Local sportsmen's club rented 'under false pretenses' event promoting white supremacy

Pitcairn Monroeville Sportsmen’s Club was allegedly misled when an event held at its facility turned out to be an event promoting white supremacy and Neo-Nazism.

Phil DiLucente said the club’s management understood a recent event booked by a member to be a wake.

DiLucente offered this message to the club’s 2,500 members.

“They are not only confused, but they’re also disturbed that this could actually transpire under their watch, and so, now that they have recognition that it actually transpired, they want to make sure that all the members know that they don’t support this, and it will never happen again,” DiLucente said.

Sure there are a few Repukes around here, but they're outnumbered and they know it. As a matter of fact there are more deerhunters here than Repukes. Plenty of deerhunters, not so many Repukes, but DAMN FEW white supremacists.

That's what I've seen in Western Pennsylvania. The white supremacists (wherever they are) have to hide what they're doing, because it won't be tolerated by the communities they live in. Why do you think they booked this private club using subterfuge? Because they wouldn't have been allowed in otherwise.

Please stop saying we are racists in Western PA. It's simply not true.
