The America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC; /æfpæk/ AF-pak) is an annual political conference attended by members of the America First movement and supporters of Nick Fuentes, also known as Groypers. The conference was established as a far-right alternative to CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference,[1] and has been described by some as white nationalist.[2]
History
