Fox News reported Tuesday that two men dressed as Black Panthers were intimidating voters at a polling place in Philadelphia.

According to the report, the two men were standing near the entrance to the polling place and one of them was brandishing a night stick.

"We got a phone call that there was intimidation going on. I walked up to the door, two gentlemen in Black Panther garb, one of them brandishing a nightstick, was standing immediately in front of the door," said a Republican poll watcher who was interviewed by Fox News. "As I walked up they closed ranks. I'm an Army veteran; that does not scare me. So I walked directly in between them and went inside and found poll watchers, they said they had been here for an hour, and they told us not to come outside because a black man is going to win this election no matter what."

According to the report, the police arrived and escorted the Black Panther with the nightstick off the premises. The poll watcher did speculate that the men's intention was to intimidate voters and that their motive was racial.

"So as I came back outside to see, the (man with the) nightstick turns around and says, 'We're tired of white supremacy.' And starts tapping the nightstick in his hand," said the poll watcher.

The Black Panthers, also known as The Black Panther Party, was a militant political group that was formed in the 1960s in Oakland, Calif., by Huey Newton. The original party dissolved in the 1970s, but there are still organizations that call themselves Black Panthers and dress in the militant style of the original Black Panthers.
