Patriot Front (white nationalist group) march in downtown Des Moines

https://www.weareiowa.com/article/news/local/extremist-group-patriot-march-iowa-state-capitol-east-village-des-moines/524-3a209e08-d574-4ab1-93b8-143eaec953bf

DES MOINES, Iowa — An extremist group known as Patriot Front was seen marching around downtown Des Moines on Saturday.

Video shows masked group members marching in the East Village and outside the Iowa State Capitol. Members can be heard chanting phrases like "Reclaim America," "One Nation Against Invasion" and "Life, Liberty, Victory."


The local news in Iowa asked the GOP for a statement , but of course, they did not respond. Dangerous assholes all.

At around 1 p.m. the group of people marched together wearing jackets, hats, and white masks. In video’s posted by the group, some are seen carrying the 13 colonies flag and the An Appeal to Heaven flag, while other carried banners with the words “Deport Invaders, Keep America American.”

masks increases the chances that hateful rallies will be held. They depend upon hate with impunity.

2) damn! I missed an opportunity to moon haters!

The poster commented that it was telling that they all covered their faces with masks.
