America First Political Action Conference
American white nationalist and far-right political conference
The America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC AF-pak) was an annual white nationalist and far-right political conference. Founded in 2020 by political commentator Nick Fuentes, many of its attendees were supporters of his America First show. The conference was described by The Daily Dot as a "white nationalist alternative" to CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference. The Arizona Republic characterized it as an extremist rival of CPAC.
The conference hosted four elected officials as speakers: U.S. Congress members Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar, Arizona state senator Wendy Rogers, and lieutenant governor of Idaho Janice McGeachin.
Background
On December 21, 2019, in the wake of the "Groyper Wars", leaders of the Groyper movement held a speaking conference called the "Groyper Leadership Summit" in West Palm Beach, Florida. The event was invite-only and held at an undisclosed location. The date, location, and title of the event mirrored Turning Point USA's "Student Action Summit," a speaking event featuring conservatives including Ben Shapiro, who Fuentes would publicly confront outside the venue. In the confrontation, Fuentes said, "Ben, it's great to see you. Why did you give a 45-minute speech about me at Stanford? And you wouldn't even look in my direction." Shapiro did not respond as he walked into the venue.
