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.

Nothing says patriot like hiding your face while waving the flag of the losing side in the civil war of the nation you claim to love.

This article is the epitome of values on which USA was founded and has operated, ever since. Stop worshipping a piece of paper. It is not, never was, and never will be meant for anyone but rich, white, male marauders.

Thats not even the correct "Confederate" flag. I swear if you took the masks off there wouldn't be three teeth for them to share. BTW... I'm a born and bred southerner and want to put my biggest boot up their ass.

Maybe Trump can lead the new Confederacy and ruin their country. We can probably part with the deep south, just leave us New Orleans.
