A man making national headlines for shoving a black woman out of a Donald Trump rally in Louisville, Ky., Tuesday is the same man who organized a white nationalist conference in Harrisburg last month.

Matthew Heimbach made national news after a video of him pushing the Trump protester and shouting "leftist scum" at her went viral on social media.

The New York Daily News identified Heimbach, 24, in the video. And Heimbach, founder of the Traditionalist Youth Network, which the Southern Poverty Law Center deems a white nationalist group, has since admitted in a blog that he was one of the men shown pushing the woman.

Reviled racist Matthew Heimbach admits to pushing black woman at Trump rally, blames tension on Black Lives Matter

BY DAN GOOD NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Wednesday, March 2, 2016, 3:04 PM

Reviled white nationalist Matthew Heimbach admitted to pushing a black woman at a Tuesday Donald Trump rally in Louisville, Ky.

The racist hatemonger, 24, wrote a blog post about the encounter, in which he shoved the woman and repeatedly shouted, "leftist scum." The Daily News earlier identified Heimbach from video of the incident.

&quot Video) 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," he wrote in a post on the website for the Traditionalist Youth Network, a group that promotes white supremacy.

Our country protects even "unpleasant speech" to avoid a restriction on Free Speech. The government can restrict speech if it meets a multi-part test related to the government's need for the restriction. The most famous example is "you cannot shout "Fire" in a crowded theater!"

There is video of him doing it, he admits to doing it on FB. I would bet it meets most state's statutes for assault and battery. They need to pay for their crimes like anyone else. Just think how you would feel to be in her shoes. She needs protection, has to testify, the media will probably drive her crazy. This is tough for her no matter which way this plays out.

He joined the Orthodox Church, and then got himself excommunicated when the bishop found out about his racist blog.

So some of his friends went on an Orthodox forum to complain.

Which is where me and my friends told them to kiss our collective backsides.

The church's official stance is that racism and violence are sins. Period.

Erased initial post.



ETA: I was just reading that they're neonazis gay Russians. So it is a symbol with cocks and balls. I have no problem with them being gay, but I do have a problem with them being neonazis.

of value in his entire, pathetic life, so the only thing he can cling to as a point of "pride" is the color of this skin--an accident of birth that he had nothing to do with. These losers are attracted to Trump because Trump tells them that it's the fault of "those people" that their lives suck, not 1% crooks like him who've gamed the system so well that nobody but them have a chance to get ahead. It's so despicable, dishonest, and just plain wrong.

They identify with Trump--a rich vulgarian that speaks at a 3rd grade level, and whose thinking is more shallow than a kindergartener. The only thing that keeps me from drowning in despair and mourning for our future is that there are a lot more of us than there are of him. However, if we keep up this infighting and sniping at each other, it won't matter.
