Masked, Far-Right Patriot Front Members March in D.C., Get Booed by Bystanders
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington D.C., over 100 masked white supremacists from the Patriot
Front paraded in front of the Lincoln Memorial and on the national mall
Saturday evening. The demonstrators wore matching blue jackets, white
neck gaiters, brown boots and hats - and khaki pants similar to those
worn by far-right protesters in 2017's deadly "Unite the Right" rally in
Charlottesville. They held shields, upside-down U.S. flags, and a banner
that said "Reclaim America". Bystanders booed as the leader of the hate
group gave a speech. Over two dozen participants reportedly found
themselves stranded after the bizarre display, when their ride, a rented
U-Haul truck, was not able to fit all of them inside.
