Patriot Front Marches in DC near March for Life 2022
In their second public appearance in two weeks, the nationalist ‘Patriot Front’ group mobilized in DC on the same day as the annual March for Life 2022 pro-life/anti-abortion rally.
The group, lead by self-described fascist Thomas Rousseau, held a permit separate from March for Life for a demonstration on Friday in DC. They marched with a large police escort near the M4L route along Constitution Avenue.
The large crowd of March for Life demonstrators, numbering in the tens of thousands, was briefly paused as police and PF moved onto the sidewalk, where they stood as a small group of counter-protesters accosted them from across police lines. One woman wearing a pink Trump hat and “Pro Life” shirt was arrested after running across the police line towards the PF group.
Eventually the group was escorted away from the M4L route and over towards the Gallery Place-Chinatown metro station. They loaded shields and flags into a Uhaul before departing on the metro to Virginia.
The group recently made an appearance at the March for Life Chicago on January 8th, which is documented here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEpiV_INeGg
