Hundreds of Confederate flag-bearing men marched into Washington, D.C. on July 4th, according to multiple reports.In a post on X, journalist Mitchell Miller, a reporter for WTOP News, shared a video of what he described as "a group of masked men gathered at Union Station" with Confederate flags and calls for "reclaiming the country and getting rid of immigrants."

Miller added, "They have been marching across Capitol Hill." He wasn't the only one who captured the spectacle. PatriotTakes, which follows right-wing extremism, estimated in a post on X, "around 400 white nationalists Patriot Front members are marching in D.C. today with Confederate flags, etc."

PatriotTakes reported that "a streamer with the group described it as a 'total Aryan victory.'" Spencer Allan Brooks, a local D.C. reporter, also posted video of the masked men.

"White supremacist group Patriot Front is marching around Washington, DC this morning," he wrote. "They were seen at Union Station and in Capitol Hill neighborhoods."

1. Over/under on how many of them get their identity exposed by needing medical treatment for heatstroke?

[Sneederbunk]

2. Perhaps they are commemorating the Confederate defeats at Vicksburg and Gettysburg.

July 4, 1863 Vicksburg surrendered. July 4, 1863 was the day after Gettysburg defeat and Lee was in process of taking tail.

17. Yes, and I believe this win was considered a major turning point in the Civil War

I only hope we are paralleling this trajectory today.

3. Nothing says "Patriotism" like flying the flag

Of traitors and losers.

[C_U_L8R]

4. Trump's crowd finally shows up.

The Khaki Klown Klan just can’t resist an opportunity to do their fancy pageant walking.

[UpInArms]

7. And nothing shows pride more

than hiding one’s face

12. I can think of a good use of the National Guard

[oldinmtdem92]

[Mysterian]

16. Did they stop by the Supreme Court and say hi to Clarence Thomas?

[oasis]

34. Clarence "Long Dong Silver" Thomas would love

to kiss each one of their asses.

[DFW]

18. "Reclaiming the country??"

Which country? The CSA? The only thing that seems to have been missing was Jeff Davis leading the parade.

[dameatball]

19. If someone had just let these guys onto the baton club in high school this could all have been avoided.

[bernieb]

20. Really, they're cowards

Everyone of them masked. So, what are they afraid of? We're out there protesting with NO masks. If you've got to wear a mask, I don't believe you're actually committed to your cause.

[Sneederbunk]

21. Maybe it's just ICE in summer attire.

[The Grand Illuminist]

22. And nothing was done about it.

We are better than this.

[OldBaldy1701E]

36. That has been my complaint since this whole thing started.

[kimbutgar]

23. I don't know how to do polls on DU

But …

How many are married

In a relationship?

Man

Woman

Lives at home with a parental member

Is self loathing and wants to pass on his shortness to others?

[orleans]

24. "victory" my ass. i call it "total aryan losers"

maybe if they'd grow some genitals they wouldn't have to be such a bunch of mama's little boys

a few of them were lifting their legs so i guess they're trying to grow something but it just wasn't working.

[SergeStorms]

30. If there's no opposing force....

what, exactly, were they "victorious" over? Blisters on their feet? Heat stroke? Dehydration?

"Real" men, these mask wearing cowards.

[bromeando]

26. Traitors

A bunch of Nazis

[Dulcinea]

27. They left Mom's basement on the 4th of July?

Were they out of Hot Pockets? Bunch of total losers. I guess someone has to show up for the Fascist Felon's speech.

[Marie Marie]

28. Hoping for a scuffle so that they can get pardoned and then PAID from the Slush Fund for

their willingness to commit violence in the advancement of Trump's hate filled agenda.

[chouchou]

29. It's always exciting to wake up in America, with a pack of uneducated, hillbilly idiots.

[jmbar2]

31. Bwahahaha... Bad idea to wear matching tan pants.

Looks like they all crapped their pants.

33. 🤣

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

32. Why do they hate America?

[FakeNoose]

35. I looked at the video and I didn't see confederate flags

OK maybe there's one confederate flag, but all the others are regular US flags, some are posted upside down.

I seriously doubt there's 400 there, it's more like 200 or 250 people in that parade. It was 95 degrees in Washington so I think they melted their brains.

[BumRushDaShow]

37. I took the video to full screen and did a still near the beginning

There are at least 2 full Confederate flags there (circled) in that one screenshot alone, and a whole mix of other flag variations (including a "distress" one and some possible "battle flags" ). That was from about 39 seconds in.

They may have had that many participating if they were marching 4 - 5 deep in a long line.

[BradBo]

38. The Patriot Fromt is coming after black folks.

[dlk]

39. They are descendent of immigrants

Will they be self-deporting?
