Neo-Nazis to Attend RNC to “Defend” Donald Trump Supporters

HeadlineJun 30, 2016

Cleveland and a federal judge have agreed on a new plan for protests during the Republican National Convention in July. The new guidelines will permit more time for demonstrations and a march route closer to downtown Cleveland. This comes after the ACLU sued Cleveland over its planned restrictions on free speech during the convention. Thousands of protesters are expected to travel to Cleveland—including the white nationalist group the Traditionalist Worker Party, which has confirmed it will be heading to the RNC to “make sure that the Donald Trump supporters are defended from the leftist thugs.” The group held a neo-Nazi rally in Sacramento, California, where five people were stabbed on Sunday.
