State Department Official Unmasked As White Nationalist

A State Department official has been leading a secret online life as a white nationalist leader and writer, the Southern Poverty Law Center claimed in an investigation.

Matthew Q. Gebert works as a foreign affairs officer in the departments’ Bureau of Energy Resources in Washington. But over the past few years, according to the SPLC, he hosted meetings of white nationalists in his home, appeared on hate-filled podcasts and published numerous articles and social media posts promoting white nationalist ideas.

Several sources told the SPLC that they had attended meetings at Gebert’s home in the Washington, D.C. suburbs. And two said that Gebert was present at an invite-only dinner with the infamous Holocaust denier David Irving, where they allegedly discussed the “Jewish question,” which refers to the false belief of Jewish world domination and what white people should do in response. “There was one gentleman, whom I will not name, that could have been from State,” Irving admitted to the SPLC.
