The leftwing media and the mayor of Nashville Sunday slammed a group of “white nationalists,” long suspected as being false flag operators, for marching in Nashville.
“Yesterday, a number of people shockingly comfortable publicly identifying themselves as white nationalists marched through Nashville. My first priority in this moment—as always—was the safety of Nashvillians,” Mayor Freddie O’Connell said on X, referencing a group called Patriot Front. “I refuse to platform hate actors, so I have no interest in giving any group or member the attention they seek.”

O’Connell, labeling the members of the group as “Nazis,” recognized that members of the group were exercising their First Amendment rights and that the group did nothing illegal, but said that, “Going forward, we’re exploring how we can thoroughly address unlawful activity of the group and prevent it in the future.”
O’Connell wasn’t the only one to disavow the group, which largely operates in the shadows, leaving questions about whether it is a legitimate group, or some kind of false flag operation meant to stoke fear about “Naziism” in America.
WSMV parroted O’Connell’s X posts in a news story of its own.
“Members of a far right group marched through the streets of downtown Nashville Saturday afternoon,” reported NewsChannel5 in Nashville. “Dozens of men in blue shirts and khakis, covering their faces with white cloths, sunglasses, and wearing baseball caps marched around downtown Nashville.”
Members of the group often cover their entire faces with masks, sunglasses and baseball caps to disguise themselves.
“However, some powerful people believe that the group is a false flag organization.
“I’ve never heard of this group,” said Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) on X. “Any chance this is a false flag operation?”
Even Elon Musk, the owner of X, has suggested on his social media platform that group may not be legitimate, asking why, when members of the group were arrested in Idaho in 2022, they weren’t unmasked by police while they were handcuffed.

FED! FED! FED! FED! (way too scripted)
Gosh. I thought that they were the very privileged supporters of Hamas. But that would not make sense because Freddie Boy would not object if that were the case.
