"Experts in extremism agreed that Trump’s comments amounted to an unprecedented shout-out to a group that, while small, has a demonstrated history of fomenting violence in America.

“You’re essentially telling a paramilitary force to ‘stand by,’ ” said Heidi Beirich, an expert on far-right politics who co-founded the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism. “I think at this point, the biggest thing to worry about is Election Day. . . . It’d be pretty scary to try and go vote and have hundreds of people screaming at you about these ideas.”

But no concern apparantly over Joe Biden's remarks when he not only refused to condemn the actions of Antifa over the past 4 months (the rioting, arson, the 2 billion dollars in property damage and the deaths of over 30 people they helped bring about) , he went as far as to dismiss everything they did and the threat they continue to pose as an "idea". Have the Proud boys caused anywhere near the level of carnage that both Antifa and Black Lives Matter have caused so far?

And I heard the same Rubbish from someone by the name of Rita Katz who is executive director of the SITE Intelligence group which tracks far-right groups, saying that Trump's remarks " legitimized them in a way no-body in the community expected"..."Its unbelievable. The celebration is incredible. In my 20 years of tracking extremism, I never thought I'd see anything like this from a US president."

Funny thing is, Chris Wallace used the phrase “stand by” when he asked the question. Trump was echoing HIS words.

I've seen it...
"They’re going to try to scare people. They’re going to try to say that ‘that Obama is a scary guy.’ If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans." - Barry

Is their violent reputation based on fact or bestowed solely by the media?

When Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio woke up Wednesday,

Wait a second! The head of the Proud Boys is a Latino? Talk about flunking White Supremacy 101.

Proud Boys use satire to mock the far left Nazis at Antifa. The 50 IQ apes at the WP are too dense to see it.

The Proud Boys are not racist, and they only show up to curb the violence of ANTIFA freaks.

“...legitimized them in a way no-body in the community expected...”

It is Biden who placed the name, “Proud Boys,” into the debate - not Trump.

Press still trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Not a word about Antifa or BLM violence.

Has the Left-Wing media Post ever reported on who the Proud Boys are?
