Introducing two neo-Nazi knuckleheads in Nashville: Sienna Elizabeth Kitchen and Matthew Thomas Curnutte. Together this gruesome twosome of racist rubbish are doing their parts to make the world just a little more miserable by participating in white nationalist organizations like the Goyim Defense League and the National Justice Party and harassing minorities both online and in person. Let’s get to know these white nationalist nutjobs!
Sienna Kitchen, aka “KatsRants” and “Kittywaffen1488”
33-year-old Sienna Kitchen frequently uses the online aliases of “KatsRants,” “Kittywaffen1488” or other variations of “Kat” or “Katherine “and is a particularly unhinged bit of neo-Nazi nastiness. She is very active in online white nationalist circles as well as engaging in on-the-ground Nazi activism. Originally from Mesa, Arizona, Kitchen was a vegan “Maid 4 Trump” six years ago who cleaned houses for a living and attended MAGA rallies.
Following a 2018 arrest and guilty plea for harassment in Maricopa County (details of which are under seal), Kitchen moved to Nashville with a white supremacist she met on Telegram going by the alias of “Trocar.”
This unabashed neo-Nazi routinely posted her racist and antisemitic garbage on Twitter as “Kate Hikes @Kittywaffen1488”
Kitchen’s posts on Facebook are just as bad and frequently violent as well. In one Facebook post she advocated for “TND,” which stands for “total n*gger death.”
These days she uses the moniker “KatsRants” on Telegram and posts videos of herself spewing hate at random gas station attendants and Dollar General employees. Below is a redacted compilation of some examples of videos she has made. (Content warning: slurs).
Kitchen frequently harasses minorities on Twitter. While she is a Holocaust denier, at the same time she wished “it had actually happened.”
In addition to being a white nationalist online, Kitchen participates in on-the-ground neo-Nazi propaganda campaigns in Nashville. In a Facebook post from October 2022, Sienna displayed a stack of Goyim Defense League flyers full of antisemitic tropes on her kitchen table. The Goyim Defense League (GDL) is a hate group specializing in obnoxious and confrontational propaganda campaigns, such as distributing antisemitic flyers and projecting transphobic messages onto buildings. Over the next few months, similar flyers began appearing in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods around Nashville. Residents of Belle Meade and Richland Hills woke up one morning in February to find GDL flyers littered in their driveways in February.
The same photo later appeared on Twitter, posted by her account “Kate Hikes @Kittywaffen1488.” (In this case “Kate Hikes” is an intentional spoonerism to hide a slur. “1488” is neo-Nazi code for a racist slogan and “Heil Hitler.”)
Kitchen had posted the same photo on her Facebook profile a few months prior. Apparently fearing repercussions, “Kate” stopped tweeting after the stunt made local news.
Furthermore, shortly before GDL flyers started appearing in Nashville in February, Kitchen tweeted a picture of 500 bagged GDL flyers. Kitchen can’t help but brag about her racist activism on social media.
Jailhouse lawyer Sienna Kitchen was pretty confident no laws were broken when she distributed hundreds of antisemitic Goyim Defense League handbills in Nashville, stating on Twitter, “…none were put in mailboxes which would be a federal crime.” However in a Telegram post she described targeted harassment against a local antiracism activist and in Facebook posts she showed off the results of her local racist vandalism activities. Maybe she should consider getting some real legal counsel.
Kitchen, writing as “KatsRants” on Telegram, took credit for antisemitic and transphobic laser projections in Nashville in April 2023. She described creating fake Twitter and Reddit accounts to amplify the story and lamented the incident didn’t get much media attention.
Under one Twitter account Kitchen created, “Katherine Gielsberg,” she posted a video of April’s antisemitic laser projections on Nashville’s AT&T building. In the video, a woman’s voice can be heard saying “Jews down.”
The AT&T building also appears in a Facebook photo of Sienna Kitchen’s partner. The ball cap he wears in the photo, which features a camouflage pattern and tri-star flag, would later be used to help identify him in other white nationalist events.
Matthew Thomas Curnutte, aka “Trocar”
37-year-old Matthew Thomas Curnutte, aka “Trocar,” is a Michigan native with ties to Tennessee that go back to at least 2008, when he was first licensed in the state as a funeral director and embalmer. (A trocar is a tool used in the embalming process to drain fluids from a body.)
Curnutte is a member of the “volunteer corps” of the Tennessee chapter of the explicitly white supremacist National Justice Party (NJP) and has taken part in several NJP actions around Tennessee this year, including one in July. The National Justice Party is the activist arm of “The Right Stuff,” a white supremacist organization founded by neo-Nazi podcaster Mike Peinovich. The NJP is obsessed with increasing the power of white people but also has time for transphobia, antisemitism, and other brands of hate.
Curnutte and the NJP harassed an adults-only drag show in Cookeville, TN in January 2023. The event also included appearances by Patriot Front, the Proud Boys, white nationalist Robert Bray of the the Tennessee-based Vinland Rebels and white nationalist Sean Kauffmann’s Tennessee Active Club.
Curnutte, who appeared to be live streaming the protest, later took credit on Telegram for his part in putting out of business the venue that had hosted the event.
A look at Curnutte’s posts on social media clearly shows that he is a literal Hitler-worshipping Nazi. He frequently posts about “gassing” Jewish people and this sick trash human wants the return of lynching Black people. Matthew Curnutte has a psychotic obsession with harming Jewish people, Black people, LGBTQ+ persons and other minorities.
