Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) on Monday called for an investigation into the Patriot Front white nationalist group after its Independence Day rally and march across Washington, D.C. “What I find odd about Patriot Front is how under Biden they were never investigated. Well funded. Never investigated,” Luna wrote in a post on the social platform X.
“FBI under Biden looked into Catholics instead. So, looks like @GOPoversight should do some digging,” she added, referring to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Luna’s push for a probe follows Patriot Front’s 400-person march throughout the nation’s capital on Saturday. Many of the people in the march were masked and uniformed, and some were carrying the American flag upside down.
The group is known for its “flash demonstrations,” making it one of the United States’s most visible white supremacist groups, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
On Sunday, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said he doesn’t agree with what Patriot Front stands for, but he defended the group’s First Amendment right to free speech.

The irony considering the MAGat CT - Jen Psaki mocks Joe Rogan over MAGA white nationalist conspiracy theory and throws strays at new FBI leadership (Wednesday 28 May 2025 16:27 EDT)
In the clip, Rogan is seen saying that he and author Matt Taibbi saw a video of Patriot Front, who appear in uniforms with their faces covered, and march carrying flags, and he said he had yelled: “They’re feds!”
“Where’s the fat people?” he continues. “They’re all, they’re all wearing the same uniform. One guy’s got a f***ing drum. Get the f*** out of here! These are feds! The day after Kash Patel gets in, they disband.”
Psaki explains that Patriot Front splintered off from the white nationalist group that planned the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, back in 2017, and has since “traveled all around the country spewing racist and antisemitic hate.”
She continued: “But rather than just condemn the group, right-wing conspiracy theorists and Trump allies have insisted that Patriot Front is actually just the FBI trying to make white nationalism seem like a bigger threat than it actually is.”
