A group of approximately 20 neo-Nazis demonstrated on Saturday in downtown Madison, Wisconsin, marching to the state Capitol building before holding their sick protest.
Bearing Nazi flags and performing Heil Hitler salutes, the neo-Nazis spewed antisemitic vitriol, chanting “Israel is not our friend” and “there will be blood” as they demonstrated on Capitol Square.
The group then marched to a nearby park, stopping briefly and menacingly at a synagogue along the way.
“The presence of this hateful group in Madison is utterly repugnant,” Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin of the University of Wisconsin said. “I am horrified to see these symbols here in Madison. Hatred and antisemitism are completely counter to the university’s values, and the safety and well-being of our community must be our highest priorities.”
Gov. Tony Evers also condemned the group, calling their demonstration “revolting.”
“Let us be clear: neo-Nazis, antisemitism, and white supremacy have no home in Wisconsin,” Evers said in a statement. “We will not accept or normalize this rhetoric and hate. It’s repulsive and disgusting, and I join Wisconsinites in condemning and denouncing their presence in our state in the strongest terms possible.”

The silly notion of condemning them by words is worthless. How do they allow such a despicable thing without throwing them in jail? If a white man calls a black man anything but african American, he’d be in jail….. double standards…
sure looks like we are cv headed 4 another holocaust in the us in the year 2023
“Menace to all”???? Nonsense. Twenty lunatics and/or performance artists are not a menace to anyone. What’s “utterly repugnant” and “revolting” is not these people exercising their freedom of speech. What’s “utterly repugnant” and “revolting” is the fact that Jennifer Mnookin and Tony Evers took time out to condemn these twenty people while having no issue whatsoever with MORE THAN TEN TIMES AS MANY who marched for Hamas MULTIPLE TIMES, on Mnookin’s own campus, and yet the university’s official response was to describe their chants as “respectful dialogue”, and to say that “The university is not able to restrict First Amendment protected speech”. What’s the difference between those marchers and these? They’re all equally protected speech, but this time they thought it appropriate to condemn them, so why not the multiple previous ones, and the ones still planned for the future, which they refuse to condemn.
That is the actual menace, and they are full accomplices; any blood that results will be on Mnookin’s and Evers’s hands, and on those of the whole Democrat party which refuses to condemn or to do anything to prevent this, and which actively condemns those who are naming and shaming some of these Islamofascist marchers.
I guess they do still need jobs. Otherwise, why the need for face masks?
These are the real issue American Jews are facing yet somehow recently so many side with leaders who are friends with Nazis and instead focus on Palestine supporters in America who talk about another nation of people in order to ignore people in America trying to kill us. Stop looking overseas and see the people here who want us strung up on a tree
If 20 is all there is, there’s nothing to worry about.
political statements of disgust is not enough. this is not what free speech means constitutionally. a law must be passed outlawing gatherings and demonstrations to incite to violence and to which promote antisemitism and racisim.
“If 20 is all there is, there’s nothing to worry about.”
They are like roaches, for every one you see scurrying in the house there are 100 more hiding in the walls.
how can those people in the 2nd video just walk past nonchalantly…? Silence is complicity.
