Biden Condemns Neo-Nazi March in Columbus

The White House condemned a neo-Nazi march that took place in Columbus, Ohio, over the weekend, with President Joe Biden stating that such hate is contrary to American values. Approximately 10 masked individuals marched through the Short North neighborhood, carrying flags emblazoned with swastikas and shouting racial slurs, as reported by local news sources. Biden's spokesperson emphasized that 'hate directed against any of us is a threat to every single one of us', linking this incident to a broader rise in antisemitic rhetoric and violence. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and other local leaders also denounced the demonstration, affirming that there is no tolerance for hate in the state. In response, a counter-march was organized, highlighting community solidarity against hate. The police intervened briefly during the event, but no arrests were made as the situation was resolved without further incident.
