Hundreds of masked white supremacists descended on the nation’s capital, proudly waving Confederate flags during the 250th Independence Day celebration.
The demonstrators were seen wearing hats emblazoned with the logo for the Patriot Front — a white nationalist group founded by Thomas Rousseau after the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, according to George Washington University’s Program on Extremism.
Counterprotester Heather Heyer was infamously killed at that rally when a madman plowed into her and several others.
Members of the group were snapped riding the DC Metro Saturday. In one shot, a black woman sitting on the train looks scared as all of the seats around her are occupied by the masked men.
The group chanted “Reclaim America,” as they marched from Washington, DC’s Union Station Saturday in a video posted on X by WTOP reporter Mitchell Miller.
Police were on the scene, and some National Guard members arrived in the area, Miller posted on X.
“The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) was tracking First Amendment activities that occurred this morning in the Eastern Market neighborhood. MPD recognizes the rights of individuals to peacefully express their views and remains committed to maintaining public safety and security for DC residents and visitors,” Metro police told The Post in a statement.

The feds started infiltrating this group to spy on the SPLC and just couldn’t stop...
That and the shiny shoes and pressed bib overalls with OshKosh price tags still on them.
I know it stuns folks here but I’ve seen legit right wing podsters say this group is legit
Peculiar but not the Feds
Prolly some in it though
This is the government doing it, IMO. They are showing us Kash Patel etc. Are ultimately powerless.
Fake or real, they are idiots.
Nah, they are just a bunch of dumb ass american neo-nazis.

All 31 members of a white nationalist group arrested on suspicion of conspiring to riot in Coeur d’Alene during a Pride event had bonded out of the Kootenai County Jail as of Sunday afternoon.
The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office released the names and photos of all suspects on Sunday, a day after the Coeur d’Alene police chief said the Patriot Front members were en route to the Pride in the Park event with riot gear, a smoke grenade and paperwork police say resembled an operations plan.
Patriot Front is a white nationalist group with branches across the country that specializes in vandalism, racist propaganda and “flash demonstrations” meant to intimidate minorities, according to a report from the Anti-Defamation League.
The Patriot Front members were discovered packed inside of the back of a U-Haul moving truck after a concerned citizen tipped police off about what looked like “a little army.”
Thomas R. Rousseau, the group’s founder, was among those arrested. Also arrested were Kieran P. Morris, Garret J. Garland and Mitchell F. Wagner, all of whom were documented by the Southern Poverty Law Center and activist groups as active members of hate groups, according to an April report by the center.
Wagner, who is listed in court documents to be from Florissant, Missouri, was charged with felony first-degree property damage after he was accused of defacing a Black history mural at Washington University in St. Louis in March, according to Southern Poverty Law Center and news reports from that area.
The Sheriff’s Office said the men were from all across the country, including Michigan, Texas, Alabama, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota, Washington, Oregon, Illinois and Arkansas. Court records indicate that at least one of the men had lived in Missouri.

These are my thoughts. They carry themselves with a bit more sophistication and a level of discipline that allows them to operate under the radar….men with young families, solid citizens with good jobs respected in their communities. Perhaps graduates of the Citadel, VMI and decendents of the Society of Cincinnatus (descendants of Washington’s officers).
False flag.
My guess.

I think so, too. It’s to make actual patriots look bad. This is not what loving America is about.
“Who’s paying those assholes?”
Probably the same evil globalists that are paying Antifa and the old hippy protesters 40$/hr……Soros and Sinclair who lives in China with the CCP.
Most likely soros and or the $PLC commies ....
Obviously.
As usual.
Patriot Front—interesting name. Brings to mind groups like the Thai Patriotic Front, a pro-Soviet Communist group that led an insurgency in Thailand in the 1960s, or the Fatherland Front, the Communist-led coalition that ruled Bulgaria during the years of Soviet occupation.
I think it’s double time.🤔
““The Press” didn’t catch it then either.”
The press covers it up. Amazing they can find one grandma who posted that Trump beating CNN meme but not single member of all these “glowies” from the feds.
We had to bail. All seven of us got all the way through the lines to the Mall, only to be booted out as soon as we got there for severe weather alert. Here’s the problem.
They announced that no full bottles of water could be brought to the Mall, only empty bottles to refill at stations. So we didn’t bring water. We were waiting outside the Department of Agriculture building hoping to wait out the alert and go back in, but my oldest son, 16, standing 5’9” and 90 pounds dripping wet, started going into clinical dehydration. We got in line at the nearest hor dog stand, but they ran out of drinks when they got to third in line.
It’s a medical event. I had to call it. So we’re on the Orange Line train out to Vienna where I have drinks in a cooler in the van.
But the flyovers were awesome!!
Are you sure they weren’t funded by the SPLC??
