Governor Mike DeWine also denounces Columbus event after video showed masked neo-Nazi procession in all black

The White House on Monday condemned a march of neo-Nazis in Columbus, Ohio, over the weekend, saying it was “hostile to everything the United States stands for”.

Joe Biden “abhors the hateful poison of Nazism, antisemitism, and racism – which are hostile to everything the United States stands for, including protecting the dignity of all our citizens and the freedom to worship,” Andrew Bates, a spokesperson for the president, said in a statement sent to several news outlets Monday. “Hate directed against any of us is a threat to every single one of us.”
