Around 200 members of Patriot Front masked up to hide their identities and marched outside Philadelphia City Hall on Saturday night. Forever stuck on Donald Trump’s false claim that the election was stolen from him, they chanted as much throughout the night, while flying American flags and banners saying “Reclaim America.”

According to police, the group came in from out of town—Patriot Front is based out of Texas and has traveled to other cities to try to spread their hate in the past.

But Philly locals weren’t having it. As the hate group marched through the city, there were reports of people who encountered them doing everything from yelling to banging on trucks to other “physical encounters.”

Nothing like taking your kids to Philadelphia for the 4th & running into literal Nazis. These scumbags belong to the group Patriot Front. That may or may not be my kids & I joining a growing crowd yelling at the spineless dickholes & chasing them away from City Hall. #fucknazis pic.twitter.com/bqYviUq1Bd

“They started engaging with citizens of Philadelphia, who were none too happy about what they were saying,” police officer Michael Crum told WPVI-TV. “These males felt threatened, and, at one point, somebody in their crowd threw a type of smoke bomb to cover their retreat, and they literally ran away from the people of Philadelphia.

As word of the impromptu mob—and the city’s reaction—spread online, people applauded the citizens of Philadelphia for standing up and swatting the white supremacists back down.

The residents of Philly responded appropriately to the white extremist group Patriot Front: they literally chased them out of town. Then cops pulled over the box trucks PF rented, which means Feds may have access to a massive, fresh membership roster. These fascists fucked up. https://t.co/qFUdGibCLG

Yesterday,a white supremacist group called “Patriot Front” marched in the streets of my hometown Philadelphia chanting lies about the election being stolen.

Onlookers who were there to see fireworks chased them away, cursed at them and threw things at them. I love Philly.

May I just say that I am proud of the citizens of Philadelphia yesterday who confronted and threw hands with Patriot Front as they tried to march through the city.

Nazis can stay the fuck outta Philly.

They fucked around and found out. https://t.co/htkwH4h3y0

The idea that this group went to the trouble of organizing and coming up to Pennsylvania from Texas but still got chased out of town by random bystanders didn’t escape people, either.

Patriot Front does popup rallies to avoid, and because they are afraid of, any even slight counterprotest.

Of course, they still managed to f that up because they could mess up making a slice of buttered toast where the bread’s already been toasted.

and then they get chased out by literal children and a small handful of hecklers. And then get detained by cops and then some of them will probably be doxed anyways.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. This fascist is actually trying to argue that Patriot Front wasn’t running away, they were just advancing in the opposite direction. https://t.co/HRuf3Nzfcw

Texas KEEPS embarrassing itself. They asked for it, getting chased out of that city, they shouldn’t have been there stirring up trouble in the first place. Good show, Philly!

May citizens of every city react similarly to racist hate groups marching through its streets.
