White Supremacist Group Marches on Capitol Hill on July 4

Demonstrators wearing the insignia of the white supremacist group Patriot Front marched through Washington's Eastern Market neighborhood and Capitol Hill on Saturday as the United States marked the 250th anniversary of its independence.

Protest in Washington

The protesters wore white masks, sunglasses and the group's trademark tan caps while carrying Confederate flags, Patriot Front flags and upside-down U.S. flags. Images also showed members of the group traveling on Washington's public transit system earlier in the day.

Outside Union Station, participants chanted slogans including "Life, liberty, victory!" and "Reclaim America!"—phrases commonly associated with Patriot Front.

Demonstrations Coincide With Independence Celebrations

The march took place as large crowds gathered on the National Mall for the federal government's "Salute to America" celebration. The event was set to conclude with a speech by President Donald Trump and a fireworks display expected to last 40 minutes.

The Trump administration has made the country's 250th anniversary a major focus in recent months, promoting initiatives such as the Great American State Fair and restoration work at the Reflecting Pool as part of the commemorations.

Later in the day, a separate group of anti-Trump demonstrators was seen heading toward the White House carrying a large banner depicting the Declaration of Independence. They also chanted "8647," a slogan calling for Trump's removal from office.

Group's Background

Patriot Front was founded in 2017 by Thomas Ryan Rousseau after he broke away from the alt-right group Vanguard America following the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The group's website describes Patriot Front as a "fraternal, nationalist, activist organization" and says its members seek to promote a vision centered on people of European ancestry.

Police Response

Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser's office referred inquiries to the Metropolitan Police Department.

In a statement, the department said it was monitoring First Amendment-related activity that took place in the Eastern Market area.

"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," the statement said.

Imagine what is going through this poor chap's head.

Notice that these guys did not go to Anacostia, DC's notorious crime center*. The hard boys would have taken care of them alright.

*presently the crime center of DC is Capitol Hill/Supreme Court building/ and of course The Presidential Palace (wink!)

Notice how the tradition in the US for racist organizations is to cover the faces, almost like they know they are shameful and can't bear to look at themselves going such stuff.

It’s funny how white guys didn't attack anyone. I’d rather be among these individuals than a group of black guys from Anacostia. I'd feel safer and not end up like Iryna Zarutska.

You would think racist groups like this, and all the bad press the USA gets it would be falling off a cliff. Bad actors in the USA are protected under free speech laws and not banned or exterminated like in other countrie

Do you want them rounded up and placed into camps like a Nazi?

WARNING: some foul language

I see this as just another optic in what historically started as another Dem rebellion against the federal government. Come to find out, left wing NGOs like the SPLC have now been indicted by the feds for fraud, after being accused of manufacturing this exact sort of thing again to raise donor money.

Finally the good guys get to march.

Some fresh air after the pride parades last month.

So now the ones waving the confederate flag and hiding their faces behind masks and scarves are the good guys? You must be one of them 'real patriots', like the Proud Boys, or the 3 percenters. Have you ever bothered to actually read the constitution, instead of using it as a prop for your faketriosm?

Pride stands for love and inclusion, white nationalism for hate, division and bigotry. You supporting the latter shows us what you stand for. As if we didn't know that already.

Lefties are identifying everyone for lawfare or repercussion after they get in power again.

So people like ICE agents and these patriots need to cover their faces.

The Patriotic Front are racist white supremacists who cover their faces when they march. They are literally the KKK. If you say that these are your “good guys,” frankly, I have to extend kudos to you, for telling us in no uncertain terms exactly who you are.

Oh, give me a break. They make public statements, especially their Grand Wizard, Thomas Rousseau, who’s the only one of them who doesn’t hide behind a mask. If you count some of these people among your friends, then I have nothing more to say to you.

Unlike the other posters here, I have actually spoken with members of Patriot Front. They are not White Supremacists, but they do lean towards being White Separatists. They also have a fundamental belief in the self improvement of men through exercise, martial arts, etc. This alone makes them a target in the West where men are supposed to be weak and helpless.They are not violent people even though they have the capacity for violence, they choose to be peaceful. They are also some of the most polite people I have even met.

It's obvious that many people here hate White men, mostly because of the propaganda from the legacy media.

I'm really glad to be talking firsthand with someone who knows them. The part I don't get is "White". Why White? Lotsa good people everywhere. Nobody's "supreme". If any of these folks were part of the Jan 6 attempted coup, I'd write them off my guest list.

Only in a country blessed with such expansive First Amendment freedoms could a group celebrate Independence Day by parading symbols of division while insisting it represents patriotism.

It’s a remarkable system!

One that protects every voice, even those determined to shout past the meaning of the day.

Hate to be a wet blanket but those masks are supposed to protect people from surveillance. Every single person at any of these events is in a database for future action...or not.

At least at the pride parades people weren’t hiding behind masks, and their flags stand for inclusion not division!

They showed their faces and their booty! As it should be!

You know those guns are just substitutes for micropenis, right?

There is no Antifa organization. None.

It is an idea, an attitude. For example, the US armed forces in WWII were 'antifa' aka 'antifascist'

I thought Antifa was an idea about being Antifascist

I believe the poster is jokingly implying that these people are a "Black Flag" operation, being run by Antifa, that seeks to create anxiety about the growth of Right Wing extremists.

The idea behind such an operation might be to make the establishment of an organised, uniformed and "attributable" Antifa seem like a justifiable and neccessary counter force against Right Wing extremists.

Of course, like the poster, I'm only joking.

"Black propaganda is covert disinformation deliberately attributed to a false source—often the very group it aims to discredit—in order to undermine that group's credibility. Black propaganda contrasts with gray propaganda, which does not identify its source, as well as white propaganda, which does not disguise its origins at all. It is typically used to vilify or embarrass the enemy through misrepresentation."

I think we can only imagine where we would have been if we were born in another place, another time, with parents who, for unknown reasons, were not able to give us a secure childhood. No safety net whatsoever, not even from those who were supposed to serve and protect.

No jokes

One thing about the Klan that many people forget or never learned is that they were almost exclusively Southern Democrats.