Curnutte recently launched a business called “Nationalist Patch and Apparel Company” and advertised several custom hats on his Gab profile emblazoned with Nazi emblems, including one with a WWII German sniper’s badge. He appeared to be wearing an identical hat in Cookeville.
Thanks to his partner Kitchen’s tendency to overshare on social media, which runs the gamut from her sex life to her bowel movements, identifying “Trocar” was a simple matter. Prior to the July 23 protest in Nashville, Sienna said on Telegram that Curnutte was on his way to “shut down” a drag event with 50 “activists.”
Curnutte’s presence at that event helped to confirm his identity. Curnutte participated in a NJP event on July 23, 2023 wearing sunglasses and a ball cap, but unmasked. Curnutte’s distinctive beardline shown in the NJP event photos matches his appearance shown in publicly available photos at his half-brother’s wedding in Michigan last year. Curnutte has also been photographed at other NJP events this year.
Although Kitchen has stated Curnette is her husband, we were unable to positively determine the legal status of this union. The couple recently received congratulations on Kitchen’s pregnancy from GDL leader Jon Minadeo, who gave them a Nazi salute for the “based baby” on his Handsome Truth live stream show. Jon Minadeo has a disturbing history of using online chat platforms to groom children into Naziism.
In a sad turn of events, the couple’s first child was born premature and later died from complications. Sometimes terrible things happen to terrible people, but no one deserves to experience a death of their child. Even during this tragic time, however, Kitchen’s commitment to Nazi ideology didn’t wane.
On Facebook, Kitchen posted a photo of her child’s shrine, on which was placed Nazi SS pin. She lamented that “Uncle A” (referring to Adolf Hitler) would be disappointed in her for failing to carry her white baby to term. She has also posted photos of a onesie with the Nazi black sun design and a pumpkin carved with a swastika as tributes to the deceased child.
Kitchen’s preoccupation with having “white babies” led her into some abhorrent discussions. In a May Facebook post she asked for thoughts on weaponizing rape to save the “white race.” She also noted that she had thought about “breeding camps” for white liberal women, but concluded that she would rather “just put them in the ground.”
After her child’s death last year, Sienna organized a fundraiser on GiveSendGo which raised over $5,000. It was promoted by GDL propagandist and violent felon Michael Weaver. They also received a sizeable donation from “Evergreen,” the women’s auxiliary of the NJP.
Kitchen currently works in the produce department at a Publix store located in Nashville’s Melrose area, which is within walking distance of the duplex she rents with Curnutte. On Reddit, Kitchen stated her coworkers at Publix raised close to $8,000 for the couple and her boss prepared meals for her.
While she spoke highly of her employer on Reddit, on Facebook she discussed her coworkers in violent and racist language. In a post earlier this year she threatened to break a Muslim coworker’s fingers and push her down the stairs.
In another Facebook post Kitchen called Black History Month “monkey month” and described a Black coworker has having had a “level 12 chimp out.” In another she bragged about “redpilling” an elderly Black coworker with antisemitic conspiracy theories, and lending her books like The Jewish Onslaught.
Publix supermarkets is a privately held company and has donated to extreme right wing politicians. The founding family are major shareholders and members are tied to anti-LGBTQ groups and funding of the “Stop the Steal” rally that triggered the J6 insurrection. The brand also has a spotty record with respect to race, gender and LGBTQ issues and has paid nearly 100 million dollars in settlements for various bias related lawsuits over the years. With this in mind, we still don’t think they would be happy to know that an employee of theirs spends her work hours snapping photos of customers to ridicule them online, which is exactly what Kitchen does. She posted on Facebook a photo of an unsuspecting shopper to ridicule the person based on an assumption of the person’s gender identity.
Both Kitchen and Curnutte have posted photos of their pets on social media, further confirming their identities (we have withheld the names of the pets to protect the innocent).
Besides a dog and cat, this cruddy couple keeps chickens in their Nashville backyard. On his Gab account, Curnutte announced plans to burn an Israeli flag after letting his chickens run amok on it first. Reminder: this idiot is pushing 40 years old while doing stupid shit like this.
No Nazis in Nashville!
Sienna Elizabeth Kitchen and Matthew Thomas Curnutte are warts on the community of Nashville, Tennessee. Besides propagandizing online for violence against minorities and the LGBTQ+ communities, they participate in live, in-person neo-Nazi harassment events.
The GDL’s increased presence in Tennessee is one face of the recent rise in fascism in the state. Tennessee has also seen the influence of the Lewis Country Store, which hosts white nationalist “fight clubs” and the Asatru Folk Assembly which purchased a large plot of land in Jackson County.
Besides being rotten people, these Nashville Nazis should be viewed as potentially dangerous due to the extreme levels of genocidal hate they express and the numerous social media posts celebrating violence. How much of a slip is it from being extreme online to being extreme in person? These psychos are ticking time bombs.
Help local antifascists by contacting the Melrose Publix in Nashville and let them know that Sienna Kitchen is an unhinged neo-Nazi who advocates for violence against racial minorities, LGBTQ+ persons and liberal women.
Matthew Curnutte is currently working as a “crematory operator/mortician” in an undetermined Nashville location. Please alert all funeral homes in the area about this psycho!
