Nicholas Joseph “Nick” Fuentes is an American paleoconservative political commentator, internet personality, radio show host, and livestreamer. He hosts the episodic livestream series America First with Nicholas J. Fuentes on Cozy.tv, which he began in 2017. and previously co-hosted the Nationalist Review podcast with James Allsup (not to be confused with National Review).
Education
Fuentes graduated from Lyons Township High School, and was president of the school's student council. In August 2017, he left Boston University after claiming he received "threats" for attending the white supremacist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.[5][18][19] He applied for transfer admission to Auburn University in fall 2017, but he did not confirm his enrollment on time.[
Career
On August 12, 2017, Fuentes flew from Chicago to Virginia to attend the Second Day of the 'Unite The Right' rally in Charlottesville to protest the removal of the Robert E. Lee Statue. Fuentes claimed that the majority of protesters in attendance were not KKK members nor were they Neo-Nazis.
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. He later left Boston University after receiving several death threats and declared that he wished to move to Auburn University.
Political views
Fuentes is a devout Catholic and self-described paleoconservative. He criticizes the establishment, the left and the right.
Controversy
On August 7, 2019, Fuentes got into a feud with Matt Walsh on Twitter over comments Walsh had made about a mass shooting by a suspected White Supremacist in which Walsh says that "white racist scumbags should be executed". Fuentes had made what detractors call an "Antisemitic outburst" on his show, America First, over the comments made by Walsh, who writes for The Daily Wire. Fuentes called Walsh derogatory terms and said that he "works for Jews", he is a "Race Traitor" and a "Shabbos Goy".
