Elliot Kline

Elliot Kline (born 1991), also known as Eli Mosley, is an American neo-Nazi, anti-semitic conspiracy theorist, con artist, and military impostor. He is the former head of Identity Evropa, and was a prominent organizer in the alt-right movement between 2017 and 2018. He is perhaps best known for pretending to be a combat veteran, a ruse that he carried out in order to gain respect and a leadership position in the neo-Nazi community. The exposure of Kline's lie, in a February 2018 New York Times documentary, led to widespread ridicule, both from among Kline's political opponents and his supporters.

While he was an activist, Kline drew attention for his highly explicit use of racial slurs and his celebration of violence against non-whites. On neo-Nazi podcasts, he openly laughed as he described "firing niggers and spics" in his entry-level HR job, and bragged about killing "muds" and "watching Muslims's brains sprayed on the wall" (a reference to his fabricated claims of service in the Iraq War). He was also a key figure behind the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, among other neo-Nazi rallies that Kline helped organize.

After he was personally discredited, Kline withdrew from political activism.

Kline graduated high school in 2010 then attended several colleges before dropping out without obtaining a degree. He later joined the Pennsylvania National Guard. In order to bolster his reputation, Kline later pretended that he had deployed to and fought in Iraq, when in fact his unit never left the state of Pennsylvania during his service.

Kline was part of the Proud Boys and helped organize the Unite the Right rally; after Kline condemned Jason Kessler's response to Heather Heyer's death, Kessler later tweeted that he "has done a coordinated smear job on me, from within the movement; that person is Eli Mosley, Elliott Kline. From the beginning he was fucking things up." Kline later became the head of Identity Evropa in August 2018.

Kline's pseudonym of Eli Mosley was inspired by Oswald Mosley.

Kline was jailed in January 2020 after failing to comply with document production related to a Unite the Right lawsuit filed on behalf of Virginia residents by Integrity First for America. He is being held at the Albemarle-Charlottesville County Regional Jail.
