Patriot Front marches through Washington D.C. during Independence Day weekend.
Approximately 400 masked members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front marched through Washington, D.C. on July 4, 2026, carrying American and Confederate flags. A viral photograph showed a Black woman, later identified as Bernita Bowlding, seated on a Metro train surrounded by group members. Republican lawmakers condemned the group's ideology while some figures promoted conspiracy theories about the organization.
