Watch Donald Trump supporters shout down a neo-Nazi at a Trump rally
At a Donald Trump rally in Reno, Nevada, on Wednesday night, a self-described neo-Nazi holding a "research Holocaust revisionism" sign wanted attention and a platform to disseminate his views about European-Americans versus everyone else, and he got it:
Understandably, Trump supporters were upset that a loud guy with abhorrent racist views, spouting conspiracy theories, was getting all the attention, and they blamed the media for congregating around the guy. "Hey, why are you interviewing this guy?" shouted a bearded man in a crosswalk-guard-style lime green mesh vest, as captured by NBC News' Ali Vitali. "You're not speaking the truth for us!" "Why doesn't the media focus on the average Trump supporter, not this crazy fool?" said a man with a goatee and red "Make America Great Again" hat. Two women jumped in, criticizing the press. You can watch below, but be warned, some of the language in the beginning is a little NSFW. Peter Weber
