Looking Under the Alt-Right Rock

From the questionable provenance of LEO Weekly [leoweekly.com], more on the implosion of white supremacy in the United States.

In a scene from a B-list TV reality show, last Monday white supremacist Matt Parrott and his step-daughter staked out the Indiana trailer home of Parrott’s wife watching for Matthew Heimbach, the leader of the Traditionalist Worker’s Party, a man The Washington Post once dubbed “the next David Duke.” The pair didn’t have alt-right politics on their minds, however; they hoped to catch Heimbach in the act of sleeping with Parrott’s wife, Jessica. (If you are confused, see the chart helpfully provided by the DSA of Louisville).

The trap succeeded as planned, and the young woman (unnamed in news reports, perhaps due to her age) recorded the dirty deed on her smartphone. While she soon grew fearful and left, Parrott climbed on a box to see better — cue the laugh-track — which promptly collapsed alerting Heimbach. Then, Parrott — who in addition to being Heimbach’s stepfather-in-law is his landlord—ordered him off the property, sparking a scuffle.

Oooh, the irony. And the silvery.

In a movement that has made “cuck” its signature insult, TWP spokesman Matt Parrott didn’t appreciate literally being cuckolded by the party’s Dear Leader. The step-father-in-law/landlord was also the TWP’s webmaster and he angrily deleted its website and spiked its internet domain. “I’m done. I’m out,” Parrott told the SPLC the day after the fight. “The SPLC has won.”

With trailer homes, a rural Wal-Mart and an alt-right temptress named Jessica Parrott (don’t blame her, she was drawn that way), the story is so filled with comic possibility that one needs to be reminded that the alleged domestic abuser in the case, Heimbach, pled guilty in July 2017 to assaulting a UofL student at a campaign rally for Donald Trump in 2016, and has been involved in at least two other angry encounters since then — including an alleged racist attack on an interracial couple in a Brentwood, Tennessee pub late last year.

Morons, but potentially criminally dangerous morons.
