PIKEVILLE, Ky. (AP) Police in Kentucky have served a criminal summons to a white nationalist group leader accused of harassing protesters at a Donald Trump campaign rally in Louisville last year, according to a city official.
Pikeville City Manager Donovan Blackburn said Monday that a city police officer served the summons to Matthew Heimbach on Saturday after he marched with white nationalist groups in the eastern Kentucky city. The summons accuses Heimbach of harassment without injury and orders him to appear in Jefferson District Court.
Heimbach told The Associated Press he believes the case is the product of a "huge social media campaign" by "anti-fascists" and "far-left activists."
"This is a completely politically motivated charge," he said. "I believe 110 percent that I followed all laws. I acted reasonably."

As mind blowing as that is maybe it it is a good thing and we have come forward some since the little rock 9 and the Selma to Montgomery March ET Al. Now they admit they are fascists.

(14,173 posts)I 've also heard them refer to them as "anitifas". I can see why they'd use that, because you could demonize a group easier if their name does not define it enough and can be used more to mean "the enemy" that way, especially to young more ignorant recruits.
But its curious that the wingnuts cannot even get their slogans in line. We've heard them in other situations call US fascists! I don't even think they understand what the word means.

MATTHEW HEIMBACH
Considered by many to be the face of a new generation of white nationalists, Matthew Heimbach founded a campus chapter of Youth for Western Civilization at Towson University in Maryland and later started the White Student Union there. He also has been a member of the neo-Confederate League of the South. Since graduating in the spring of 2013, he has entrenched himself further in the white nationalist movement and become a regular speaker on the radical-right lecture circuit.
About Matthew Heimbach
Following his graduation in the spring of 2013, Towsons WSU was folded into the Traditionalist Youth Network, a new white nationalist organization cloaking itself in traditionalism that was founded by Heimbach and his father-in-law, Matthew Parrott. In late 2014, Heimbach also assumed a leadership role in the neo-Confederate League of the South as the hate groups training director.
In His Own Words:
No longer will the homosexual, Muslim, and black supremacist groups be allowed to hijack our campus.
Youth for Western Civilization is preparing to take our campus back, all we need is the help of people like you to make it happen. Youth for Western Civilization blog, January 2012
To be able to get everyone behind the idea [that] the purpose of our movement shouldnt be about reforming America, shouldnt be about trying to make the system better and less unfair towards us, its about flipping the table over. Its about going to temple and saying that this is a violation of Gods law and creating a new homeland for whites around the entire world.

We shouldnt give up California just yet. Because it truly is beautiful in terms of weather, but its full of Mexicans and thats sort of a problem.

This is our home and our kith and kin. Borders matter, identity matters, blood matters, libertarians and their capitalism can move to Somalia if they want to live without rules, in the West we must have standards and enforce them. The freedom for other races to move freely into white nations is nonexistent. Stay in your own nations, we dont want you here.

Those who promote miscegenation, usury, or any other forms of racial suicide should be sent to re-education centers, not tolerated.

These cheesy lard-asses need to get out of their parents' basements, and actually get jobs. They seem a little incomplete if all they have to look forward to is being white, and wanting to be worshiped for their whiteness by everyone else. They don't seem to realize SANE white people look down upon them, too.
