Jacksonville, Fl — A Clay County protest about the state of labor under the Trump administration ended with people in handcuffs, and at least one person arrested. Clay County Democrats say there was a fight involving a protestor. The group says it was disturbing to see a Veteran holding a sign that said ‘Protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic’, attacked with an American flag by a guy yelling fascist slogans and slurs and praising the KKK. The Clay County Republican Party Chair say nobody should be physically assaulted for expressing their beliefs in our great Country. The individuals involved don’t appear to be active in local Republican Party activities and do not represent the local Republican Party.
