This couple wore Nazi flags around their faces inside a Walmart in Marshall, MN to protest the statewide mask mandate that took effect today. I confirmed with a store manager. Video was posted to FB by Raphaela Mueller pic.twitter.com/t3v96PKh25

There’s “mask Nazis” and then there’s these two jerks.
A man and woman in Minnesota marched through a Marshall Walmart donning red masks adorned with giant swastikas, video shows.
“If you vote for Biden, you’re going to be [living] in Nazi Germany. That’s what it’s going to be like,” the woman says in video shot and posted to Facebook by shopper Raphaela Mueller.
“You’re literally wearing a Nazi flag right now,” another shopper retorts.
“We literally had a f–king war over this. The Nazis lost. Please don’t wear those masks,” Mueller adds.
The woman responds by griping that her fellow patrons “aren’t getting it.”
“I’m trying to tell you: If you vote for Biden, you’re going to have socialism,” she says.
Police called to the scene warned the 56-year-old man and 64-year-old woman that they would face arrest if they return to the Walmart, the Star Tribune reported.
Both left without incident, the newspaper said.
I was born and raised in Germany, and I grew up hearing about my great-grandmother who fought in the underground against the first wave of Nazis in the 1930s and 40s,” Mueller said in a post accompanying the video.
“Let me make this abundantly clear once and for all – THE SWASTIKA IS A HATE SYMBOL AND YOU DO NOT FLY THE FLAG, YOU DO NOT WEAR THE SYMBOL ANYWHERE ON YOUR BODY, YOU DO NOT USE OR DEFEND THIS SYMBOL, EVER. END OF STORY.”
