Jaden Patrick McNeil (born May 17, 1999) is an American far-right activist and online streamer. Known for his controversial takes on society and politics, his views lean heavily into white nationalism, often cloaked under the guise of "America First" rhetoric, focusing on themes like closed borders, strong Christian values, and traditional families. McNeil has stirred significant controversy with insensitive remarks about George Floyd and Black Lives Matter, which led to widespread condemnation and calls for his expulsion from Kansas State University.
In 2021, the Anti-Defamation League described McNeil as an "America First" Groyper. He is most notable for being the former Turning Point USA chapter president of Kansas State University. He is the founder and former president of America First Students. McNeil was formerly treasurer of the America First Foundation, a nonprofit organization which organizes AFPAC (an annual conference associated with the Groyper movement) and other political events.
He was described by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a "sidekick personality" of Nick Fuentes. In May 2022, he broke ties with Fuentes and the Groyper movement. During a podcast, McNeil stated that after "years as a loyal footsoldier to Fuentes," he was left with "no money, no friends, and no prospects" due to this association.
