I don’t like this business of calling people out and sending them packing. This business of making it not ok for them, anywhere. This country used to tolerate neon-nazis because it was necessary if we were to have free speech. Crushing and suppressing them is a) no better than what the enemy does and b) hypocritical virtue signalling when the enemy is allowed to get away with the same vile ugliness.
Nevertheless, Mr. Trump has to be careful not to become associated with the extreme right, so I guess I can understand these guys not being welcome at the rally.

These people were not white nationalists. The title of the article is very misleading. These trouble makers were more likely antifa fascists that showed up to cause trouble. Being white and proud of your country is by definition a white and a nationalist. People are terrified of being called some name that has been vilified by the press.
Nazis were national SOCIALISTS, ie, leftwingers.
