The protesters were met with dozens of anti-fascists holding a banner that read “Smash the White Man March.” Police were there to separate the groups and arrested nine people.
The event quickly turned anti-Semitic when one of the speakers repeated centuries old conspiracy theories that the world was run by Jewish bankers, Vice News reported. During the speech protestors burned an Israeli flag while others were screaming “Yes, burn Satan!” more
