Fuentes was raised in
La Grange Park, Illinois, and held mainstream
conservative views while attending high school. He began political activism in 2016 after graduating, voiced support for
Donald Trump, and started the episodic live stream
America First in 2017. He attended the 2017
Unite the Right rally. In 2019, Fuentes's followers heckled
Charlie Kirk and
Turning Point USA events, referred to as the "
Groyper War", to push for more extreme right-wing positions. In 2020, he established the
America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), a white nationalist alternative to rival
CPAC.
In 2021, Fuentes spoke at events preceding the
January 6 United States Capitol attack. In 2022, Fuentes and
Kanye West had a private dinner with Donald Trump. In 2024, Fuentes launched "
Groyper War 2" against Trump's
2024 presidential campaign; using memes, trolling, and protests. Fuentes faced widespread deplatforming from major social media, streaming, and financial services between 2020 and 2023, primarily for violating hate speech policies and involvement with January 6.
