Summary

Masked neo-Nazis marched through Columbus, Ohio’s Short North neighborhood on Saturday, displaying swastika flags and making racist and antisemitic statements.

Police are investigating, and no arrests have been reported.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Columbus officials condemned the display, emphasizing that hate and bigotry have no place in the state.

The incident follows a similar demonstration in Michigan last week, where masked protesters displayed Nazi flags outside a performance of The Diary of Anne Frank.

    I mean why wouldn’t they? Americans told them to be Nazi and proud this election after all.

      I’m more shocked that they wear masks. They hate masks and they have no reason to hide their faces.

        They know that they’re being bad. That’s why they’re wearing them.

      Exactly!

      Devine and other R politicians have no shame pandering for their votes, dog-whistles and all.

        I mean hell, not even dog whistles this time. Trump and his allies were loudly shouting Nazi slogans publicly and there was no pushback.
