Masked group marches through Ohio neighborhood with swastika flags

Source: ABC News

The governor of Ohio and city officials in Columbus are speaking out after a group of masked individuals marched through the streets of the Ohio capital city Saturday dressed in black and holding flags with swastikas on them.

The unidentified people were spotted around 1 p.m. walking through the Short North neighborhood, according to Columbus ABC affiliate WSYX. Images and videos of the marchers went viral on social media sites.

The Columbus Police were dispatched, and the investigation is ongoing.

"We will not tolerate hate in Ohio," Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement on the social media platform X on Saturday evening. "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. There were reports that they were also espousing white power sentiments."

And this happened on Saturday, which is Shabbat. I'm have to check in on them.

Disgusting, disheartened, not the least bit surprising.

They will always turn up somewhere if you don't eradicate each and every one of them.

any of this. They knew very well these people were deeply involved with their candidate and they supported him all the way. So now you got what you supported. The rest of us will provide the fight because nobody can trust the GQP ever.

And to think that most Jews voted for Trump and his MAGA cult is mind blowing. Same for the Muslims and Arabs who gave him the victory in MI.

They are not fit to live in this country.

Why were they unidentified? Because the cowards were masked. They don't have any courage to display. Just cosplay clothing.

once the new administration has assumed control. Hell, their ranks will be bolstered just by Trump’s J6 pardons alone. It’s the new reality in the USA: hate hasn’t merely been normalized; no, over half of the voting public explicitly voted for it.
