Who are the Proud Boys?
American Thinker ^ | Grant Baker

Posted on 10/02/2020 3:48:00 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

In Tuesday’s presidential debate, moderator Chris Wallace tried to corner President Trump: “Are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha and as we saw in Portland?” “Sure.” responded Trump, before noting that all the violence he saw was the fault of ANTIFA and other left-wing groups. Both Wallace and Biden then implied that white supremacists and Proud Boys were responsible for the violence in Kenosha and Portland, which Trump rebutted by referring to ANTIFA. “ANTIFA is an idea, not an organization.” Biden responded.

Wallace’s repeated references to “white supremacist violence” in Kenosha are obviously attacks on Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who was attacked in a dimly lit parking lot by a convicted pedophile under cover of a riot, and later by an ANTIFA mob incited by an illegally-armed felon who later admitted that his intent was to murder Rittenhouse.

*snip*

By associating the Proud Boys with white supremacists and blaming them for the violence committed against right wing groups, Wallace inverted moral status between victimizer and victim. Last summer, rioters received political permission slips in the form of bail funds, law enforcement stand down orders, and prosecutorial amnesty, allowing left wing mobs to run rampant in their violence and arson. The only time prosecutors took action was when someone defended themselves against the mob.

Enter the Proud Boys. This group was formed by Vice News Founder and comedian Gavin McInnes, who set it up as a joke.

Their leader is a partially black Cuban-American. Someone should have informed the President of that before he sorta “denounced” them.

Was Milton Berle head of the Nazi party? Ridiculous to call the proud boys “White supremacist”.

Violence in Portland and arson fires in Oregon are both products of Antifa/BLM.
Period.
Wallace doesn’t live in Oregon
He can STFU and hit spreading lies.

Sue Joe Biden and Chris Wallace for defamation of character.

There are millions of Americans that are sick and tired of being called “Racist” . And these American voters knows which party hates them. It’s Joe Biden’s Party.
Vote November 3

Here’s a Joe Rogan interview on the origins of the proud boys I got from TheDonald.win:

Joe Rogan & Anthony Cumia - The Bizarre and Hilarious Real Origin of The Proud Boys
https://youtu.be/TFaK6N5mz2U

A summary from there:

The tl;dw summary is the Proud Boys were a guy drinking club that Gavin McInnes started. When he started getting attacked by Leftist AntiFa pukes when giving conservative talks, the Proud Boys started showing up as his security, the AntiFa pukes didn’t like getting their asses kicked when trying their attacks, so of course they labeled the Proud Boys as Nazis. Which is bullshit. And the media bought it and amplified it, siding with AntiFa as they do.

*** ***

These guys simply are not White Supremacists and this whole thing is totally a squirrel distraction from ongoing AntiFa and #BLM violence from the Left.

The Proud Boys are more diverse than Dem leadership.

It’s unfortunate that Trump said that about the Proud Boys. If you give an inch to these scumbags,they’ll take a mile.

Wallace has been around for a long time. I’m guessing some dirt can be dug up on him. Turn the tables.

That’s the question most Americans are asking themselves after the debate, including myself.

President Trump has disavowed so-called “white supremacist” groups so many times, it has become farcical. FakeNewsMSM/Dems/Deep State know that.

Wallace/Biden merely provided another opportunity to continue the nearly five-year “Trump is racist” narrative.

Van Jones/CNN turned it into 3 charges against The President - watch opening of the video below.

unsurprisingly, taxpayer-funded ABC Australia chose Van Jones as their top guest for their flagship radio current affairs program the morning after the debate, followed by a second segment with someone from the Brookings Institution.

FakeNewsMSM/Dems/Deep State are desperate to keep the black voting bloc on board. they, therefore, have to ramp up this narrative over and over again, no matter how much it destroys their own credibility.

kudos to black Americans who have woken up, and plan to vote for their own interests.

watch just the first minute of the following.
Van’s Debate top 3: Trump refused...; The President refused...; the Commander in Chief refused....

VIDEO: 29 Sept: FB: CNN Replay: Van Jones: Trump refused to condemn white supremacy on a global stage
“The commander-in-chief refused to condemn white supremacy on the global stage,” says CNN’s Van Jones about President Trump’s debate performance. “He gave a wink and a nod to a racist, Nazi, murderous organization that is now celebrating online.”
https://www.facebook.com/CNNReplay/videos/van-jones-trump-refused-to-condemn-white-supremacy-on-a-global-stage/1485233451662527/?__so__=permalink&__rv__=related_videos

evil? criminal? or just awful.

meanwhile, try to bring up Biden’s history on race on CNN!

at 43m35s: Hogan Gidley on CNN w/ John Berman re Biden Robert Byrd/KKK etc. how many times does Berman INTERRUPT to try to drown out Gidley?

The Proud Boys are a small group, that counter protest organized leftist in Democrat run cities.

Whenever they show up in Portland, OR the Antifa subhuman lowlife show up in droves to confront them.

Antifa isn’t an idea, they’re the “heart and soul” of the Portland and Seattle voting populations.
