There are so many things to know about Heimbach and why his neo-nazi ideology is a threat to any community he encroaches. He’s been around the white nationalist movement for over a decade, after he started the White Student Union at his college in Maryland in 2012 and the hits just keep coming:
Heimbach founded Traditionalist Workers Party, a hate group. The group imploded when Matt was caught cheating on his wife Brooke with her stepmother, Jessica, who is the wife of the Party’s co-founder, also named Matt. When Heimbach was caught in a flagante delicto with his lover, he attacked Brooke and Matt Parrott in front of Heimbach and Brooke’s children. [reported multiple places, including WaPo]
Heimbach helped organize the deadly ‘Unite the Right’ white supremacist rally in Charlottesville 2017, where Heather Heyer was murdered and dozens of people were injured after someone [who believes the same things Heimbach does] drove his car into a crowd. Heimbach and the other neo-nazi organizers were found guilty in a civil trial, to the tune of $25 million in damages in 2021. The driver was sentenced to life in prison.
Heimbach was one of the dozens of neo-nazis who attended Richard Spencer’s speech at Michigan State University in 2018. He attempted to attack multiple people who were protesting white nationalism.
Heimbach is the main voice for the internet radio show called National Bolshevik Radio, where he works with “George Eckhart” [you may remember George Eckhart mentioned in our expose of Caleb Dane Rose, a member of white nationalist group Patriot Front, yet another fascist organization]
Heimbach is currently trying to relaunch Traditionalist Workers Party as a National Bolshevik organization, per his own words. Below, he’s captured screaming at reporters in defense of James Alex Fields in front of the Charlottesville General Courthouse on August 14, 2017. Link to play video is here, taken from Newsy.com
Money must be tight and funding running dry as Heimbach is now working at Thyssenkrupp Presta facility in Terre Haute, as noticed by an eagle-eyed comrade. It is unknown how long he has been there as well as what he said during his hiring interview.
