Members of the group, wearing masks and carrying Confederate and US flags, rode the DC metro and marched around parts of Capitol Hill before departing the city by train, as WUSA reported. Beyond the march itself, no other incidents were reported connected to the group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat kind of fascist hellscape is [happening] on Pennsylvania Ave at the Eastern Market Metro stop?\u201d Georgetown Law professor Josh Chafetz wrote on Bluesky upon spotting the group.<\/p>\n

Chafetz said the group appeared to be all white and all male.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely terrifying to have white supremacist hate group Patriot Front march through our streets today in Washington, DC,\u201d human rights lawyer Mai El-Sadany wrote on social media. \u201cTheir manifesto calls for a white ethnostate, excludes people of color from their definition of citizenship, and is deeply antisemitic and xenophobic.\u201d<\/p>\n

In one video shared by WTOP reporter Mitchell Miller, members of the group stood in a line outside DC\u2019s Union Station chanting, \u201cLife, liberty, victory\u201d and \u201cReclaim America.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), Patriot Front split from Vanguard America after the \u201cUnite the Right\u201d rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017, at which white supremacist James Alex Fields Jr. drove his car into counterprotesters, killing anti-racist activist Heather Heyer and injuring 35 others.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatriot Front is an image-obsessed organization that rehabilitated the explicitly fascist agenda of Vanguard America with garish patriotism. Patriot Front focuses on theatrical rhetoric and activism that can be easily distributed as propaganda for its chapters across the country,\u201d SPLC explains.<\/p>\n

The group believes that democracy no longer functions and wants to transform the US into a \u201cpan-European\u201d ethnostate that excludes both citizens of color and new immigrants and refugees.<\/p>\n

One image from a Reuters photographer shows the masked Patriot Front marchers standing around a Black woman sitting on the DC Metro.<\/p>\n

Melanie D\u2019Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health, blasted the group for carrying Confederate flags and embracing fascism while claiming the mantle of US patriotism.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have no right to call yourself a \u2018[patriot]\u2019 while carrying the flag of one of America\u2019s enemies, and claiming victory on behalf of the ideology that fueled another\u2014both of which the US defeated,\u201d D\u2019Arrigo wrote on social media.<\/p>\n
