Nick Shirley
Nick Shirley is an American right-wing YouTuber and self-described independent journalist with approximately 1.8 million YouTube subscribers. He is best known for a December 2025 viral video alleging widespread fraud at Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota, which received over 100 million views and prompted congressional testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. State officials and news organizations subsequently found his specific claims to be unsubstantiated, and he has more recently alleged fraud in California government-funded programs.
“Since 2008 California has spent $15 billion and has not connected a single city or laid a single track.”
“He shamed the mainstream media who's forgotten about investigative journalism, who forgot the ability to knock on a door and just ask a basic question.”
