The state police officers association and the leader of a Bloomington political committee are criticizing a city human rights commissioner for describing a recent pro-police rally as fascist.
Commissioner Anita Smithson tweeted that she drove by Bloomington Civic Plaza on July 25 during the second annual Back the Blue rally, which she called a fascist organized rally.
Smithson, who was appointed to the commission in March, said last year s rally was organized with ACT for America, classified as an anti-Muslim hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
She said in a series of other tweets that while the rally was raising money for a good cause, it amounted to fascist radicalization and was tied to ACT for America.
