‘This is Nazi f****** America’: Woman confronts neighbour flying swastika flag

'If you don't get the hell out of here, me and you's going to have trouble, I promise you that'

A woman who confronted a neighbour over his swastika flag was told "this is Nazi f***ing America" and to "get your a** in your car and get the hell out of here".

Page Braswell said she was driving through Mount Holly, North Carolina, when she passed a house flying a red-and-white Nazi flag from the front porch.

The Black Lives Matter campaigner filmed the tense encounter with the middle-aged man, who told her: "Don't f***ing worry about it."

In a video posted to Facebook, she asked the man why he was flying the flag.

The man, who said his name was Joe Love, replied: "What's it to you? Do you make the payments on this f***ing house? I know you're filming, f*** you. What kind of flag do you fly?"

Ms Braswell said she flew a rainbow flag.

"What does that tell me about you?" the man asked. Ms Braswell said: "That I'm not a Nazi."

The man replied: "I'm not a Nazi either. This is Nazi f***ing America. Get your a** in your car and get the hell out of here.

"If you don't get the hell out of here, me and you's going to have trouble, I promise you that."

Alongside her post Ms Braswell said: "We need to ALL stand against Nazis. Share far and wide."

Focus on neo-Nazi and white supremacist attitudes in the US has intensified after the events of last Saturday's rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that descended into violent clashes and saw one counter-demonstrator killed.

A number of racist groups had organised to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate general Robert E Lee.

But fighting led authorities to shut down the rally. Anti-racist demonstrator Heather Heyer, 32, was killed when a car, allegedly driven by a white supremacist, was rammed into a crowd.

James Fields, 20, of Ohio, was charged with murder.

And President Donald Trump faced criticism for an equivocal response in which he first blamed "all sides" for the violence, then, two days after the rally, denounced the racist protesters.

At a later press conference, however, he returned to saying "both sides" were to blame and criticised what he called the "alt-left", while again saying he condemned white supremacy and neo-Nazis.

Racist campaigners including David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, welcomed his initial response.
