Newsweek reports:
An armed Neo-Nazi group protested a Pride in the Park event in Watertown, Wisconsin, on Saturday afternoon that featured a drag story time and drag shows.
Video journalist Oliya Scootercaster took to 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.
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.”

2. One participant in the pride event confronted the Nazis, explaining that “It just makes me so happy that I get to wake up every day and just love who I want without fear of judgement or fucking Nazis apparently.”
The Nazis left shortly after I interviewed that participant. pic.twitter.com/9rbPZLiROu

3. “Us or the pedophiles!” the Blood Tribe chanted as they marched around the Pride in the Park event.
A woman confronted them, and a rifle-wielding Nazi told her “I would say, young lady, that you would look a lot lovelier if you were wearing a proper dress.” pic.twitter.com/jzJ8NJ9T42

Myself and 2 other press @ScooterCasterNY and @KristanTHarris followed the Neo-Nazi Blood Tribe group as they marched to their exit point somewhere else in Watertown.
“You better go away, I’m telling you man,” one said.
1:27 into this video, he chambered a round in his AK. pic.twitter.com/KEQ3DV50aS

6. As Blood Tribe tried to leave, they paused, apparently irritated at press behind them. One approached with an AK rifle that he chambered a round in moments earlier and asked if we were “trying to dox us.”
“If you keep following me man -” he said before smacking his rifle.
