On Saturday, masked individuals carrying swastika flags marched through Columbus, Ohio. Governor DeWine condemned the march as hateful and intolerant, emphasizing that such behavior has no place in Ohio.
Columbus city officials echoed these sentiments, stating that the city stands against hate and bigotry. They affirmed that the city embraces diversity and will not tolerate intimidation or harm against its residents.
The Columbus Division of Police is investigating the incident, and City Attorney Klein declared that the neo-Nazis are unwelcome in Columbus.
Last week, a similar incident occurred in Michigan, where masked demonstrators waved Nazi flags outside a production of “The Diary of Anne Frank.” However, the protesters were asked to move and no arrests were made.
