Washington, July 3,(Vsn/Adnkronos/GNA) – A group of a few hundred white supremacist militants, paraded in Washington on the occasion of celebrations for the 250th anniversary of U.S. Independence.
The protesters, who arrived on Saturday morning at Union Station, marched with their faces covered and camouflage trousers, displaying Confederate flags and symbols of the supremacist movement “Patriot Front”, to the cry of “Let’s Reconquer America!”. There were no accidents or arrests.
The Trump administration’s Interior Secretary, Doug Burgum, defended the protesters’ freedom of expression. “There is nothing of the positions they hold that I can agree with, but one of the founding principles of the United States is freedom of expression, there are many things that I can personally find offensive and repugnant, but freedom of expression is allowed in America.”
