pr otest the Motor
City Pride Parade“we were legally armed,” said Burt
Colucci, the leader of the largest neo-Nazi
group in the country, with 30 to 40 core
members. The Detroit Police Department
was criticized for providing an escort for the
protesters, a measure Police Chief James
Craig defended as an attempt to prevent “a
Charlottesville No. 2.” No one was arrested,
but a GoPro video Colucci shot of himself
shoving a counterprotester to the ground
was later released. Colucci said that Trump’s
election has made conservatives compla-
cent. “They’re basically coming around and
saying, ‘We don’t need to go as far right as
you guys do because we’re comfortable with
Donald Trump.’ That’s not good for us.
However, if you name your jackass commu-
nists or socialists like Bernie Sanders or
‘Pocahontas’ Elizabeth Warren and you put
them in the White House, then you’re going
to see our movement explode.”TRANSMITTED________ COPY ___ DD ___ AD ___ PD ___ EICTRANSMITTED2619FEA_White Supremicist [Print]_35965353.indd 28 12/18/19 1:22 PM28 new york | december 23, 2019–january5, 2020June 8
