Racists have made their presence known in Fort Worth in recent days, and that has infuriated the city's mayor.
Last weekend, a group of men in full Nazi attire was captured on video assimilating with diners at a local Torchy's Tacos, and later they left racist fliers on cars parked at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden.
All that happened just days after another open racist, Nick Fuentes, met with former state representative Jonathan Stickland at a business park in west Fort Worth.
Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker is furious at the overt anti-Semitism and says Fuentes' ideology has no place in Texas politics.
"As a Republican myself, we have to stand up and reject this type of behavior and empathizing with someone like Fuentes, so I'm hopeful that we see some of this unravel in the coming days," said Parker.
While a small handful of Republicans in Texas and elsewhere have embraced Fuentes and his ideology, others, including Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, have denounced him in no uncertain terms.
Torchy's Tacos has released a statement reading, "We do NOT stand for hate and do NOT support this group or any hate group."
