AG cut ties with Nick after that trip because Nick was being a lazy pussy. There's nothing more to it. Here's the story: Nick and the team arranged this big New York trip in November 2021, bringing Nick, AG, Simon, their best interns, and later linking up with NY Groypers like Tenryo and also Tyler Russell. The mission was to get footage of confrontations in stores over masking; by getting in huge heated fights in stores, they could get awesome footage and generate some energy and sentiment against mask mandates. They had plenty of people to do this. Tenryo and Simon and AG and the other guys were ready to roll hard, but Nick was really not able to keep up. He was yelling at the groypers to put their masks on, he was tense, he didn't even want to leave the hotel room... And so Nick and Simon and everyone looked at each other and made the judgement that Nick Fuentes was in fact not Hitler II, III, or IV. They were in NY for a week and the entire time Nick was being like this. And then yeah he wanted to wear the gimp mask and that was the final straw I believe. Also this the point in the story where Nick goes full femboy.
