A member of La Meute who attended the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va. on Aug. 11 was also at the far-right group’s march in Quebec City last Sunday.

Ahead of the Quebec City event, a La Meute spokesperson told reporters the group suspended Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald for his participation in the Charlottesville rally. The march in Charlottesville ended when a man with apparent ties to white militant groups drove his car into a group of anti-fascist protesters — killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

In public statements, La Meute has denounced the rally and repeatedly claimed that Beauvais-MacDonald’s membership was suspended because he stood alongside white nationalists that day.

But it appears that Beauvais-MacDonald’s suspension was loosely enforced in Quebec City.

“Yes, La Meute suspended me indefinitely,” Beauvais-MacDonald told the Montreal Gazette. “Yes I went to Quebec City regardless of this in support of what I believe is an important cause. I kept a low profile.”
