An alt-right leader, not THE leader, of course. Matthew Heimbach, the leader of the Traditionalist Worker Party, whose tagline is “Fighting for faith, family and folk”, was arrested for assaulting his wife and colleague/party spokesman David Parrott, after an altercation.
Heimbach's wife is Parrot's step-daughter from a previous marriage, which I suppose means that Heimbach was cheating on his wife with her step-mother. The cheaters were caught after Parrot and Heimbach's wife set up a sting operation:
When police arrived at Heimbach's home, he ordered his wife (who had just caught him cheating) to go outside and tell the police that everything was fine. When his wife refused, he began beating and choking her while the police were right outside his house, so of course they heard him and immediately entered the house and arrested him.
The next day, Parrot shut down the website and declared the Party dissolved.
The Traditionalist Worker Party gained national attention after its involvement at the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last August. Its leader, Matthew Heimbach was arrested Tuesday for allegedly assaulting his wife and his spokesman after Heimbach was caught cheating on his wife with the spokesman’s wife.
David “Matt” Parrott was the party’s spokesperson until Tuesday, when he quit in a statement to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Parrott told The Daily Beast the incident might be the end for the white nationalist group. “People have lost faith in the party on every level,” he said.
Parrott scrapped the TWP’s website after quitting because he believes the party to be dead, he said.
Heimbach's wife is Parrot's step-daughter from a previous marriage, which I suppose means that Heimbach was cheating on his wife with her step-mother. The cheaters were caught after Parrot and Heimbach's wife set up a sting operation:
They arranged to “set up” Heimbach and Jessica in a trailer on Parrott’s property to catch them having sex.
Parrott stood on a box outside the trailer and watched Heimbach and Jessica have sex inside, according to a police report. When the box broke under Parrott’s weight, he entered the trailer to confront them. Heimbach allegedly choked him and chased him into a house, where Parrott threw a chair at him. Heimbach hit back, choking him into unconsciousness, according to the police report.
Parrott fled to a Walmart near his home and called police around 1 a.m. Tuesday morning.
When police arrived at Heimbach's home, he ordered his wife (who had just caught him cheating) to go outside and tell the police that everything was fine. When his wife refused, he began beating and choking her while the police were right outside his house, so of course they heard him and immediately entered the house and arrested him.
The next day, Parrot shut down the website and declared the Party dissolved.
“I guaranteed that all our membership data was destroyed because of lot of concern with people’s information being caught in this white trash circus,” he told The Daily Beast. “All the information is destroyed and everybody’s personal information is protected.”
