Kevin DeAnna

Kevin DeAnna (born 1983[1]) is an American White nationalist writer, activist and podcaster.[2]

History

Early years

As a student at the College of William & Mary, he led the campus chapter of Young Americans for Freedom and helped edit a libertarian-leaning student paper, The Remnant.[3] After graduating he took a job at the Leadership Institute. Soon after, in 2006, he founded Youth for Western Civilization, which he led until 2012.[1]

Activism

Around 2012 DeAnna left the Leadership Institute for World Net Daily, where he wrote many articles over the next five years, mostly without a byline.[1] At the same time, DeAnna wrote hundreds of article for white nationalist publications under the pseudonyms "Gregory Hood" (writing for Radix Journal, Counter-Currents, American Renaissance, and others) and "James Kirkpatrick" (writing for VDARE). DeAnna has also published two books under these names.[3] He is a former member of the Wolves of Vinland.[4]

DeAnna has been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as one of the "main, ideological architects" of the American White nationalist movement in the 21st century. In his self-titled "White Nationalist Memo to White Male Republicans", he wrote that they should "fight for a country of [their] own". DeAnna has hosted a podcast produced by White nationalist organization American Renaissance.[2]

In the 2010s DeAnna dated former Breitbart editor Katie McHugh, who leaked some of their emails to the Southern Poverty Law Center after she left the alt right milieu.[3]
