Augustus Sol Invictus (Latin: majestic unconquered sun; born Austin Gillespie; July 31, 1983) is an American far-right politician, attorney, and white nationalist activist.
He was a headline speaker at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12, 2017, the white supremacist convergence that ended with three deaths.
He has represented Marcus Faella, former head of the white supremacist group the American Front, in court.
Invictus was a candidate for the Libertarian Party nomination in the United States Senate election in Florida, 2016.
His candidacy prompted the resignation under protest of local party chairman Adrian Wyllie.
He lost in the primary by a margin of around 50 points to Paul Stanton.
Invictus is the publisher of The Revolutionary Conservative, a publication with the stated aim of restoring the American Republic and defending Western civilization.
He was controversial within the Libertarian Party for his neo-fascist political views and history of racist associations.
He has been described by media reports as being associated with the alt-right movement.In April 2017, the Libertarian Party of Florida, following a successful mediation, issued a full retraction of the 2015 press release, stating "that it exceeded the mandate of the executive committee." In summer 2017, Invictus changed his party affiliation to Republican, announcing his candidacy for the 2018 United States Senate election in Florida.
