Lawyers remain in disbelief over ‘fascist Hellscape’ July 4 display in DC

Hundreds of members of the white nationalist hate group Patriot Front descended on Washington DC Saturday morning as the nation’s capital prepared to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.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.“What kind of fascist hellscape is [happening] on Pennsylvania Ave at the Eastern Market Metro stop?” Georgetown Law professor Josh Chafetz wrote on Bluesky upon spotting the group.Chafetz said the group appeared to be all white and all male.What kind of fascist hellscape is happing on Pennsylvania Ave at the Eastern Market Metro stop? These guys—seemingly all white, all men—have their faces covered, are carrying shields, wearing brown …[image or embed]— Josh Chafetz (@joshchafetz.bsky.social) July 4, 2026 at 8:43 AM“Absolutely terrifying to have white supremacist hate group Patriot Front march through our streets today in Washington, DC,” human rights lawyer Mai El-Sadany wrote on social media. “Their manifesto calls for a white ethnostate, excludes people of color from their definition of citizenship, and is deeply antisemitic and xenophobic.”In one video shared by WTOP reporter Mitchell Miller, members of the group stood in a line outside DC’s Union Station chanting, “Life, liberty, victory” and “Reclaim America.”A group of masked men gathered at Union Station today and called for reclaiming the country and getting rid of immigrants. Some held Confederate flags. They have been marching across Capitol Hill. pic.twitter.com/xTfaoJDHOO— Mitchell Miller (@mmillerwtop) July 4, 2026 According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), Patriot Front split from Vanguard America after the “Unite the Right” 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.“Patriot 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,” SPLC explains.The group believes that democracy no longer functions and wants to transform the US into a “pan-European” ethnostate that excludes both citizens of color and new immigrants and refugees.One image from a Reuters photographer shows the masked Patriot Front marchers standing around a Black woman sitting on the DC Metro.“This image is from today. A Black woman sits on the DC metro as masked white nationalists prepare to march on our nation’s capital. This is America’s 250th anniversary,” attorney Aaron Parnas posted on social media.This image is from today.

Trump receives stark warning from analyst: 'You've lost the New York Post'

President Donald Trump received a stark warning from a political analyst Saturday morning. Commentator Molly Jong-Fast took to X on Independence Day to share a less-than flattering editorial on the Trump family from a publication that typically sings their praises. "When you've lost the New York Post," Jong-Fast tweeted. The editorial in question chastises the president, with the Post's characteristic tabloid style, over reports that Trump's son Don Jr. and Eric are involved in a billion-dollar mining deal in Kazakhstan financed by the U.S. government."Hunter Biden-style sleaze is just as slimy when the Trump boys do it," wrote the Post editorial board. "It was bad when the Bidens did it, and it’s just as bad when the Trumps do it."Jong-Fast also shared a response from the thriller writer Brad Thor, who found himself on Independence Day in agreement with the New York Post."This should not be a partisan issue," Thor wrote. "If Americans were right to be angry about Hunter Biden trading on his father’s name, then Americans should be just as concerned when the Trump family is tied to deals involving foreign governments, federal support, and political access. Public service should never become a family revenue stream. One standard."Thor wasn't alone. "Never thought I see them say this but I agree!" wrote X user Emre Yurrtas. "The fact there are separate standards for each party on everything should bother everyone!"Jong-Fast was not the only one to urge Trump to change his ways. The Post editorial also had words of warning for the president. "Democrats in Congress are pressing for an investigation into Trump sweetheart deals," the Post said. "If they take the House in the midterms, these hearings are surely coming."
