An unscheduled march at the South Dakota state capitol Saturday afternoon (June 8, 2024) ended without incident when a group of protesters were asked to leave by the South Dakota Highway Patrol. The group did not have a permit to protest on the premises.
In a Twitter/X post, Governor Kristi Noem said, “Today, Nazis attempted to rally at the SD Capitol without a permit and were escorted away by Highway Patrol officers. Nazis are not welcome here in South Dakota. We stand on the shoulders of generations of Americans who have fought for the freedom of all- here and abroad. We stand for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We reject all hatred and Nazis. Full stop.”
House Majority Leader Representative Will Mortenson of Fort Pierre posted on his Twitter/X account, “Hearing reports about Nazis marching in Pierre. I don’t know that rock they crawled out from under, but they are not welcome here.”
