The Daily Beast reports:
Karen Amsden, mom of alleged Patriot Front member and Springville, Utah resident Jared Michael Boyce, said on Monday that her son has struggled to fill “a void” in his life ever since his father left the family years ago and came out as gay.
A licensed clinical social worker, Amsden said she’s going public in an attempt to sabotage his standing in the group, because her other attempts at convincing him to walk away from the far right have so far failed. Amsden said that after her son was released from jail, he told her he’d continue to stand with the group, so she delivered an ultimatum.
“I told him, ‘Well, then you can’t live here. You can choose between Patriot Front and your family.’ And he’s like, ‘Well, I can’t quit Patriot Front.’ I’m like, ‘Well, then you’ve just chosen. So pack your stuff and get out of my house.’”

Hello!! As promised I’d like to introduce you to Jared Boyce aka “Brohumrie Matey” from Springville, Utah! Jared here is a big fan of Patriot Prayer, and he is also a blatant anti-semite, racist, and homophobe.

While living in Utah in early August, 2018, Jared trekked all the way to Portland, Oregon to attend a Patriot Prayer rally. Patriot Prayer is known for its xenophobia, islamophobia, and antagonistic rallies across the Pacific Northwest. https://t.co/fKMqMUQWyE

When not in Portland waving his “Liberty or Death” and alt-right Kekistan flags, Jared loves to post bigoted things behind an online pseudonym. His Twitter is full of antisemitic and racist content and he went as far as to repost a statement condoning the Christchurch Massacre.

His Tiktok, which can be found on his Youtube, also threatens violence against LGBTQ+ people in a series of posts he calls “Anti-Alphabet”. He calls on right wingers, gamers, and christians to launch a “crusade against the alphabet people” (read LGBTQ+ people).

To top it all off, Jared can be found posting blatant white supremacy on the white supremacist 4Chan board /pol/. Notice his support for anti-semite Patrick Little. Oh, and he also wants to start a far right militia called Lady Liberty’s Minutemen (pick a better name Jared).

In one racist Twitter post, he slips up and shows in a screenshot his now deleted personal Facebook page under the name Jared Boyce. This name was confirmed by his wife’s birthday post to him on Facebook, which uses a picture of him from the Patriot Prayer rally.
