Kevin DeAnna
Kevin DeAnna is an American far-right writer and activist.
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.
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.
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.
At the same time, DeAnna wrote hundreds of article for white nationalist publications under the pseudonyms "Gregory Hood" and "James Kirkpatrick". DeAnna has also published two books under these names.
At one point he was a member of the Wolves of Vinland.
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.
