A man whose expletive-filled tirade against a woman at a Portland demonstration is out of a job after the vicious rant was captured on video and ignited an online firestorm.

Steve Wilson no longer works with Self Enhancement Inc., a nonprofit that helps African-American students, the organization said in a statement Saturday.

"His behavior does not represent the values of our organization or the high expectations we have for our employees," the nonprofit said on Twitter.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Wilson had worked as a data specialist at Self Enhancement Inc. since 2015. Wilson could not be reached for comment Monday morning.

His ouster came a week after video taken during a violent Patriot Prayer march in Portland on Oct. 13 showed a man wearing a sweatshirt with an anarchist label crudely harass a woman in patriotic attire near Southwest Morrison Street and Broadway.

The man's invective continued even after she told him she was a 9/11 widow, a claim that subsequent interviews and records show is likely not true.

"Why are you trying to block me?" says the man, adding an expletive.

"Because I obey traffic signals," responds the woman calmly. She's wearing a T-shirt with an American flag and an NYPD baseball cap.

The man calls her "snarky" and an "idiot" and tells her to shut up amid another string of expletives.

The woman shoots back a provocative response but is still smiling.

"I'm not, I'm not going to punch you, I'm not like your husband, I'm not going to punch you," the man replies.

"I'm not married," answers the woman.

"I'm not like your boyfriend or your cop boyfriend who is going ... knock you out, so don't worry," the man says.

The woman then turns around and points at her NYPD baseball cap.

"My husband died on 9/11," she says.

"Good for him," says the man, who then rails against New York City cops. "Your husband, should probably ... rot in the grave."

Conservative news sites, activist groups and social media users all pounced on the video, hailing it as the latest example of thuggish behavior by leftist protesters.

An effort quickly commenced to identify the antifacist, which the video shows in a black hoodie emblazoned with the logo for AK Press, a book publisher that specializes in anarchist and radical literature.

Online sleuths first misidentified the man as Charlie Wilkins, a Portland professional skateboarder. Wilkins said he received dozens of violent threats on social media because of the mistake.

The search eventually led to Wilson, whose photos and other personal information on Facebook matched the man in the video.

The Oregonian/OregonLive last week was able to independently identify the woman from the video.

She did not respond to multiple phone calls and Facebook messages Thursday seeking comment. New York police and others associated with 9/11 can't confirm she was married to a 9/11 victim.

Public records list a history of only West Coast addresses for the woman, as do the last names she's used over the years.

Though records list her as having several last names over the years, only one matches those of three men killed on 9/11, according to a registry of victims maintained by the National September 11 Memorial.

But her name does not match the names of their spouses or partners when they died, news and public record searches show.

Her prolific posts on Facebook also make no mention of a husband killed on 9/11, even on this year's anniversary. On that day, the woman posted a news story about antifa, shared a video that lambasted universal health care and included a commemorative message from President Donald Trump.

Despite the woman's unsubstantiated claim of being a 9/11 widow, multiple websites and conservative news outlets — including Fox News — continue to identify her as such.

Wilson's firing is the latest blow to Self-Enhancement Inc. this month. Two weeks ago, an employee filed a lawsuit accused staff and supervisors at the nonprofit of creating a sexualized atmosphere that extends to relationships with students.

Chief Operating Officer Libra Forde denied that staff and leaders have done anything inappropriate toward students or employees, but last week Jefferson High School suspended its relationship with Self Enhancement Inc. for at least a week while the allegations are investigated.
