WASHINGTON Jeffrey Clark the 30-year-old man federal agents arrested here Friday after he said the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting victims deserved exactly what happened to them and so much worse and his relatives worried he might try to launch a race war wasnt shy about being a neo-Nazi.

In April 2017, when someone asked Clark at a White House rally organized by alt-right coiner Richard Spencer whether he considered himself a fascist, he said no he considered himself a Nazi. Antifa activists photographed him at the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017. He has posed for pictures in front of Nazi symbols and holding Nazi memorabilia.

On Gab, the favored social network of racists and anti-Semites , Clark had the username @PureWhiteEvil and called himself DC Bowl Gang, a reference to Dylann Roof, the bowl-cut racist who murdered nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015.
