From Charlottesville to Mar-a-Lago: Nick Fuentes’ White Nationalist Journey

Published December 6, 2022 By admin with Comments 1

Nick Fuentes’ first brush with infamy took place in his first semester as a freshman at Boston University when he appeared in a school video series, wearing a MAGA hat, to make his case for voting for Donald Trump in the upcoming 2016 election.

The video went viral, and the comment sections spiraled out of control as roasting him turned into threats of violence. Some students vowed to find Fuentes and “beat him up,” recalled Alec Dakin, who was part of a Libertarian group at Boston University called Young Americans for Liberty. In response, a squadron of “4chan-type people” rallied to Fuentes’ defense and began handing threats back, said Dakin.
