I’ve been to tons of motorcycle rallies and I’ve never seen vendors selling SS stuff. Confederate flags, yes, and a lot of 1% crap, but no SS.

Notice how they make claims, but they never present evidence to support those claims? 🙂

This is an attempt to paint these people as racist, period.

Probably FBI informants are selling them, just to allow smears in the gaslight media.

Libtards do not like motorcycles.

They are loud and the libtards don’t understand them.

They must go.

“Just like they always have.”
Libs hate Captain Obvious.
For obvious reasons.

There are thousands of vendors there, I imagine.

How about the people hawking Che shirts at Leftist events?

Yeah. They wear FTW patches too. The symbolism means “mind your own business and leave me alone. I concur.

The original bikers were disaffected WWII vets who saw the worst of the worse. Nazi items were shown off as war trophies.

No that’s SS for Secret Service. They’re obviously Biden supporters. 😆
