The Daily Mail reports:
Multiple groups of professed neo-Nazis were spotted marching through parks in the Orlando area Saturday. Social media videos showed the groups – known as ‘Blood Tribe’ and ‘The Goyim Defense League’ – taking to the streets in Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Spring.
The marchers, caught on video by State Representative Anna V. Eskamani, were raising the Nazi salute and chanting ‘we are everywhere.’ According to fliers, the two groups worked together to organize a ‘March of the Redshirts’ rally.
It happened on the same day Order of the Black Sun, a separate group of far right supporters – claiming to be affiliated with the ‘Aryan Freedom Network’ – were flying Nazi flags at the gates of Disney World alongside flags claiming to support Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Fellow far-right extremist Laura Loomer claims she just happened to be driving by and stopped to confront the Nazis. She writes:
I am only posting this because I believe it’s news worthy, and I am an investigative journalist. The Nazi rally in Altamonte Springs, FL today was organized by Goyim Defense League (GDL) and its founder Jon Minadeo.
I had no idea this was even taking place until I was driving back from the hair salon in Altamonte where I have been getting my hair done for over an entire year, and as I was getting ready to turn onto the highway, I saw a cluster of about 50 masked men carrying SWASTIKA FLAGS, doing Roman Salutes, and shouting “heil Hitler”.
When I pulled my car over to record, they shouted “look it’s Laura Jewmer” and they proceeded to shout chants of “Jigsaw Jew”, “white power” and “go home to Israel K*ke” in my face. One of them even told me that I would “get the oven too”.
Very vitriolic and irrational behavior. But, it is moments like this that remind us that this is what free speech was created for.
Speech you disagree with is also free speech. And while I certainly don’t enjoy the way I was treated today while driving home from an afternoon of errands and getting my hair done, it’s a reminder that free speech must be for everyone, or else we have free speech for no one.
I personally find GDL to be reprehensible. This is not the first time GDL has harassed me. In March when I was outside of the Ron DeSantis book signing, GDL founder Jon Minadeo followed me to my car and shouted anti/Jewish slurs at me and proceeded to knock on my car window until I drove away.
I am a free speech absolutist, and I am also a US citizen. I am not from Israel, further proving how irrational GDL is. However, they still have a right to free speech and freedom of association, even if they are irrational Nazi trolls (and possibly even Feds).
As they always do, the cult bombarded Twitter with claims that these literal Nazis, whose leaders have long arrest records and face tattoos, are actually undercover federal agents on a “paid mission” to create “false flags” with the intention of making Trump supporters look bad. The hashtag #FEDS trended on Twitter for much of last night. By my count, about 40 Nazis were the Altamonte Springs group. Give the tweets below a minute to fully load.

I see a pile of dumb ass comments on various threads saying that these Blood Tribe cowards are undercover FBI/Feds or paid agitators.
They’re simply racist scum. And anyone making excuses for them or attributing this to some kind of undercover op are also racist scum—and idiots.… https://t.co/Lmjiruey1l

Anyone with a haircut like a military guy the brain worms convince people they are Feds.
I guess skin heads… could pass FBI hair muster so…. https://t.co/K1XKQcRGXl

🚨Biden supporting Nazi’s in Florida today!
The Nazi’s support Dems, and race based policies. This is obvious and if your surprised you need to WAKE UP.
Dems are fascist racists. GOP loves all.

Would love to know who funds these guys.
I wonder if the @ADL is associated with them for the sake of pushing for anti-free speech legislation. Anytime a lawmaker in FL wants to create anti-free speech legislation, they use Jon Minadeo and GDL as an example.
Seems weird. https://t.co/dPp16z1d61

6) While the Nazi coalition was marching through residential Orlando, @davedeckerphoto (freelancing for @N2Sreports) asked them if they’re from Florida.
“Fuck you,” they said. “We don’t answer questions from K*** media. F****ts!”
“All F****ts, we will destroy you.” pic.twitter.com/uHzxbYqmai

11) Ahead of the other Nazi rally in Florida, a separate avowed Nazi group with ten people calling themselves “Order of the Black Sun” rallied in front of Disney World’s entrance, where they ripped up a rainbow pride flag.

12) The Nazis outside Disney world waved a DeSantis flag and called themselves “Ron’s Holocaust task force.”
“We’re his biggest supporters,” they claimed before saying that his support for legislation combatting anti-semitism is “smoke and mirrors.”

I do want to offer one correction to my reporting earlier.
I began my livestream with the caption “Police respond as …” because I intended to focus largely on the police response.
In the end, there was none.
I didn’t see any cops during this story.https://t.co/ScIxXXhiIm
