A Republican lawmaker, State Rep. Bryan Slaton, has spoken out after a Antifa counter-protesters armed with rifles showed up at a Texas drag queen brunch for children to defend the event.
Protesters and counterprotesters, some armed, clashed at a drag brunch Sunday in Roanoke. Protesters say they want to protect children from drag shows, and counterprotesters are seen dressed in riot gear and carrying guns. Drag shows have become one of the latest battlefields in the culture war.
Masked members of Antifa responded to a protest by showing up openly wielding guns at a family-friendly drag show at a distillery in Roanoke, Texas, on Sunday.
