A U.S. State Department official oversaw the Washington D.C.-area chapter of a white nationalist organization, @Hatewatch has determined.

Matthew Q. Gebert, operating as "Coach Finstock" worked with Michael "Enoch" Peinovich's organization The Right Stuff (TRS). Peinovich's emails to a source helped corroborate his identity. Gebert and his wife are the third and fourth of TRS affiliates I've IDd this year.
Gebert's wife, Anna Vuckovic, blogged as "Wolfie James" for TRS's website and another white nationalist site. Her opsec was floppy and sloppy just like Peinovich's. Here she is giving away her location. https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019/08/06/us-state-department-official-involved-white-nationalist-movement-hatewatch-determines …pic.twitter.com/iKHaFFKR74
.@Twitter has served as a radicalization engine for many extremists. I have seen it firsthand.
Gebert, as "Coach Finstock," manned at least 10 handles that I could find.
We have a very serious problem with radicalization in America and social media execs play a role in it.
.@UR_Ninja followed up and found Gebert posting as “Coach Finstock” in leaked Discord chats relating to Charlottesville and Unite the Right.
Great work:https://unicornriot.ninja/2019/exposed-state-department-official-posted-in-nazi-charlotteville-chats/ …
This is wild but not surprising given Trump's history on @Twitter.
Apparently, he quote tweeted Gebert in October 2015.
This would be around the time Gebert was radicalizing, according to his own account.
Reminds me of when Trump thanked Paul Nehlen:https://twitter.com/jamesfourm/status/1159250973975568384?s=21 …
The State Department has put Gebert on leave, per @politico:
“It is inconceivable he got security clearance twice.”https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/08/state-department-energy-employee-white-supremacist-group-1642628 …
I like how you all left a message on his state phone. He probably shit his pants when he got that message there. "Hatewatch left a voice message for Gebert at the State Department on June 25, 2019, asking him about “Coach Finstock.” Gebert never returned the call." Good work!!!
