In some cases, police responded to the protesters with violent attacks. In one instance, a protester escaped a mounted police officer who’d grabbed him by punching his horse in the face. As the rally broke up that night, some protesters were able to slip by police and punch departing Nazis in the face.
Thanks. I was going to come in to burst that bubble. A ton of Americans were totally sympathetic to fascists until we went to war with Germany and it became unfashionable. But they didn’t change their politics, they just didn’t call it fascism anymore.
Notice America didn’t have a problem with Franco and you didn’t hear a lot of Americans denouncing him since he wasn’t part of the Axis powers.
Also: Americans hold a Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden
