Far right extremists came to Ohio's largest city to protest drag queens reading at a library.
The group called Blood Tribe came to Columbus to protest the LGBTQ community, interracial marriage and the progressive movement. The group members wore masks and their leader was tattooed all the way down willing to show the world how he's hateful towards human beings.
A brunch to support Kaleidoscope Ohio and LGBTQ+ youth in the community was scheduled to take place at the Land Grant Brewing Company on West Town Street, WCPO reported. During this time, a group of 15 to 20 wearing red shirts and black pants, waiving swastika flags, and gesturing the Nazi salute appeared as part of a demonstration.
“While their ‘speech’ is protected by the Constitution, they do not have the right to threaten, intimidate or harm others,” Mayor Andrew Ginther said. The “vile and offensive out-of-state hate group” does not represent the community.
“LGBTQ+ kids & families shouldn’t have to deal with obscene hate from literal Nazis,” City Council President Shannon Hardin stated. “While @ColumbusCouncil has an existing budget earmark for @KYCOhio, I’m donating today to support the great work they do & show that our community stands with KYC and the community they serve.”
While city officials denounced the apparent neo-Nazis’ efforts, organization leaders were more taken aback.
“It took us back a bit to see that,” Executive Director of Kaleidoscope Youth Center Erin Upchurch said. “Instead of creating space for expansion and understanding, they just want to eradicate it.”
Today in Columbus, OH, Nazi terrorists hid behind masks & screamed “THERE WILL BE BLOOD!!”😳

Despite the stance that the neo-Nazis took, the community leader thanked authorities who “made sure our love and affirmation” ringed much louder, Upchurch said.
“Thanks to Columbus Division of Police who ensured the show was uninterrupted and everyone stayed safe. Thanks to the performers, including Virginia West, for their courage and commitment to love and acceptance over divisiveness and hate,” Ginther said.
A far right lawmaker who has little accomplishments decided to make Chicago an issue.
The city had numerous shootings over the past weekends and the fool wanted to drive click bait. Instead of doing legislation, it's all about getting attention.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH), Rep. Troy Balderson (R-OH) and Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) represent Columbus, Ohio. Their districts were controversial.
Columbus is the second largest city in the Midwest. The population of the city is 1.04 million and is the only place in the state that saw modest growth. The Republican-controlled state legislature purposely redistrict the U.S. Congressional Districts despite a state referendum making an independent commission.
Ohio is becoming a home base to white nationalism. There are 50 active hate groups in the state. On top of that, there's a school that teaches hate. Republicans are courting this base by whipping up culture wars and blatantly dog whistles.
Chicago, the border, gay agenda, grooming, radical Islam, George Soros,
