A Nazi with a big fat Trump sticker on the back of his truck

Yep:
In wake of the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, one North Carolina woman was inspired to speak out against someone flying a Nazi flag she saw in Mount Holly in Gaston County.
Page Braswell told The News & Observer that she couldn’t remain silent after seeing the violence in Virginia. She didn’t know Joe Love, the man flying the flag. Still, she pulled into his driveway on Sunday ready for a confrontation.
“I thought, ‘What? This is my town,’” she said in a video that has since gone viral.
In the video, Braswell shows the flag as well as a sticker supporting Donald Trump on the man’s truck.
“Hey! What’s up with the Nazi flag?” she’s heard asking.
Love asked who she was and what the flag has to do with her. He tells her his name as well as a profanity-laced commentary. He said he wasn’t a Nazi but “this is Nazi f*cking America.”
He told her that the flag was none of her business but then asked, “Where do you live? What kind of flag do you fly?”
She responds that she flies a rainbow flag. He then called her a “queer” and a “lesbian.”
You have to watch the whole thing. He's a real sweetheart.
By the way, the woman is straight and doesn't fly a rainbow flag but says she'd like to get one because she understands it is a typical thing members of the LGBT community hears all the time.
“They’ve got to be brave every day. There’s no reason I can’t be brave for two minutes,” she explained. “If people are doing it, we need to call it out. If we don’t, it’s just going to get worse.”
Don't count on the President. He's on their side.
