From the Guardian [theguardian.com] (my gosh, it's gone international!):

Matthew Heimbach’s arrest is latest setback for white nationalists, as expert says movement appears to be ‘fraying’

He's a frayed knot.

Heimbach, whose Traditionalist Worker party group’s slogan is “Fighting for faith, family and folk”, was released from a county jail in Indiana on a $1,000 bond on Tuesday.

He had been arrested after a fracas where, according to a police report obtained by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), he attacked his wife and also choked into unconsciousness his group’s co-founder – who happens also to be the husband of Heimbach’s mistress.

The incident occurred just days after images appeared of Heimbach, teeth gritted, grappling with an anti-Nazi protester on the campus of Michigan State University, where chaos ensued over an appearance by the white nationalist leader Richard Spencer.

Slightly 'fraid, "tassled", if you will.
