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.

The January 6th Committee says it has subpoenaed far-right, self proclaimed “white majoritarian” Nick Fuentes.

My footage of Fuentes at the December 12 “Million MAGA March” was cited in the impeachment trial of President Trump.

Fuentes supported Trump, and advocated against all institutions in Trump’s path, including mainstream conservatives.

Rolling Stone was among the first outlets to write about my footage.

This is the clip of my footage being used in the impeachment trial.

The clip was erroneously attributed at the bottom of the screen to a Twitter user who exploited the platform’s “embed” feature to obscure the original source.

BREAKING: Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio released from DC jail after serving four months and a week out of a five month sentence.

Tarrio pled guilty last year to two charges for burning a BLM banner they took from a church and possessing two rifle mags when he was arrested.
Enrique Tarrio was subpoenaed by the @January6thCmte while he was incarcerated.

"I plan to comply with the January 6 Committee to the best of my ability," he tells me.

Asked if he's nervous about the investigation, he says "absolutely not."

"That's not an issue for me."
Stewart Rhodes, leader of the Oath Keepers, was arrested just yesterday for "Seditious Conspiracy."

As Tarrio departed from the jail, I asked whether the case concerns him.

He says he is "absolutely not" worried the feds are coming for him next.

BREAKING: Ten Oath Keepers and associates including leader Stewart Rhodes charged with "seditious conspiracy" for January 6.
This is my uncut video of the moment the Oath Keepers stack breached the Capitol East side.

(Footage available to license)

Rhodes will be an interesting case. I photographed him on the Capitol East side; he was generally speaking to several men, but he did not appear to go inside or physically get involved with the action.

Fun news today in the federal regulatory state:

Today, DHHS will publish its final ruling on the definition of the term “French Dressing.”

In a 14-page draft document, they say they plan to follow the Association for Dressings and Sauces’s advice to drop the legal definition.
According to their economic analysis, the federal government reforming the definition of “French Dressing” is not expected to have an impact on the economy.

The “227 distinct pourable products sold as ‘French dressing’” will not have to rename.

The DHHS also evaluated that changing the definition of “French dressing” is not expected to:

-Cause measurable environmental impact

-Alter federalism by changing the relationship between national government and the states

-Affect tribal governments

"Can we hear it for constitutional patriots like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger," said @RepRaskin tonight.

"Progressives and liberals can never defeat fascism on their own."

"It is always progressives and liberals and the center right that come together to defend democracy."
"We saved democracy," says @RepJayapal of Jan 6.

"And when I say 'we' I am not talking about 'we members of congress.' I am talking about 'we the people'" she says, commending those who voted out Trump.

She adds there "wasn't enough courage" to convict Trump on impeachment.
DC Congresswoman @EleanorNorton pointed out that DC's local police department worked to defend the Capitol "yet House Republicans fight DC by fighting against the DC statehood bill only a few months after the attack."
