Far-right group Patriot Front took to the streets of DC to march towards the US Capitol in the latest appearance of the white nationalist front. 

Approximately 200 people advanced along the National Mall on Saturday, flanked by police to keep the extremists separated from a small group of counter protestors. 

According to its website, the white nationalist group claims its ‘activism’ is intended to assert ‘cultural independence’ founded in ‘our European race’. 

The Patriot Front made headlines last month when they descended on SatanCon in Boston, where the ‘largest Satanic gathering in history’ saw furious clashes between the far-right activists and religious zealots.

The group donned tan khaki pants and navy shirts, completed with white masks and sunglasses to hide their identities. 

A small number of counter protestors gathered nearby, while the white nationalists could be heard chanting: ‘Life, liberty and victory’.  

Large American flags, megaphones and shields were also present as members of the Patriot Front marched. It is unclear if the men were armed as they descended on Washington, and there are currently no reports of injuries or arrests. 

The group was escorted through the National Mall by police to keep the extremists away from counter protestors, who screamed at the mask-wearing zealots while they paraded through the city. 

After marching through the Capitol for around an hour, the men were seen putting American flags and shields into white U-Haul vans. 

A large police presence then ushered the group to a nearby train station, where officers blocked off the entrance to the public to allow the group to enter the metro unimpeded. 

In a video posted to Telegram, a Patriot Front member leaving the march said it was a ‘good demonstration’ and the militants ‘stayed tight and stayed in formation’.

‘Put simply, we’ll be back,’ he added in a chilling warning.

Saturday’s appearance is the latest of several events the group have put on in DC, after they previously staged a counter march to run parallel to the 2022 ‘March for Life’. 

It is unclear what spurred the extremists to march on the Capitol, however the group says its activism is fueled by a belief that ‘America will be unshackled by tyrannical rule.’

A leader of the group previously stated on a podcast in July 2022 that the organization aims to ‘make the men who will make the nation’. 

‘We’re creating an organization that can become a legitimate body of rule making… our ideology demands that we stand up for something,’ he added. 

Members routinely graffiti and place stickers on structures across the nation, and it’s claimed Massachusetts and Texas are the most commonly hit regions.

The group regularly join other protest groups unannounced, and reportedly aim to avoid counter protests by holding events without permits or outside press.  

When SatanCon got underway in Boston last month, the white nationalists joined furious religious protestors outside the event. 

Billed as ‘the largest Satanic gathering in history,’ the summit was heavily disrupted by the demonstrations.

The Patriot Front members were seen brandishing crucifixes at the Satanists as they formed a blockade outside the conference.
