Armed neo-Nazis prepare for potential clash in small Kentucky town

In a tent deep in the woods of rural Kentucky, an old neo-Nazi spoke bitterly of how he feels “betrayed” by Donald Trump.

“I’m sorry I voted for the son of a bitch, I really am,” said Art Jones, who the Anti-Defamation League identifies as a Holocaust denier who has been dressing in Nazi garb and celebrating Hitler since the 1970s.

“I’m sorry I spent $180 out of my own pocket to buy three big banners that said, ‘President Trump, build the wall’,” the blazer-clad Jones said, to a tent full of about 100 men, some of whom wore paramilitary-style uniforms. “Now he says, ‘Eh, what wall?’ I’m embarrassed that I voted for him.”

Jones blamed Trump’s failures on the “Jewish lobby” and the president’s son-in-law and aide, Jared Kushner, who is Jewish.

“If I could take the vote back,” he said. “I would.”

From further down in the article:

The commander of the Indiana III percenters, who declined to give his name, said he expected at least 60 members to attend in “full battle rattle”, with “our helmets full body armor, 9 thirty-round magazines and an AR-15”. He said he expected at least four other III percenter groups to attend.

And tRump goes to talk with his buddies at the NRA!
