Veteran newsman schools neo-Nazis: 'When I look at you guys, I do not think master race'
Legendary Nashville newsman Phil Williams clashed with neo-Nazis protesting in the "Music City."
The Goyim Defense League is described by the Anti-Defamation League as "virulently antisemitic provocateurs," and they brought "symbols of hate and vile words," wrote Williams on Friday.
People were out and about in the city's entertainment district when the neo-Nazis began harassing a "lesbian mom who had just left a restaurant."
A photo of her shows her small daughter crying and clutching her mother while they're surrounded by young men yelling.

"You're a sodomite. You go to hell," said leader Jon Minadeo.
Canadian Ryan Scott McCann, one of the men in the group, jabbed a flag pole at a bartender, which led to his arrest. It wasn't the first for the group.
Williams described the men lashing out at police officers tasked with keeping the peace between the men and the public.
"How much do you think the Jews are paying this guy?" Minadeo asked of one officer who'd been on the force for 30 years.
Williams asked why they chose Nashville as the place to attack.
"It's the only place that respects freedom of speech," one member, Nicholas Bysheim, claimed.
"Yeah, this city respects freedom of speech, but communist Jews like yourself don't," agreed Minadeo, talking to Williams.
They tend to attack Jewish people as pedophiles and anyone they oppose as being a Jew.
Williams confronted Minadeo, noting, "I have a photo of you with a pedophile right here."
The photo shows Minadeo with Jesse Shenk. He was arrested three years ago for soliciting sex with someone he thought was 14 years old.
"So one of your own group was a pedophile," said Williams.
Minadeo defended Shenk, saying he was "set up" and promised he'd been kicked out of the group. The problem is that many of the men wear ski masks to cover their faces. So, Shenk could have been among them.
Minadeo was triggered enough to lead the group into chanting, "Pedophile protector, pedophile protector, pedophile protector."
Each time, he tried to confront the men about their inconsistencies, the men broke into a chant calling Williams a pedophile protector.
The group had claims, but Williams came with receipts that shot back to the facts. Dr. Anthony Fauci isn't Jewish, he's Catholic. Members of Donald Trump's cabinet involved in the pandemic were Episcopalian and Catholic.
Williams went flier by flier to question the lies the group was caught telling. Minadeo turned to his livestream to call Williams a "liar," which is a typical move when extremists don't agree with the facts, he explained.
"Can I be honest with you guys?" Williams asked.
"You're a loser, scumbag," Minadeo shot back.
"When I look at you guys, I do not think 'master race,'" Williams said, dealing a blow to the branding of the men.
The only way the could think to respond was to call Williams old.
"You're old and about to die. Your time is coming to its end," one of the men said.
Williams explained, "In fact, what I saw was a group of wounded, angry men who've never accomplished much in their own lives, looking for someone else to blame."
