Orlando, Florida, is world-renowned for two top-tier attractions: ‘Disney World’ and the ‘Universal Resort.’ But unfortunately, the ‘Theme Park Capital of the World’ may have suffered a bout of infamy yesterday. People wearing red t-shirts and swastika flags assembled at Altamonte Springs, a suburb of Orlando, chanting race-related slogans. The act soon started receiving widespread criticism and flak. Among those who disapproved of the gathering was Michael Buffer, the iconic boxing and pro-wrestling announcer.
So, the tweet by @BGOnTheScene has already gathered over 4 million followers. It reportedly shows supporters of groups such as ‘Blood Tribe,’ ‘Goyim Defense League,’ and the ‘Order of the Black Sun’ leading their demonstration through the northern part of the city, carrying and waving flags emblazoned with swastikas, chanting, “White Power.”
