Bystanders booed as the far-right Patriot Front staged a rally in Washington DC to 'reclaim America'

More than a hundred members of a white supremacist group marched in downtown Washington, DC on Saturday evening while chanting "reclaim America," reports say.

Videos show members of Patriot Front outside the Lincoln Memorial wearing matching outfits of khaki pants, dark blue jackets, and baseball caps.







Some carried flags, shields, and photographs show one banner reading "victory or death."

Their faces were obscured mainly by sunglasses and white coverings around their noses and mouths.

there was a dumb white redneck in my Army training class in 1967 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He was proud of the KKK hood and robe he kept in the trunk of his car.

And if they were so careless as to lose America once, why do they think they get to have it back?

like this guy did in 2015 . . .



"Dance of the Cuckoos," better known as the theme song for Laurel & Hardy.

You can even intersperse it, as this guy did, with bars from Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries." Makes 'em feel right at home.

They all went to chic-fil-a afterwards to discuss how good they looked out there and how they were disappointed that there were no hippies or POC to assault.
