On the Fourth of July, hundreds of white nationalists wearing masks descended on Washington, D.C., staging a highly visible march through the nation’s capital.
The group behind the demonstration was Patriot Front, an organization that has drawn growing concern from civil rights observers and law enforcement watchers alike. Despite their public presence, many questions remain about the true nature of the organization — including who its members really are and how the group finances its operations.
The sight of hundreds of masked individuals marching through Washington on a national holiday raised immediate questions: what does this group actually represent, and is its public image an accurate reflection of what it truly stands for?
Investigators and journalists have been looking into the group’s funding sources and membership, suggesting that what the public sees from Patriot Front may not tell the whole story about the organization behind the masks.
