Washington Post s feature
Identifying far-right symbols that appeared at the U.S. Capitol riot, (January 15, 2020) contains an actual photo, highlighted but not actually Photoshopped, of a flag which they have labeled with our name, which is
not our flag.
I/3 If there is hope, it lies in the Left s craziness. WaPo tries to smear us as Domestic Terrorists because of this flag at the Capitol protest but a) it s not the VDARE flag and b) we only adopted the VDARE flag as a joke because.#AmericanReichstaghttps://t.co/DfFPly56x6pic.twitter.com/WlqjfvrdNo Peter Brimelow (@peterbrimelow) January 16, 2021

As usual, the MSM defamed us as “white supremacist” and “white nationalist” (see our FAQ page:
Is VDARE.com “White Nationalist?”), but we also received an outpouring of support on social media including the comment, “if you sell this I will buy it.”
Ask and you shall receive!

“It should have had a white doe” a supporter said of Trump’s logo. Fixed it for you!
There s also a report from Canadian broadcaster CTV:
Several Confederacy flags, patches and shirts were seen in photos from the Capitol, along with the red and yellow flag of the old South Vietnam regime and VDARE-like paraphernalia – an American website that is anti-immigration and affiliated with white supremacist, white nationalist and the alt-right – were also seen in footage reviewed by CTV News.ca
