Ohio officials have denounced a small contingent of neo-Nazis who paraded Saturday afternoon through a Columbus neighborhood – waving flags featuring swastikas and shouting a racist slur – in the latest public demonstration by White nationalists in recent years across the United States.

Emboldened neo-Nazis have been condemned for a racist demonstration that took place in Ohio’s Short North Arts District this weekend. On Sunday (Nov. 17), The Columbus Dispatch reported that police responded to a call that an onlooker had been pepper sprayed by a neo-Nazi but that no arrests were made.

Around a dozen masked individuals marched in downtown Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday carrying Nazi flags and hurling antisemitic and racist rhetoric, earning condemnation from a broad range of officials including the White House and the state’s Republican governor.
