Religion News Service reports:
While politics is always a common theme at the gathering, this year attracted some extreme varieties. Along the edge of the crowd was a group of men with an “America First” logo. The flag was waved by insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 — including at least one who breached the Senate chamber — and is tied to Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist.
Footage showed the America First group chanting “Christ is King!” while marching on Thursday, a phrase they often shout when gathered. Meanwhile, members of Patriot Front also marched near the rally, handing out fliers to March for Life participants as police escorted them. The white nationalist group has attended anti-abortion protests in the past, although their arrival has frustrated organizers.
Gizmodo reports:
For the second time in as many years, American fascist organization Patriot Front is facing a humiliating leak of internal communications, messages revealing a trove of evidence pointing to coordinated criminal activities in multiple states, including New York, Washington, Indiana, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Oregon.
Experts consulted by Gizmodo say the material is likely to seriously damage Patriot Front, which the Anti-Defamation League has identified as one of the biggest sources of white supremacist propaganda in the U.S. and mostly recently was in the public eye for a march of an estimated 100 cadres on the National Mall in Washington, DC, last month.
Unicorn Riot has much more on the leak.

Patriot Front is white supremacist that broke off from Vanguard America after the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, where a man who marched with Vanguard America sped his car into a crowd, killing Heather Heyer.
Now they’re in DC again https://t.co/JI6ScCfxqT
