Summary

A group displaying swastika flags on an I-75 overpass in Evendale, Ohio, was confronted by local residents, leading to tensions and a heavy police presence.

Residents pushed past police, seized a flag, and forced the demonstrators to retreat into a U-Haul truck.

Officials, including Cincinnati’s mayor and Hamilton County’s sheriff, condemned the demonstration.

The Jewish Federation and NAACP also spoke out, questioning where the demonstrators came from. The NAACP suggested the current administration’s policies may have emboldened the group.

No arrests were made.

    Aren’t nazis like literally the enemy? They were eradicated after WWII, they never stopped being the enemy. As soon as they’re back, it should be open season. Cmon America, use that military budget of yours.

      Well, for too many white Americans, especially the ones in power right now, “America” should stand for a white ethno-state, so they see Nazis as allies who have the same ideals.

      This isn’t new either, Nazis took inspiration from American segregation and Jim Crow laws.
