A Nazi-armed march in Ohio...Biden "acts against American values"

Masked gunmen armed with guns marched in Columbus, Ohio, carrying Nazi flags and chanting white supremacist slogans, sparking controversy.

According to the U.S. media on the 19th, there was such a march in the Columbus Short North region from around 1 p.m. local time on the 16th.

Black-clad and red-masked people shouted slogans of white supremacy and anti-Semitism, and used racist abuse to passers-by.

Local police caught and arrested some of the marchers who had firearms at the scene, but decided that there was no conflict and sent them home without a charge.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, wrote on X on the evening of the march, saying, "I will not tolerate hate in Ohio," adding, "Neonarchs walked around the streets of Columbus spewing malicious and racist comments about non-white people and Jews."

Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin said, "We reject their pathetic efforts to spread fear and hate," adding, "We regret that President-elect Trump has encouraged these unpleasant people."

The White House issued a statement through spokesman Andrew Bates on the 18th saying that "Nachism, anti-Semitism, and racism are poison filled with hatred and are totally contrary to American values."
