Shouting Racial Slurs, Neo-Nazi Marchers Shock Ohio's Capital

Officials in Columbus, Ohio, and across the nation condemned a small group of people who marched through a part of the city on Saturday carrying Nazi flags and shouting racial slurs and expressions of white power.

The marchers appeared to number only about a dozen people, but the invective they yelled and the large swastika symbols they bore seemed to achieve their goal of rattling not just people in Columbus, but a wider audience online.

Videos of the neo-Nazi marchers in the Short North neighborhood, known for its arts district of restaurants and galleries, spread quickly on social media, and drew swift denunciations from city and state officials and the White House.

“Neo-Nazis — their faces hidden behind red masks — roamed streets in Columbus today, carrying Nazi flags and spewing vile and racist speech against people of color and Jews,” Gov. Mike DeWine, Republican of Ohio, said in a statement posted on social media. “There is no place in this state for hate, bigotry, antisemitism or violence, and we must denounce it wherever we see it.”

My father always told me the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. He was a gunner in WWII. He felt Nazis were the most vile of all humankind. He is no doubt rolling over in his grave right now.

But to be expected from a party that submissively follows a convicted Felon/Rapist/Liar, casino hustler, and draft dodger.

And republicons believe he's as heaven-sent special as Jesus Christ.

THE GREAT DECEPTION.

Even the "elect" get SUCKERED if you know what I mean

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink

Columbus, Springfield, eventually Cleveland, and everywhere in between. Your bored young Republicans are ripe for recruitment and deployment. Enjoy.

I beg them to come try that in Philly.

Things would end up much differently.
