Kluwe received mixed reactions from attendees and later praised law enforcement for their professionalism. The city council, composed entirely of conservatives, defended their decision to install the plaque amidst his protest.
Kluwe stated that MAGA is 'profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy and most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement,' equating the movement to historical fascism.
