Daniel Kleve is a member of the white nationalist group, Vanguard America. Kleve attended the Unite the Right rally as a member of VA, and provided private security.

Vanguard America is a white supremacist group that opposes multiculturalism and believes the U.S. is an exclusively white nation. Using a right-wing nationalist slogan, Blood and Soil, VA romanticizes the notion that people with “white blood” have a special bond with “American soil.” This philosophy first originated in Germany (as Blut und Boden) and was later popularized by Hitler’s regime. In the same vein, VA uses “For Race and Nation” as a variant slogan. James Fields was also a member of Vanguard America. Fields was the driver of the car that rammed into an anti-racist march in Charlottesville, VA on August 12, killing Heather Heyer, and injuring 19 others.

Previously known as American Vanguard – and before that, Reaction America – before joining the Nationalist Front, a confederation of hate groups co-led by Jeff Schoep, the leader of the neo-Nazi Nationalist Socialist Movement, and Matthew Heimbach, the leader of the Traditionalist Workers Party. Vanguard America gained their first taste notoriety when Anti-Fascist Action Nebraska outed their National Deputy Director, Cooper Ward of Omaha, NE, and another student in the University of Nebraska-Omaha school system. Ward dropped out of UNO on January 18, the same day thousands of flyers with his face and neo-Nazi connects were made public on campus. Ward also left, The Daily Shoah, a popular fascist podcast he co-hosted on The Right Stuff radio network.
