Donald Trump supporters shouted down a man promoting Nazi slogans at a Nevada rally amid speculation that he was planted at the event.
The man, wearing a camouflage baseball cap and a “State of Jefferson” T-Shirt, carried small signs with the slogans attracting the attention of reporters at the Reno campaign rally Wednesday.

Identified as 25 year-old Brady Garrett, he was shouted down by Trump supporters and escorted out of the building by security. He confirmed he was a neo-Nazi to CNN and disputed facts about the Holocaust.
David Martosko of the Daily Mail questioned the incident and found the man “suspicious.”
So this creep showed up at the Trump rally in Reno … And now he’s attracted a gaggle of reporters — like he’s in a post-debate spin room. pic.twitter.com/uhecgkmSMQ

I fully expected 50+ reporters to swarm around the neo-Nazi tonight. It’s what many of them are looking for.

@joelpollak I’m suspicious of this person. He seemed to want to be spotted and played to the cameras.

The man allegedly made racist comments and one of his signs read “Research Holocaust Revisionism.” He even commented on Ivanka Trump.
This man claimed to be a 25-year-old from Sacramento. Said he’s okay w/ Ivanka being Jewish but refused to believe Nazis killed 6 million https://t.co/OKZQ2NXJzh

Trump supporters shouted chants to drown him out and some even confronted him as well as the reporters who were eager to speak to him.
“Why are you trying to speak for everybody? You go speak for somebody else,” Robert Santos shouted at Garrett.
“The guy’s a nut job,” Santos later told CNN. When asked if he was bothered by this kind of person supporting Trump, Santos replied, “It bothers me anywhere that they support anybody. It’s their right but we don’t need to interview that person.”

The gratifying thing, and I’d say this no matter who the candidate was, is that Trump’s supporters shouted the Nazi down and humiliated him.

Others also questioned whether the man was ultimately a left-wing plant.

That Neo-Nazi disrupting Trump rally surely another democrat trying to create narrative for liberals. https://t.co/eNb7UTPgCg

Media are surprised a dozen Trump fans shouted down and escorted out a Neo-Nazi from a Trump rally since all Trump fans R supposedly Nazis.

She does this and people don’t think that she’d get a “neo-nazi” plant for a trump rally. https://t.co/n0x1XO1Phu

No neo Nazi would ever be dumb enough to do the Hitler salute at a Trump rally. Anyone who does, usually is a plant.
