Hundreds of masked men carrying banners, including the Confederate flag, marched through Washington DC on the Fourth of July, the 250th anniversary of the US’s inception.

The group appeared to be led by Thomas Rousseau, founder of the neo-fascist, white supremacist organization Patriot Front. Members of the group wore white masks and gathered in front of DC’s Union Station. They later marched towards Capitol Hill, WTOP reported.

Members chanted “Life, liberty, victory!” and “Reclaim America!” during the Saturday demonstration, according to video posted on social media.

Images published by Reuters also showed masked members riding the DC Metro as other riders looked on warily.

1. Instead of white hoods......

White full length masks with hats to cover up their identity. The early 20th century again.

2. Funny how wearing masks has suddenly become the hot trend among fascists over the last year and a half.

4. I'll give them credit for masking before COVID

it was newsworthy that they somehow got a permit to march masked in DC before the 2020 masking guidelines. Marching while masked is illegal in DC because of the KKK rallies long ago.

This fascist group was founded during douchebag's first year in office
