Pretty sure Patriot Front is a real organization, since they have articles about them on the web going back almost three years. They were not just "made up" for the event. I think it unlikely that the weird appearance of everything demonstrates the rally was fake.
On the other hand, the entire organization MAY be fake, going back years. It's just that they've already been noticed by the SPLC.
Because if they existed for real AND a bunch of pretenders of their organization showed up as them - they'd be complaining.
So - my guess - it's all fake. Top to bottom.

Every other day the progs come up with a "white supremacy group" that nobody has ever heard of, yet are a THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY!! 
They don't say a word about BLM and AntiFa rioting and destroying whole cities, though, beating and killing people.

Unless someone can trace those U-Haul trucks and figure out WHO rented them - this group that no one has ever heard of evidently does exist and Snopes even has some more thorough evidence of who they are, who's in charge, who at the rally COULD be identified and who he is and where he comes from.
They're small, but they exist.

Is White Supremacy Really as Prevalent as They’re Claiming?
If you’ve been to a genuine righty event — we’ve been to more than we can recall — you know the delightfully motley assortment of characters you’ll find there.
Older. Maybe not so fit anymore. No one wears a uniform, and the protest signs are all handmade.
These things are about as well organized as a Saturday afternoon at Costco, which is probably where everyone was going once the rally ended.
Good people, genuine grassroots, salt of the earth. In Insanity Wrap’s case, certainly an increasing amount of salt relative to the pepper in our hair.
Remembering all that, we’re supposed to believe these guys from the photos and videos are part of the right?
Please.

Apparently, a hundred or so members of the white supremacy group marched through Washington. More would have shown up, but due to supply chain disruptions, the Feds couldn’t buy enough new pairs of Dockers.
not a middle age fat guy among them

Patriot Front: is it real action or a government distraction?
The radical left seized on this saying it was another example of right-wing extremism, but is it? A quick check of the group’s website shows nothing mentioned about this “planned event.” You can also check their social media page on Gab, which other sites use to credit the group, which shows no activity since November 27.
If you were going to plan a big event such as this in order to get attention, wouldn’t you announce it? I mean, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and other underground groups all use social media as a means to promote and garner attention for their rallies.
Even the radical left has maintained that social media was used to get attention for the events on January 6. Social media outlets were used to promote the Trump rallies and this has led to the calls from the left to restrict social media because it can be used for events like this.
But there is nothing. Not one single post and not one single message until the event happened. Which leads many to believe this was a staged event by a left-wing group or even the FBI.

Damn... I need a new pair of khaki Dockers.
The mysterious right-wing group Patriot Front makes an appearance at the March for Life in Chicago
It was December 4 when a group of between 150 and 200 masked members of the right-wing group “Patriot Front” piled out of U-Hauls in matching khakis and blue tops and marched on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. There’s was a lot of disgust on Twitter from journalists, but none of them seemed interested in covering it and the whole thing blew over the following day. There was no follow-up on any of the networks … you’d think over a hundred white supremacists carrying makeshift shields would be of interest, seeing as they’ve been repeatedly named the number one domestic terror threat in the nation.
Brendan Gutenschwager was at the scene of the March for Life in Chicago Saturday and spotted a group of about 50 Patriot Front members appear from somewhere and join in on the march, back in their khakis and carrying those shields (and flags).
