Patriot Front Marches in DC on Independence Day

Approximately 400 masked members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front marched through Washington, D.C., on Independence Day, coinciding with celebrations of America's 250th anniversary.

The march, which featured members carrying Confederate flags, shocked residents and drew widespread condemnation from across the political spectrum.

The Interior Secretary defended the group's right to protest under the First Amendment, describing the incident as part of 'messy' democracy.

The demonstration highlighted the ongoing presence of white supremacist groups in the United States and the tension between free speech protections and public safety concerns.
