On Saturday in Pittsburgh, what appeared to be a gang of far-right counter-protesters tried to insert themselves into a protest against war with Iran, carrying virulently anti-Semitic signs like "Zionists lie! Americans die!" and "Deport Kushner" with Stars of David surrounding his face. According to local reporter Mike Elk, the incident took place just a mile away from the Tree of Life Synagogue, where a far-right gunman opened fire and killed 11 Jewish worshipers in October 2018.
Pittsburgh residents, however, did not appreciate their protest being co-opted by anti-Semites. And as soon as the crowd realized what was going on, the neo-Nazis were booted from the rally with thunderous chants of "Nazis out!"
