Washington’s NBC affiliate reports:
A group of protesters describing themselves as nationalists interrupted an author’s book talk with chants of “This land is our land” at the popular Politics and Prose bookstore in Northwest Washington on Saturday.
The incident at Politics and Prose, an independent bookstore and local staple in the Chevy Chase neighborhood of D.C. happened Saturday afternoon according to the author, Jonathan M. Metzl, and filmmaker Catherine Wigginton, who was present during the interruption.
The men walked in and chanted “This land is our land” as Metzl, the director of the Center for Medicine, Health and Society at Vanderbilt University, was speaking about his new book, “Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland.”
It appears that the group is a rebranding of the white supremacist group Identity Evropa, which allegedly disbanded recently after multiple members were doxxed on social media.
So this bullshit just went down today at Politics & Prose. White nationalists disrupting @JonathanMetzl talk on his book Dying of Whiteness. Point made. @PM_Learn pic.twitter.com/nucKlrJ8X2

They were chanting “AIM, AIM, AIM” which I didn’t recognize. But we looked it up. It’s a group called “American Identity Movement.”

It’s just a rebranded version of the Identity Europa racists who helped plan the deadly C-ville Unite the Right rally.

Despite Identity Evropa being already banned by @PayPal, it’s back on the payment platform as the American Identity Movement.
IE/AmIM is believed to have switched back to collecting dues via @PayPal because @Zelle seems to have kicked them off recently.https://t.co/0BTmt4JSn5 pic.twitter.com/opjcUFuuPe
