Such were the concerns of the Alt-Right and Alt-Lite speakers at the recent Make Men Great Again soiree, held August 5 in a faux German beer hall at Old World Village, a mini Bavarian-style array of shops and restaurants in Huntington Beach, California.
Originally titled a Celebration of Western Culture, the event almost didnt transpire, with accusations flying on Facebook between Old Worlds management and Orange County Alt-Right activist, Johnny Benitez, whose real name, according to the OC Weekly, is Juan Cadavid. Benitez recently was disallowed to represent the Orange County Republican Party at the Orange County Fair after party leadership reviewed a video posted to Facebook by Benitez in which he discusses Jewish problems, such as the old canard that the Bolshevik movement was pretty much a Jewish movement.
Controversy preceded the gathering for months. In response to critical comments leveled at Old World for hosting the event, someone at the venue apparently issued a statement on its Facebook site, claiming that the business had no knowledge of the event.

I'd say how I really feel about these scumbags but this post would probably get removed.
