Nashville’s ABC affiliate reports:
Multiple Tennessee lawmakers took to social media Saturday afternoon to notify the Nashville community about a group of masked people marching through downtown with swastika flags. A News 2 employee spotted the group on Broadway shortly afterward and took a video. In that video, you can hear the marchers chanting, with one person yelling, “Deportation,” and others following with “Saves the nation.”
Authorities told News 2 they were aware a “group of Neo-Nazi demonstrators” — some of whom carried flags with swastikas and most of whom wore face coverings — walked around the Capitol and parts of downtown Nashville Saturday afternoon, adding that some people on Broadway challenged the group. Then, the group reportedly headed to a U-Haul box truck, got in, and left Davidson County.
Read the full article. The cult, as always, is calling them feds. All of the tweets below are from Tennessee state officials.
Nazism and antisemitism should never be tolerated in any form. As Jewish people around the world continue to face persecution, Tennessee remains unwavering in our support for the nation of Israel and her people.

Just left an event honoring a Black sorority and spoke of the need to unite against the rising tide of white supremacy, only to be confronted by Nazis marching through downtown Nashville.
This is exactly what my Republican colleagues hate speech is fostering and inviting. pic.twitter.com/ZaK5kUQDYP

For lent, I give and take away something everyday. Today, I am giving advice to these Nazi’s and telling them hate has no home here. We are a loving, welcoming community in Nashville and your message will be ignored as it falls on deaf ears. Love > Hate. https://t.co/hCBCIAvvCQ

This is a made-for-clicks, fake clown show. These idiots are either paid performers or low IQ low-lifes who need to go back home to their mothers’ basements. Either way they are worthy of all the ridicule and scorn we can muster. https://t.co/KwKufgTemY

Go away Nazi thugs. This is Tennessee and you are NOT welcome here. Btw, why not show your faces so we can all see who you are? I would be willing to bet that none of you are from anywhere near here. https://t.co/OGOCKKJbw1

That I even have to say this.
NAZIS are NOT WELCOME in NASHVILLE.
In America everyone is free to demonstrate & to say what they want, so:
SHAME ON YOU ALL! Get your hateful, dangerous, fascist, nazi nonsense off our streets & off our beautiful Public Square. https://t.co/ivazBi4qJc
