DOCUMENTARY VIDEO THREAD: Avowed fascist group "Patriot Front" today marched in Washington DC alongside the anti-abortion "March for Life."

MPD escorted the group through the streets, using bikes to repel a handful of counter-protesters and separating PF from the rest of M4L.

MPD's Commander Robert Glover spoke to avowed fascist Patriot Front leader Thomas Rousseau.

Glover seemed frustrated at the groups path, asking "What do you want?"

After Rousseau clarified, Commander Glover said "So the original plan?"

Rousseau: "Yes!"

Glover: "Okay."

This was the one arrest I documented.

A woman wearing a "Trump" hat and "Pro Life" shirt ran across the police line at the Patriot Front fascist group, and was pulled down by cops.

They arrested her, taking what appeared to be a taser in her possession.

She was visibly bloody.

The police ultimately escorted the fascist group "Patriot Front" away from the March for Life, and brought them to the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro Station.

They pushed media and others away to give Patriot Front exclusive access to the area.

After several minutes of waiting around, a large U-Haul arrived.

The "Patriot Front" folks led by avowed fascist Thomas Rousseau put all their flags and shields into the U-Haul before being escorted by police into the Metro, which they presumably used to exit the city.

Here is my full documentary video reel of fascist group "Patriot Front" being escorted throughout DC by MPD and confronted by counter-protesters.

As always, all @N2Sreports footage is available to license.
