White Nationalist Filmed Shoving Protesters at Trump Rally Faces Charges
Matthew Heimbach, the white nationalist who was filmed shouting at and shoving a protestor at a Trump rally in Louisville last march, has been charged.
Criminal summonses have been issued for Heimbach and two other men: Alvin Bamberger, a 75-year-old Ohio resident, and Joseph Pryor of Indiana. The three men have been charged with harassment with physical contact, Louisville Metro Police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley told WDRB.
The charges stem from a March rally for Trump. Heimbach, Bamberger and Pryor were filmed violently shoving and screaming what appeared to be racial epithets at Shiya Nwanguma, a University of Louisville student.
Indeed, video of the encounter shows Heimbach wearing a red “Make America Great Again” baseball cap, visibly enraged and pushing Nwanguma, who was there to protest Trump.
