Summary
Hundreds of masked Patriot Front members moved through Washington on Independence Day, carrying Confederate and upside-down American flags as the capital hosted events for the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.
Videos and photos placed the group at Eastern Market Metro, Union Station and Capitol Hill, with a reporter saying marchers called for reclaiming the country and getting rid of immigrants.
Patriot Front, founded in 2017 after the Charlottesville rally, promotes a white ethnostate and uses patriotic imagery to package white supremacist ideology, according to George Washington University and the ADL.
The march echoed a January demonstration in Washington, when about 100 Patriot Front members walked near the National Mall during the March for Life.
