White nationalists involved in physical altercation with protesters at Trump rally
Matthew Heimbach, supporters, engage in pushing and shouting match with African American counter-protesters at Super Tuesday Trump rally
White nationalists and racists are not only boldly showing support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, but at a Super Tuesday rally in Louisville, Kentucky they actually got involved in physical violence with counter-protesters.
was Matthew Heimbach, founder of the Traditionalist Youth Network and its companion white nationalist organization, the Traditionalist Workers Party. He calls himself 鈥渃hairman of the only true Third Position Party in the United States that is fighting for Faith, family and folk.鈥�
Heimbach, fired a few weeks ago by the State of Indiana as a child protective services case worker, now apparently has time on his hands to devote to supporting political candidates, including Trump.
At Tuesday鈥檚 Trump rally, the youthful white nationalist from Indiana and some of his supporters engaged in a free-for-all shoving and shouting match with counter-protesters, some reportedly affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement.
鈥淗onestly, I had planned to merely attend [the Trump rally] as an idle spectator, but the protesters were as hostile as anything I鈥檝e seen at actual [white] nationalist events,鈥� Heimbach said in writing about the incident.
When Trump began speaking, Heimbach said he couldn鈥檛 stand by quietly when BLM counter-protesters 鈥渟tarted screaming and chanting.鈥�
鈥淭he entire point of the BLM鈥檚 tactics is to push people until they push back,鈥� Heimbach claimed.
鈥淭hey鈥檝e actually convinced themselves that听these rank-and-file Trump supporters and even Trump himself are synonymous with the Klan, or at least听with outright nationalists like myself,鈥� Heimbach said.
鈥淲e听responded to their chants with chants of our own to attempt to drown them out and did so successfully several times,鈥� Heimbach said. 鈥淏ut听they ratcheted up their aggression.鈥�
That鈥檚 when he and other pro-Trump supporters got involved in the 鈥渉eated moment鈥� with counter-protesters captured on videos now making the rounds online.
鈥淥ne [video clip] features yours truly helping the crowd drive out one of the women who had been pushing, shoving, barking, and screaming at the attendees for the better part of an hour,鈥� Heimbach said.
Not only did Heimbach and his white nationalist friends help push African American protesters out of the rally crowd, they also grabbed some of their anti-Trump signs. They took trophy photos of their 鈥渂ooty鈥� and posted it to the Traditional Youth account: 鈥淏ehold our booty of anti- swag from today's 谤补濒濒测...鈥�
Heimbach now modestly says he鈥檒l avoid any future Trump rallies 鈥渢o ensure that I don鈥檛 become a distraction,鈥� he said.
鈥淚t won鈥檛 be me next time, but White Americans are getting fed up and they鈥檙e learning that they must either push back or be pushed down,鈥� Heimbach said.
