“The Republican Club condemns the person who shouted ‘White Power’ at the foul-mouthed Biden supporter in the video being widely circulated in the news today,” the group posted on Facebook. The Villages Republican Club-which also did not return requests for comment for this story-has disavowed the shouter. The Villages administration did not immediately return a request for comment. Turns out no one in The Villages wants to take credit for the “white power” guy. People said he wasn’t aware the guy said ‘white power,’ which leaves us with: He either retweets things he hasn’t watched, or he knew it said ‘white power’ and that’s the part he was interested in. “I understand took it down after 90 minutes. The retweet was “of no benefit to anybody,” Stanley said. Stanley said the event was “upsetting at the time, then it died down.” But it erupted into the public consciousness this weekend after Trump tweeted the footage. The Villages-News reported that a fight almost broke out. “White power!” one of the Trump fans shouted back. In the same video, someone shouted “Where’s your white hood?” at a passing caravan of Trump supporters in golf carts. Thank God we all have friends and we stick together, but it’s very hard living in the Villages as a Democrat and not a Trump supporter.” I think these people are part of a cult and brainwashed,” Sandler said in a video on the outlet’s site. Counterprotesters carried Black Lives Matter signs.ĭuring the rally, Democrat Sharon Sandler told the Villages-News that left-leaning life was hard in the area. One demonstration, a large golf-cart rally, was composed of Trump supporters celebrating the president’s birthday (some also had other messages like “blue lives matter” on their carts). Tensions came to a now-infamous head on June 14.
