentes posted on X, referring an Israeli operation against Hezbollah and the September 11, 2001, terror attacks when Al Qaeda murdered nearly 3,000 people in New York City. Fuentes wrote: "If Israel could plant explosives in Hezbollah’s pagers...Is it crazy to think they could plant explosives inside the Twin Towers on 9/11?"
On September 17, 2024, thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah terrorists exploded in Lebanon. With regard to casualties, “Twelve persons were reportedly killed…[and] Nearly 3,000 were injured.” Israel admitted responsibility for the attacks in November 2024.
On March 7, 2025, Fuentes referred on X to "Israeli AIPAC money in politics" and "Israeli intelligence subversion of the US."
The stated mission of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is to “strengthen, protect and promote the U.S.-Israel relationship in ways that enhance the security of the United States and Israel.”
The implication that AIPAC buys political support for Israel has been described as playing into “anti-Semitic tropes” that led to “centuries of stereotypes about Jews using money to control the world.”
On January 23, 2025, Fuentes posted on X, referring to United States vice president JD Vance: "JD Vance’s fat a** is owned by Israel."
On December 15, 2024, Fuentes posted on X: “Zionist shills are going crazy...They know the American people are waking up to the reality of our occupied government and will do anything to silence the people exposing it.”
The term shill is used by white nationalists and conspiracy theorists to refer to someone who pretends to be one of them, but in reality, covertly works for their opponents to discredit said conspiracies.
On October 7, 2024, Fuentes posted on X: “It is now obvious that October 7th was either staged or taken advantage of in order to justify Israel’s unfolding regional war to destroy Iran and its proxies. Countless dead, billions in economic destruction— when will it be enough for this murderous regime?”
On October 7, 2023, Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped hundreds and wounded thousands. War crimes included mass rape and torture. Many Palestinian civilians participated in and supported the attacks, and Gazans working in the targeted Israeli communities gave intelligence to Hamas on where to strike.
For more information, see the Canary Mission page on Hamas.
Denial of the Hamas war crimes of October 7, 2023, among anti-Israel activists has been likened to Holocaust denial among neo-Nazis.
On September 11, 2024, Fuentes posted on X: "Everyone knows that 9/11 was a false flag created to justify surveillance and a global war. But the element that no one is allowed to mention is the role of Israel and the Jewish neocons in the American elite. Israel was the main beneficiary of 9/11."
On October 27, 2025, Fuentes was featured in an interview with Tucker Carlson, posted on YouTube, in which he said [01:58:44]: "And I think a lot of men are looking at women, and they're very liberal, they're overweight, they have a very high estimation of themselves...So a lot of people are looking at these like frumpy, obnoxious, loudmouth, liberal women who are also very promiscuous, and saying: 'This is not actually appealing at all...'"
On July 14, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "LOL no more female cops please."

On September 23, 2019, Fuentes was featured in a video posted on Bitchute, in which he said [00:02:39] regarding Jim Crow segregation: “Enough with the Jim Crow stuff…they had to drink out of a different water fountain, big f**king deal...Oh, no, they had to go to a different school…even if it was bad, who cares?...We all agree it was better for them, it’s better for us, it’s better in general.”
On May 11, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "Israel...wants to continue the genocide in Gaza and force the US into a war with Iran. This is a rogue state that does not share our values or our interests..."

On November 27, 2024, Fuentes posted on X: “Israel has no intention of making peace. They’re just waiting for Trump to take office because he will let them genocide Palestinians and bomb Iran even more than Biden did. They’ve been waiting since October 7th.”

On September 17, 2024, Fuentes posted on X: “Israel is a terrorist nation with nukes holding America hostage.”
On May 13, 2024, Fuentes posted on X equating Israel with Hamas, writing: "Israel and Hamas both use terrorist tactics which are completely intolerable to any Christian."
Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S., Canada, European Union, Israel and other countries. Founded in 1987, it has killed thousands of Israeli civilians through mass shootings and suicide bombings. Hamas has also kidnapped children, families and the elderly and held them hostage in Gaza. It has desecrated [slide 7] dead bodies and launched numerous rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.
On March 15, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "Zionism and the Jewish religion are inherently exclusionary, identitarian, and supremacist..."
On February 17, 2025, Fuentes posted on X: "...Zionism is contingent on subordination of America’s interests to Israel’s survival."
