Rocky Suhayda

Rocky Joe Suhayda (born 1952)[4][5] is an American far-right activist,[6][7][8] who currently serves as Chairman of the American Nazi Party.[9][10] He has held the office since at least 2000.[11] He and his Party are based in Michigan.[12][13]

Suhayda graduated from Bentley High School in Livonia, Michigan, in 1969.[2] He worked in the shipping and receiving department of the Garden City Osteopathic Hospital.[2] Suhayda has run unsuccessfully for public office on several occasions, including for the Livonia School District and the Livonia City Council.[1][2][14]

Suhayda was a member of the World Union of Free Enterprise National Socialists and the National Association for the Advancement of White People,[15][2] and subsequently founded his own organization under the name of the American Nazi Party. Suhayda's organization claims a connection to the American Nazi Party founded by George Lincoln Rockwell in 1959,[16] but it is officially a separate entity.[17] He was a member of the National White People's Party in 1976, but resigned some point before 1979.[18] As of 1979, he was the Chairman of a 12-member group called The National Front.[18] Suhayda has stated that he represents a Livonia chapter of the Ku Klux Klan.[19]

Shortly after the September 11 attacks, Suhayda stated that "if we were one-tenth as serious as the bin Laden terrorists, we just might start getting somewhere."[20][21][22] In 2016, Suhayda stated on his radio show that a Donald Trump presidency could give American Nazis the chance to build a 'pro-white' political caucus similar to the Congressional Black Caucus.[23][24] He publicly supported the appointment of Steve Bannon to the position of chief strategist in Donald Trump's White House.[25][26]

Meanwhile, ANP Chairman Rocky Suhayda complains in another message that the terrorist attacks are "DISTRACTING us from the REAL STRUGGLE…the RACIAL STRUGGLE." According to Suhayda, it is "sad" to see how a "bunch of 'towel head/sand niggers' put our great 'White Movement' to SHAME." If American white supremacists were one tenth as serious as the terrorists, he says, "WE JUST MGHT START GETTING SOMEWHERE."
