According to local reports, the crew of approximately 40 also marched, with rifles in hand, in the region of the pro-Trump rally, handing out flyers promoting the "John Brown Gun Club" and "Redneck Revolt," which aims to "put the red back in redneck."

Many in the group were unironically wearing brown shirts, as well as black bandanas across their faces.

In typical Antifa operating fashion, they had assembled in a public space, but demanded that they not be filmed so as not to expose their identities, even warning one Phoenix New Times reporter, Stephen Lemons, that his iPhone could be damaged if he continue to record them.

"I'm just going to warn you that we're not responsible for anything that might happen to that phone," threatened one of the Brown Berets.
