“Let Me Be Clear Again”: Trump Issues Explicit Condemnation Of KKK, “All White Supremacists,” And Proud Boys; Now Let's Hear From Biden on Antifa

Bishop_Malachi: "Well, if one just dared to do a little research (this includes Trump and his staff), they’d notice things like ethnic diversity in online photos."

First, I know nothing about Proud Boys, never heard the name before the debate, couldn't say anything about them one way or another.

But if you go to the debate, here at ~109 you'll see how Chris Wallace begins by demanding the President (yet again) tell "white supremacists and right wing militia groups", to "stand down", to which Trump responded (twice) "Sure," and then asked Wallace to name specifically which group he meant.
At that point Joe Biden (not Wallace) jumped in with the words, "Proud Boys", to which Trump responded, "Proud Boys? Stand back and stand by" and then pivoted to attacking left wing violent groups.

Now, are Proud Boys a "white supremacist" or "right wing militia"?
I don't know, but Democrats certainly seem to think they caught the President with his own racist slip showing, and just as important, a lot of alleged Republicans are acting the same way!

But the real story here is that it's a perfect example of how Wallace & Biden teamed up to beat up on our President.

on Proud Boys, "They're not "racist"....they're races.
(multi-racial)"

Like the President, I know almost nothing about Proud Boys, except what I've heard in the past few days.
For all I know, they are Mother Teresa's helpers (in the old days we'd say "a bunch of boy scouts", but can't use that expression any more!).
However, Democrats treat Proud Boys as if they fall into Chris Wallace's categories of "white supremacists and right wing militia groups", and when Wallace demanded Trump tell them to "stand down", Trump's response to Biden's words "Proud Boys", Trump saying "stand back and stand by" has driven Democrats nuts and exposed fair-weather Republicans for what they are.

See my post #42 above for a link to that spot in the debate.
