GOP Convention Clusterfuckery afoot: Open carry with Neo-Nazis doing "security" [View all]

Petition for open carry at GOP Convention

Police departments are already raising red flags about security at this year’s RNC, and one Republican delegate has told Politico that she fears for her personal safety.
