Oregon neo-Nazi takes credit for anti-Semitic freeway signs ahead of 2017 eclipse [View all]

Drivers on headed north on Interstate 5 Saturday to view the eclipse were greeted with a jarring sight: anti-Semitic banners on overpasses.

Jimmy Marr, a Springfield neo-Nazi known for his public displays of racism and anti-Semitism, seemed to take credit for the banners Sunday on social media. Marr, 64, tweeted pictures of the signs and news articles about them.
