Source summary
WikipediaPatriot Front is an American white supremacist group. Part of the broader alt-right movement, the group split off from the neo-Nazi organization Vanguard America in the aftermath of the Unite the Right rally in 2017.
Patriot Front's aesthetic combines traditional Americana with fascist symbolism. Internal documents leaked to USA Today indicated it had approximately 540 members as of 2026. According to the Anti-Defamation League, the group generated 82% of reported incidents in 2021 involving distribution of racist, antisemitic, and other similar propaganda in the United States, comprising 3,992 incidents, in every continental state.
Patriot Front is led by Thomas Ryan Rousseau, who was a teenager when he founded the group. In 2017, Rousseau took control of Vanguard America's web and Discord server several weeks before the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which he participated as the leader of Vanguard America's contingent. Following the bad press arising from the rally, Rousseau rebranded Vanguard America as Patriot Front, writing in a Discord message "Vanguard America, as you know it, will now be the 'Patriots Front'", and that the focus and goals of the group would remain the same. Rousseau has been arrested repeatedly in connection with the group's activities.
