A ‘Right-Wing’ Group Marches on the Capitol

You were probably busy doing something better with your life yesterday than monitoring social media for leftwing consternation, but that’s why I’m here. I’m here to help you bravely get into this pit of mud and hopefully find something new.

Maybe this is the one? Last night, videos began to circulate of a largely unheard of “right-wing” group called the “Patriot Front” marching in costume toward the US Capitol Building. Their numbers are estimated to be between 100 and 200.

The details of who these people are are not known. Southern Poverty Law Center’s leftwing trashcan fire website claims that they are an offshoot from the white supremacists marching at Charlottesville. While searching for more sourcing, I noticed “Patriot Front” has a new Wikipedia page that appears to only be five hours old or at least was updated five hours ago as of this writing.

So they apparently marched toward the Capitol…and that was it. This was a disappointing result for MSNBC and CNN, but it wasn’t the January 6th that the left is desperately seeking. But questions still remain. Was this actually the “Patriot Front” on display? This was organized by who? It was paid for by who? This group has been virtually unheard-of until now.

Video footage showed another strange phenomenon: U-hauls came to pick up marchers.

It was all just bizarre. This is what happens when white supremacist organizations demonstrate. They make huge deals about it and promote it. Because the whole point of these white supremacist groups is to draw attention to their horrific ideology. They also don’t typically hide their identities. A group of mask-wearing individuals arrive with false shields to march and quickly flee to the box trucks. It’s actually illegal to ride in the back of a truck like that in DC. Why didn’t the USCP give out tickets? Arrest anyone?

Admittedly, that’s pure speculation, and I’m skeptical The Lincoln Project has the kind of coin to pull off a stunt like this. The act required more than having Democrat staffers pay $20 each to sit in front of a bus. Yet, would it really surprise anyone if some left-wing activist organization paid the “Patriot Front” to do this in order to try to embarrass those on the real right and gin up more January 6th hysteria? It’s not like that hasn’t happened before.

It’s also odd that they didn’t actually go to the Capitol. I mean, if a radical, racist group is going to go through all this trouble, you’d think they’d do more than prance around the National Mall before being picked up by U-hauls and Penske trucks.

But I digress. Perhaps we’ll find out more in the coming days. Or maybe we won’t and everyone will forget about this by tonight. That’s probably a safe bet.
