Taxi Drivers Reportedly Refuse Service to Racists Attending Far-Right Philadelphia Rally With Proud Boys

Far-right protesters, including members of far-right fraternal organization the Proud Boys, were reportedly left stranded after cab drivers refused to pick them up after a rally in Philadelphia.

Videos on Twitter show cab drivers, who arrived after the sparsely attended right-wing rally finished, swiftly leaving when they were told by counter-protesters they were there to pick up far right protesters.

"This is completely surreal," wrote Vice News correspondent Tess Owen on Twitter.

"Fascists are trying to take taxis, but the drivers keep leaving whenever they realize what's happening."

On a Facebook posting for the march, organizers declared "all Patriots, Militia, 3%, constitution loving Americans" and for those who were "pro good cop, pro ICE, pro law and order, pro life, pro American value, pro gun and anti illegal immigration"

However when they showed up Saturday, about two dozen far-right demonstrators were outnumbered by hundreds of left wing counter-demonstrators for the heavily policed event, reported the Daily Beast.

According to the outlet, among those who attended were members of the Proud Boys, a male-only group set up by Vice News co-founder and right-wing provocateur Gavin McInnes. Members of the group were arrested recently following an attack on a left wing protester outside the Republican Party offices in Manhattan.

Clashes were reported, as members of the Proud Boys confronted counter-protesters, including members of anti-fascist organisation Antifa. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that four people had been arrested.
