Last updated

American Patriots Three Percent, also known as AP3 or APIII, is a far-right American militia group that identifies itself as part of the Three Percenters movement. [1]

The organization has used social media including Facebook as a recruiting tool. [2] An information leak from a right-wing website in 2021 has led to the identification of many members from the organization. [3]

Scot Seddon founded the organization during Barack Obama's first presidential term. [1] Seddon used TikTok to recruit new members in July 2024 following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. [4]
