Propaganda For White Supremacist Group Found In St. Charles

Stickers for the group showed up across town in recent days. The propaganda has since been taken down.

ST. CHARLES, IL – St. Charles has apparently become the latest in a string of suburbs this year to have propaganda from a white supremacist group show up in town. Stickers promoting the Texas-based Patriot Front were spotted in the downtown area but have since been taken down, city officials told the Daily Herald.

Patriot Front is a white supremacist group whose members maintain their ancestors conquered America and bequeathed it solely to them, according to the Anti-Defamation League. Patriot Front espouses racism, anti-Semitism and intolerance under the guise of preserving the “ethnic and cultural origins” of their European ancestors.
