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.

You put real nazis in quotes, but that is what the SLPC was doing, paying real nazis. That’s what makes SLPC so evil.
