The choke hold. (Picture YouTube/Alt Right Pepe General Franco.)

A follower of the racist so-called alt-right shouted But what about the memes? as he was kicked out of a far-right rally.

Footage has emerged of a man, armed with hand-drawn renderings of Pepe the Frog, being unceremoniously kicked out of a nationalist rally in Texas.

He was holding signs saying RED SCUM YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED when participants in the rally started telling him that he needs to leave.

But what about the memes? he pleads with the group, pointing to the memes he had painstakingly painted onto sheets of card.

A woman in military camo then tells him to get the fuck out, and he dejectedly replies: But these are good memes.

And when another man shouts at him Dude, this is not Comic Con!, he replies, clearly disheartened: I know. I just came to make friends.

Things quickly escalated, with one rally participant grabbing the alt-right guy from behind and putting him in a stronghold.

The man eventually conceded defeat, and ended up having to find sanctuary with the police.

The right-wing rally was in Houston, and saw hundreds of individuals most of whom were armed descend on a park in the city.

They were reportedly protesting what they claimed were efforts to remove a statue of historic Texas figure Sam Houston because he owned slaves.

In cities across America, statues of Confederate heroes are being removed due to historic racist undertones.

Sam Houston, who was the Republic of Texas first president, owned slaves but he also refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy.
