White nationalists march during July 4 celebrations in Washington, DC

Members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front staged marches in the Washington, D.C. area on Independence Day, wearing masks and military-style attire. The group, which aims to promote a white ethnostate, included participants chanting “Reclaim America” and displaying U.S. and Confederate flags. Critics have condemned former President Donald Trump for not adequately denouncing such extremist groups, particularly following past incidents like the 2017 Charlottesville rally. Senator Ed Markey called for condemnation of the marches, emphasizing that hatred and bigotry have no place in the nation.
