Clifford Herrington is the former head of the National
Socialist Movement (NSM) and the husband of Andrea Herrington, a.k.a. Maxine Dietrich,
whom we have encountered before. Herrington was, however, expelled – together
with NSM media handler Bill White – from his own group when other members and
patrons (in particular the notoriously unsavory Hal Turner and NSM chairman Jeff Schoep) discovered that NSM’s Tulsa post office box was
shared by The Joy of Satan Ministry,
Dietrich’s Satanist group, which did not sit well with the Christian Identity commitments of many white supremacists. The ensuing brouhaha was the kind of thing
that people with normal social and intellectual abilities don’t usually find
themselves in but which seemingly systematically happen to the craziest loon
groups. The series of events is covered here.
Herrington’s activities these days seem primarily to consist in producing anti-Semitic
hate tracts and tweets, accusing various politicians of being Jewish or
marionettes for Jewish conspiracies.
Diagnosis: It’s hard to take him too seriously and his
influence seems to be negligible. We still felt he deserved to be mentioned.
