James Orien Allsup (born September 7, 1995) is an American white supremacist, neo-Nazi, and former political commentator and podcaster.[2][3][4][5][6]

In 2015, Allsup began his participation in politics when he was elected president of Washington State University's chapter of the College Republicans. In August 2017, Allsup attended the white supremacist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.[7] After the rally turned violent, he resigned as president of the College Republicans at WSU in 2017, before being re-elected later in November of the same year.[8] He was unable to take the position per university rules as he was set to graduate.[8] He was a member of the American Identity Movement, a white nationalist, Identitarian, and neo-Nazi organization, until it disbanded in 2020.[9][10][11] In August 2019, Allsup's Instagram and Facebook accounts were deleted. According to Facebook, this was "for violating our policies against dangerous organizations and individuals". His YouTube channel was also demonetized around this time.[12] Several days later, the channel was one of several which were deleted from YouTube by Google as part of a policy shift to remove content affiliated with white supremacy.[13][14] At the time it was deleted, the channel had more than 450,000 subscribers. After previously claiming to not be a white supremacist, fascist, or neo-Nazi, in September 2019 Allsup co-hosted a podcast on the neo-Nazi network The Right Stuff.[15]

In June 2018, he ran unopposed and was elected as a Precinct Committee Officer for Precinct 129 of the Whitman County, Washington Republican Party.[16][17] On January 7, 2019, the Whitman County Republican Central Committee voted unanimously to eject Allsup from the party, to not recognize his vote on the committee, and to withdraw his voting seat.
