Oh Good, Skinheads Have Vowed To ‘Protect’ Trump Supporters At GOP Convention

"Brace yourself, Cleveland. White supremacy is coming.

At least one group of white nationalists has pledged to attend next month’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, for the stated purpose of protecting Donald Trump supporters from... well, almost everyone else.

“We’re essentially just going to show up and make sure that the Donald Trump supporters are defended from the leftist thugs,” Matt Parrott, a spokesman for the Traditionalist Worker Party, told McClatchy. Parrott said the party expects around 30 members will be in Cleveland during the convention, which runs July 18 - 21.

On Sunday, the party hosted a rally in Sacramento, California, in conjunction with a group of skinheads. In addition to voicing support for Trump, organizers said they also wanted to “make a statement about the precarious situation our race is in.” The event quickly turned violent, seven people were stabbed and nine hospitalized."

That's what's so frightening. He speaks for those who we once denied existed. Trump has given them legitimacy. No, not don... The gop is to blame.
