Two political rallies scheduled to take place today at the Huntington Beach pier both happened as planned, with both sides seeing a total of approximately 200 people combined attending, all to express their respective views on immigration and sanctuary cities.
Antonio Foreman, a person closely associated with the white nationalist movement, was in attendance on the pro-Trump “March to END Sanctuary State” side, and he told Viking News that he has no plans to attend the event scheduled in Long Beach the next day at Bluff Park.
Foreman, who is known to have attended the infamous “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville that saw the death of Heather Heyer, and the emergence of the Alt-right onto the national scene, has maintained that he not a white nationalist, but simply a nationalist.
Foreman also told the Viking News that his initial idea for the rally in Long Beach is different than the way it is being portrayed.
“It was never my goal to bring hate to that rally, or white supremacy, but it was more about bringing a rally to a place where that hadn’t been a whole lot of activism before,” Foreman said.
It is unclear if the initial far-right rally scheduled for Bluff Park in Long Beach is still happening, but the counter rally, “All Out to Oppose Hatred & White Supremacy”, is still expected to take place at 10 a.m.
