Anti-drag protesters including armed neo-Nazi group "Blood Tribe," White Lives Matter of Ohio, Patriot Front, Proud Boys, and unaffiliated conservative activists protested Saturday outside an all-ages drag show at Wadsworth Memorial Park in Ohio.

Weapons were pointed and mace deployed amidst scuffles between protesters and drag supporters, with at least one arrested on each side.

Proud Boys distanced themselves from avowed white nationalist groups, telling them to physically stay away. Police initially had to protect "Blood Tribe" members from other right-wingers angry at the presence of symbols like swastikas at their protest.
