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. To gloriously dive into that pit of muck and hopefully emerge with something newsworthy.
Perhaps this fits this bill? 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. Reports put their numbers at around 100-200 people.
Information is sparse on who this group is. Some sites like the leftwing dumpster fire Southern Poverty Law Center claim they are an offshoot of the white supremacists that marched 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. Disappointing CNN and MSNBC greatly, this was not the repeat of January 6th the left are desperately hoping for prior to 2022. But questions still remain. Was this actually the “Patriot Front” on display? Who organized this? Who paid for it? Why has this group been essentially unheard of until now?
Videos showed U-Hauls coming to pick up the marchers, another odd occurrence.
The entire thing was just weird. Typically, when these white supremacist groups demonstrate, they make a big deal about it, advertise it, etc. because the entire point is to put eyes on their grotesque ideology. They also don’t typically hide their identities. In this case, a group of masked individuals show up to march with fake shields and then quickly retreat to box trucks? It’s actually illegal to ride in the back of a truck like that in D.C. Why didn’t the USCP give out tickets? Or 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. This took more than handing some Democrat staffers $20 to stand 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.
[As Bonchie reported above] a group of about 200 men wearing matching hats, blue jackets, and khaki pants marched in Washington, D.C., on Saturday. They marched around D.C. monuments then disappeared. It was absurd theater.
With few exceptions they all wore white masks and sunglasses, which gave a vibe of 200 dudes auditioning for a remake of the Invisible Man. Appropriately, they quickly disappeared, but instead of vanishing by stripping naked, they jumped into the backs of U-Haul trucks and sped away into the night — maybe to a Denny’s for early-bird dinner.
The group was reportedly called Patriot Front. What is Patriot Front? Only the 200 people wearing khaki pants likely know.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (which has labeled churches “hate” groups) claims that Patriot Front was founded after Charlottesville. Its founder is named Tommy Rousseau. Rousseau is a native of Dallas and founded Patriot Front, aka Invisible Khaki Men, when he was 18. According to the SPLC, they rarely come out in the daylight and rarely “rally” with other White Supremacists. So, besides being Invisible Men, and they might be vampires.
An appearance by Patriot Front is so rare and under the radar that when they pulled their khaki pants on yesterday, hardly anyone had heard of them. Twitter’s responses was, for the most part: “Huh? Who are these guys?”
So, march they did. They rallied at the Lincoln Memorial and marched down the steps to a chorus of boos, “F-U”s and middle fingers. They didn’t stay long (because Denny’s early-bird doesn’t last all night), and then headed to the rally point where U-Haul trucks were waiting to pick up Rousseau and his merry band of khaki pants. By they time they got the rally point, some were attacked by a bunch of thugs. Punches were thrown — and not a cop in sight.
This all looked and felt ridiculous. Some speculate that it was another failed Psyop by the useless midgets at the Lincoln Project, but it wasn’t. It was, likely, Patriot Front. But that doesn’t mean that all of the khaki pants were filled with PF khaki white supremacists. This was organized. Someone had to buy all the pants, hats and dark glasses. The Feds have the budget, and they had to know. I think the Feds told Rousseau “Dude, we’ll buy the pants.” Feds then went to Ross Dress for Less and bought all the uniforms. March on.
I am convinced that about 20 percent of them were Feds. I’m not going to do a Zapruder film and perform a frame by frame analysis of the marchers to match “FBI haircuts,” but some of those clowns were feds, guaranteed.
The “plot” to kidnap the governor of Michigan was so overloaded with informants and FBI agents, they likely outnumbered the accused. Here, I’m not sure they outnumbered the Patriot Fronters, but they were there.
Of the several U-Hauls in DC, I am pretty sure all of the Feds (all named “Agent Johnson”) met at one truck. Destination: the Hoover Building. Too bad they missed the Denny’s early-bird special.
