Elliott Kline (born 1991), also known as Eli Mosley, is an American neo-Nazi and military impostor.[1][2][3] He is the former leader of Identity Evropa, and was a prominent organizer in the alt-right movement between 2017 and 2018. He was also a key figure behind the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which was one of several neo-Nazi rallies that Kline helped organize.
The New York Times revealed in February 2018 that Kline had lied about his military service. Specifically, Kline had pretended to be a combat veteran of Iraq when in fact he had been stationed in Pennsylvania throughout this time in the military.[3] Following the revelation of his lie, Kline withdrew from political activism.[4]
