Armed Nazi Group Protests Pride Event Featuring Drag Show
Twitter on Saturday to document the protest and wrote, "BLOOD TRIBE group marching in Watertown Wisconsin protesting Pride in the park." In her videos, one Neo-Nazi group member can be seen carrying a weapon.
It is immediately unclear if more members were armed. Newsweek has not been able to independently verify if the group seen in the video is Blood Tribe.According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Blood Tribe is described as "a neo-Nazi group with semi-autonomous chapters in the United States and Canada.
Blood Tribe promotes hardline white supremacist views and openly directs its vitriol at Jews, 'non-whites' and the LGBTQ+ community."Drag events have been targeted by right-wing activists across the United States in recent months, with a particular focus on those accessible to children.
In Tennessee, Republican lawmakers have voted to ban "adult cabaret performance" from public property, or any location which could be viewed by a child, with similar legislation being proposed in a number of other states like Kentucky and Oklahoma.BLOOD TRIBE group marching in Watertown Wisconsin protesting Pride in the park pic.twitter.com/ZtlJKXyP1cNewsweek has reached out to the ADL for comment via email.In another one of Scootercaster's videos on Saturday, the group could also be heard chanting, "No pedos in our streets," and "there will be blood, blood, blood." Later on in the same video, a member of the group can be seen yelling, "Pedophiles get the rope!" in the face of a bystander.
