Reputed Patriot Front Regional Leader in NY/NJ/PA Outed by Antifa

Sure, fascists. Do all the flyering and flash mobs you want. But you gotta go back to your regular life sometime. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Kieran Patrick Morris of Poughkeepsie, NY!

NEW YORK, NY – NYC Antifa has released information on a reputed local leader of the neo-fascist group Patriot Front, who might have been among those responsible for a banner drop in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn in January, distributing Patriot Front flyers at a New Jersey Trump rally that same month and reportedly was a participant in the march and rally the group held in Washington, D.C. in February.

According to an article on the NYC Antifa website, Kieran Patrick Morris, 25, is the Network Director of Patriot Front for New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. When an Idavox article about the Bay Ridge action was published featuring a video of the stunt as well as pictures of a blue pickup, its New York license plate was traced to Morris home with his family in Poughkeepsie, NY and photographs from social network accounts were able to help identify him further as the one that encountered Right Wing Watch’s Jared Holt at a January 28 rally in Wildwood, NJ and as one of the participants in a march that Patriot Front organized in Washington, DC a few weeks later. Patriot Front members attempt to conceal their identities in their videos and pictures, but Morris appearances in them was determined by his style of haircut and boots.

The video and pictures from the Bay Ridge outing were seen in local television news, but the two shown in the photographs have not been publicly identified.

From his social media presence on neo-Nazi discussion boards, Morris, who says he was a drug addict and alcoholic before he started to be involved in hate politics, appears to have attempted to join the terrorist group Atomwaffen, corresponding regularly with its co-founder Brandon Russell, who days later was arrested for the illegal possession of explosives in his Florida apartment, a charge that has him currently serving five years in prison. Morris also played in the Hudson Valley Rugby group sometime last year.

Patriot Front is an offshoot of American Vanguard, an organization that was prominent in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville three years ago. They are known for their flyering and postering around the country and last year, three of its associates, Matthew Wolf, 26, of Lowell, MA Tylar Larson, 18, of Rochester, NY, and Christopher Hood, 20, were arrested for attacking a police officer who approached them about them posting. Morris is known for using the Twitter account @ForwardPatriots to promote their activity, and ironically, that was where a lot of photographs were found that was able to be used to identify him.

In the wake of the doxxing, Thomas Rosseau, the founder and leader of Patriot Front, tweeted a statement today that seems to be in response. “The Feds won’t stop us,” he wrote. State and local pigs won’t stop us. Lying reporters won’t stop us. Doxxes won’t stop us either. We can lose our jobs and be ostracized by “friends” and “Family” but we will keep pressing on.”

An action by Patriot Front was rumored to take place somewhere in Pennsylvania today. It is not known at this time where of if it indeed took place.
