Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker is condemning the people who were seen Sunday in the city wearing Nazi clothing and symbols.
A group wearing swastikas and other hate symbols ate at a Torchy’s Tacos in Fort Worth’s Medical District on Sunday afternoon. A customer eating at the restaurant posted video of the group on TikTok. Also Sunday, about six people wearing Nazi garb distributed about 250 anti-Semitic fliers in Fort Worth Botanical Garden’s parking lot.
“That type of hate was rejected here in Texas,” Parker told a crowd at the vigil, held at Beth-El Congregation. “Individuals walking through our restaurants in Fort Worth, openly wearing Nazi swastikas on their arm and passing out propaganda onto cars at the Botanic Garden just this past Sunday. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.”
