Matthew Gebert’s State Dept career began in 2013 via a “presidential management fellowship” focused on “developing a cadre of potential government leaders.”

His @Discordapp posts include a pro-diversity sign riddled with bullet holes.

Discord posts by Matthew Gebert (aka Coach - DC) show that he hosted a white nationalist gathering at his home in March 2017.

One of his guests was Holocaust denier and Nazi podcaster Mike Peinovich (aka Mike Enoch): unicornriot.ninja/2019/exposed-s…
.@StateDept official Matthew Gebert posted mostly in ‘Vibrant Diversity’, an “elite” alt-right Discord chat we leaked last year: unicornriot.ninja/2018/alt-right…

Andrew Anglin, owner of the Daily Stormer and currently on the run from several federal lawsuits, was active in the same chat.
Gebert is not the first govt employee with Nazi views to be exposed from the ‘Vibrant Diversity’ chat logs.

In 2017 we outed anti-Semitic podcaster ‘Caerulus Rex’ as Brian Brathovd, a National Guard soldier moonlighting as Richard Spencer’s bodyguard:

The ‘Vibrant Diversity' Discord has lots of overlap w 'Charlottesville 2.0', the #UniteTheRight planning server that @StateDept official Matthew Geber was also in.
