COLUMBUS, Ohio - They were bound to get noticed, and that was likely the point.
Around two-dozen members of the Proud Boys, along with Bikers for Trump, walked along Sawmill Road on Saturday, carrying various flags.
Pictures and video of that event quickly spread on social media.

One of the people who posted about it was State Rep. Beth Liston, a Democrat who represents Ohio's District 21, which covers Dublin and Worthington.
"I’m concerned," Liston said. "I don’t think this represents us as a community, so I wanted to make sure that people understood what the symbols meant, that they weren’t being intimidated, that they could see through the tactics that sometimes groups take to keep people silent about it."
Those symbols included the green flag of Kekistan, which was spotted at the Charlottesville rally.
Free speech is OK. But not that nasty old hateful hate group "hate speech" spread by hating haters.
I just hate that.
Whine.. Sniffle. Puppy dog eyes at reporter.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

>>”I’m concerned... I don’t think this represents us as a community, so I wanted to make sure that people understood what the symbols meant, that they weren’t being intimidated, that they could see through the tactics that sometimes groups take to keep people silent about it.”
Try saying that at a homofascist rally in your town as the city hoists their rainbow bunting everywhere.
Where or what the heck is Kekistan?
One of the most ignorant statements I've had the misfortune to read.
A fictitious country that got libs noses out of joint. Triggered by a meme.
The Left hate the Proud Boys because, a. They love Trump b. The are chauvinistic about Western (Christian) values c. They fight back when attacked by Antifa.
Press NEVER mentions Communist ANSWER (CANCER) presence at Leftist protests or the alt-Left publication “Revolution” that seeks a fiery revolt to overthrow the American government and constitution.
Founded by the Canadian founder of Vice Magazine who sold it before it became a soy-boy libtard prop rag.
Seems like the phrase “this is not what our community is about” is the narrative they want to project for the backlash they created. all of a sudden they are the timid, scared victims and the angry white supremacists mob are coming to get them and intimidate them. They have no idea how restrained and patient we have all been.
“a bunch of good ol’ boys having a good ol’ time, being American, you know, yee haw”
Really wanted to say, “a bunch of white uneducated American hicks”
We should consider the intent of our Founding Fathers as expressed in the First Amendment:
“Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, providing that said speech conforms to what any given community is about.”
Kek is the name for the cartoon frog adopted by pro-Trump guys at Reddit. From an Egyptian deity depicted as a frog. Used in lots of memes. Kekistan is his mythical country.
“Those symbols included the green flag of Kekistan, which was spotted at the Charlottesville rally.”
The American flag was also spotted at the Charlottesville rally (which was more than 2 years ago).
Meanwhile, State Rep. Beth Liston, a Democrat, ... and a walking/talking cliche right out of central casting ... is “concerned” ...
A Democrat doesn’t like non-Democrats.
Awwwwww.....
You have to check out 4chan and Kek to understand. Its convoluted, but funny story about an online group that one would have to research since i could not properly explain it myself.
I thought his name was Pepe?
So, Democrats are intimidated by FLAGS???
That too. Or Kek is a frog too?
Heck, read this, probably the best answer here:
