The Twitter account created in Nov 17 followed Trump, Donald Trump Jr. & Eric Trump. It also followed a variety of far-Right accounts including racist Ann Coulter, neo-Nazi & former Klansman David Duke, and "Alt-Right" white nationalist Richard Spencer... also two QAnon accounts.pic.twitter.com/9qpWApg7hZ

Helterbrand's account commented to a now-deleted Twitter profile for white nationalist podcaster Norman Asa Garrison III AKA "Spectre". It is possible Helterbrand followed that account before it went the way of Garrison's other Twitter accounts.pic.twitter.com/1Xhp8sgkCW

Backtracking a bit: on Reddit, Michael Helterbrand made a couple of comments on r/TheDonald in late 2016, including one with the term "cucks" -- a favorite pejorative of the Alt-Right at the time. This suggests that M.H. already had Alt-Right sympathies at that time.pic.twitter.com/Ga3Xk6PZCz

We don't think they are particularly relevant politically, but the account contains personal details. At the time of the Reddit posts, Helterbrand was in recovery from drug & alcohol abuse. Helterbrand possibly kept his kink/sexuality a secret to his later neo-Nazi associates.
