Previously, Fuentes worked as a host on the ''Right Side Broadcasting Network''; however, he was abruptly fired after making a statement on his show that the First Amendment is only meant for American citizens, not immigrants and foreigners, and that [[mainstream media]] networks, such as [[CNN]], should be held responsible for making people believe it was universal.

In July of 2021, Fuentes was banned from [[Twitter]]. This sparked backlash from many conservatives on social media, including [[mainstream conservative]]s, who took his side despite previously condemning him. This includes [[Ben Shapiro]], whom Fuentes had previously feuded with, and in 2019, tried to confront outside of a Turning Point USA conference in [[Florida]] over a 45-minute speech Shapiro had given about him<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHQDiPcBWEY</ref>. Fuentes received criticism for the confrontation, as Shapiro was with his family. Shapiro used his statement on Fuentes' ban to simultaneously attack Fuentes' views and defend his right to a public platform.

{{cquote|I have lost every friend I had in my home town, I have been doxed, threatened, blacklisted, targeted by Left and Right Wing journalists, banned from every bank and every major social media platform, I’ve been put on a federal no fly list and even though I have made small fortune, I had a large percentage of it seized by the federal government. Hit pieces have been written about me in the Washington Post, New York Times, Time Magazine and aired on MSNBC, Fox News, MTV, BBC, and Vice. I have been named as a personal enemy by Ben Shapiro, Steve Bannon, Kevin McCarthy, and Charlie Kirk. My name cannot be uttered on Fox News and people have lost their jobs for being photographed next to me.}}<ref>https://t.me/s/nickjfuentes#:~:text=In%20the%20process,next%20to%20me.</ref>
