Jaden Patrick McNeil (born May 17, 1999[1]) is an American white nationalist[2] and far-right[3] live-streamer. The Anti-Defamation League described McNeil as an “America First” Groyper.[4] He is most notable for being the former Turning Point USA chapter president of Kansas State University.[5] He is the founder and former president of America First Students.[6] McNeil was formerly treasurer of the nonprofit organization America First Foundation which organizes AFPAC (an annual conference associated with the Groyper movement) and other political events.[7][8] McNeil has since distanced himself from the Groypers and the movement’s leader, Nick Fuentes.[9]

Career

America First Students

In January 2020, Groyper and former leader of Kansas State University's Turning Point USA chapter Jaden McNeil formed the Kansas State University organization America First Students. The group, which shares a name with Nick Fuentes' America First podcast, is part of the Groypers.[10][11]

McNeil announced via Telegram his resignation as Treasurer of the America First Foundation in May 2022.[12][non-primary source needed]

George Floyd tweet

On June 25, 2020, one month after George Floyd was murdered by a police officer, McNeil posted to Twitter a tweet which purported to "congratulate" Floyd on being one-month drug free. After KSU condemned the tweet, staff and students of KSU called for McNeil to be expelled.[13] KSU's football team also boycotted the school due to the inaction from higher ups on reprimanding McNeil. McNeil remained unapologetic and was not expelled.[14] McNeil is no longer a student at KSU.[15]
