“The reason I wouldn’t call myself a white nationalist — it’s not because I don’t see the necessity for white people to have a homeland and for white people to have a country,” Fuentes said. “It’s because I think that kind of terminology is used almost exclusively by the left to defame and I think the terminology and the labels that we use — I don’t think that we can look at them outside of the context of their connotations in America.”

So yeah he doesnt call himself that. Were the Founding Fathers white nationalists?

Benjamin Franklin counted most Europeans as too swarthy to immigrate. Almost all other Founding Fathers agreed that only whites should be citizens and imagined citizenship would never be granted to anyone besides whites. Fuentes's position is far more moderate if he is a white nationalist the the Founding Fathers are.

An accurate definition of a white nationalist is someone for whom citizenship is dependent on ethnicity, where other groups would be stripped of citizenship and perhaps even removed. Nick does not say non whites should be stripped of citizenship, he does not say only whites should be in the US, but it should be recocognised that at its core it's a white nation. Just as Russia is despite the long presence of other groups. Hence he would have Jon Miller and Michelle Maulkin on stage, where as no white nationalist would.

He's never subscribed to white nationalism, which as he said is mostly used as a smear to lable consevatives like Steve Bannon, John Miller all the best people in Trumps cabinet etc.
