Heimbach has been called the “new face of organized hate.” He was fired by Indiana’s Department of Child Services (DCS) shortly after being hired as a family case manager trainee.
In May 2018, Heimbach’s gab.ai bio said he was “Chairman” of the Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP) and a “National Socialist.” Heimbach established the group in 2013, under the name Traditionalist Youth Network.
Heimbach is listed by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on their “From Alt Right to Alt Lite: Naming the Hate” page. According to the ADL, Heimbach co-chairs the Nationalist Front, “an umbrella organization of approximately 20 white supremacist organizations, including racist skinhead crews, Klan groups, and neo-Nazi groups.”
As a student at Towson University (TU) Heimbach created the White Student Union (WSU) at TU in 2012, and reportedly headed a chapter of the Youth for Western Civilization (YWC). As of May 2018, Heimbach’s profile on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) website said he was a 2013 graduate of TU, where he received a degree in history.
Heimbach’s SPLC profile also said that in late 2014, Heimbach became the training director of the neo-Confederate League of the South.
In March 2018, Heimbach was reportedly arrested and “charged with assaulting his wife and his wife's stepfather, Matt Parrott” the co-founder of TWP. In March 2016, Heimbach was videotaped [00:00:49] assaulting an African American woman at a rally in Louisville, Kentucky, and was charged with misdemeanor for physical harassment.
Engaging in Violence
Heimbach engaged in violent altercations with counter protesters at a “Unite the Right” rally on August 12, 2017 in Charlottesville, VA, where he was a scheduled speaker.Heimbach was active in promoting the rally, which attracted the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement (NSM) and the white separatist group League of the South (LS).
Richard Spencer headlined the rally to protest the planned removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
One neo-Nazi who attended the rally drove his car into a group of counter-protesters, killing one and injuring at least 19 others. Another 14 people were injured in other fighting between white nationalists and leftist counter-protesters.
In an August 15, 2017 PBS interview following the rally, Heimbach was asked [00:01:24] how he felt about the fact that someone died at a rally that he organized and whether he felt at all responsible. Heimbach replied [00:01:33] : “Not at all…” Heimbach went on to refer [00:02:00] to the incident as a “car accident.”
In an August 14, 2017, Vice News interview about the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Heimbach said: “The left wasn’t able to beat us, the left who are the good boys of the capitalist class and the bourgeoisie and the status quo, so they weren’t able to beat us with their armed militant left wing radicals, so they had to turn to the state. If that doesn’t go to show that the radical left and the corporations and the state are all on the same Jewish side, a moment like this proves it.”
Supporting Hamas and Hezbollah
In a July 29, 2015 interview with Al Jazeera, Heimbach said [00:01:04]: “I support Hezbollah, Hamas and all Arab groups, many of them who are Muslim who are fighting for independence, so I see them as allies in an international war against globalism.”Later in the interview, in reference to Heimbach’s activism in America, he was asked [00:04:45]: “Would you want Jews to join your group?” Heimbach answered [00:04:48]: “I would not… because if you look at politics, the Jewish influence is always nefarious...”
Heimbach went on to say [00:05:22]: “I guarantee that if you go to the majority of listeners of Al Jazeera in the Middle East and asked them about international Zionism and the Jewish problem, they would wholeheartedly agree with me. What we are seeing now in the Middle East is happening here as well, where Jewish power using money can buy off the Republicans and Democrats and push things like gay marriage.”
