A group of protesters decried activist Chris Elston as a Nazi, seemingly unaware that Elston himself was standing in front of the crowd filming them.
The group was gathered at the Cranston Public Library in Rhode Island, where Elston was attending as a featured speaker on a panel to discuss “What Your Kids Learn About Gender in School” put on by the Independent Women’s Network (IWN).

“They came to decry me as a Nazi, but none of them knew I stood mere feet away, center stage, filming them,” Elston, who goes by “Billboard Chris” online, said.

IWN said in a Facebook post that protesters at the event disrupted the talk.
“What should’ve been a respectful discussion turned into anything but. Being pro-kid and standing against gender ideology, Nicole Solas and her IWN chapter were threatened with violence. Hundreds of protesters, including some with a history of violence, turned up outside the library,” the group said.
It is not clear if the protesters were affiliated with a particular group.
