On May 12, 2021, Valle participated [00:00:01] in GDL’s 4th “Name the Nose Tour (NTNT)” in Florida.

Later, GDL members went over [00:26:10] to the Holocaust Documentation and Education Center in Dania Beach, Florida, where they rallied [00:27:00] on the side of the road, speaking in a megaphone and holding up anti-Semitic banners denying the Holocaust and waving a Palestinian flag.
Jon Minadeo, GDL co-founder and leader, yelled [00:31:05] through a megaphone: “You Jews need to stop brainwashing our children with your bulls**t. Your Holocaust is bulls**t.”
Valle and other GDL members walked [00:40:08] further down along the highway and stationed [00:49:17] themselves outside a Chevron gas station. Minadeo shouted [01:09:30] at cars driving by on the road: “F**k these Jews! Get ‘em out! Get ‘em out of our country now!”
Valle then stomped [01:33:15] on the Israeli flag with his crutches, while other GDL members spat on it. Minadeo kicked the flag and said [01:33:23]: “F**k you, Jew! Get out!”
Valle stood next to a large banner held by other GDL members that read: “THE HOLOCAU$T WAS A LIE” and shouted [01:47:47] into a megaphone: “We will no longer fight Israel’s wars in the Middle East! The Jews lie, Germans die!...The Jews lie, Americans die!”
Valle also yelled [01:49:21]: “Get these Jews out! Get these Jews out!”
