He adds:
“We blocked this street because we feel like we have the right to tell them not to come into our city.” (4:27)
J20 organizer is quoted saying:
“These people should be referred to as neo-nazis, as fascist, as the legitimate scum they are, so they can be wiped from this country!” (1:48)
Black supporters of Trump are also seen being called “Uncle Toms!” while having their hats snatched off their heads. (10:51)
The documentary producer explained why they released the footage now:
“It was never our intent to release any footage while we’re still in production. We have held this dramatic content for 4 years in anticipation of its final release in the completed film, however, recent events have convinced us of the imperative to release this excerpt now.”
