Nick Adams (commentator)

Nick Adams (born Nicholas Adamopoulos) is an Australian-born American conservative political commentator and author.

Adams came to wide public attention on March 3, 2017, when Donald Trump made favorable comments and tweets about his work, notably a tweet promoting Adam's book Green Card Warrior[1] and a second tweet on August 25, 2017 promoting his book Retaking America.[2][3]

Early life and education

Adams' father is a Greek Australian. [4] Adams survived childhood cancer diagnosed at 16 months of age.[5] Adams went to university at the University of Sydney.[5][3] He was elected as one of the youngest deputy mayors of Ashfield at the age of 21, while still attending university.[5]

Career

Adams was elected to the Ashfield, Australia council in 2004 on the Young Liberals ticket.[6] He was elected under a loophole which allowed Adams as a non resident to run for elections.[7] He was criticized for often missing council meetings because he was traveling the American speaking circuit as a motivational speaker.[6] In October 2006, Adams was "formally condemned by fellow Councillors after racking up thousands of dollars worth of phone calls and Cabcharges for personal benefit."[8]

In 2009, he was given a six-month suspension from the Liberal Party of Australia for conduct deemed likely to "embarrass or cause damage to" the Party during an altercation with Brett Mason, a journalist for Channel Ten who was filming a report on Mr Adams' absences from the council due to overseas travel when Adams confronted him, stating, "I would just like to say that Brett Mason is a [expletive] good-for-nothing [expletive]. Thank you."[6][9][10][11]

Adams denounced multiculturalism, saying "It creates groups and pockets of people that of course, then feel that there are certain elements of superiority and inferiority and I think that we need to be united."[9]

In addition to appearing on Fox News and other conservative media outlets, Adams has been a columnist for Townhall.com and a "Centennial Institute Policy Fellow" at Colorado Christian University.
