FALLON, Nev. - Anti-racism protesters were outraged when two men showed up to their demonstration donning a hood like that of the Ku Klux Klan.

Desiree Lynn captured footage on June 8 that shows them approaching the group.

One of them dressed in a white T-shirt and shorts, similar to the white robes historically worn by the Klan. The other draped an American flag and President Donald Trump’s campaign flag over his shoulder.
