Biden: Proud Boys one of the greatest threats to America
WISN ^ | Feb 17, 2021 | Terry Sater

Posted on 02/17/2021 4:52:33 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

President Joe Biden called out the Proud Boys as one of the greatest threats to America during his town hall in Milwaukee.

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee professor Joel Berkowitz got to ask Biden about white supremacists and other hate groups during that town hall Tuesday night.

"While I appreciate efforts being made to bring them to justice, I worry about ongoing threats to our country from Americans who embrace white supremacy and conspiracies that align with it. What can your administration do to address this complex and wide-ranging problem?" Berkowitz asked the president.

"I got involved in politics to begin with because of civil rights and opposition to white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, and the most dangerous people in America continue to exist. That is the greatest threat to terror in America, domestic terror," Biden said.

"Are you concerned about white supremacists in Wisconsin?" Terry Sater asked Berkowitz.

"Sure. We've seen them kill people. We've had things happen in our own backyard," Berkowitz said.

Kyle Rittenhouse, charged with killing two people during police brutality protests in Kenosha, could be seen in a Mount Pleasant bar, prosecutors said, flashing "white power" signs while posing for photos and serenaded with the Proud Boys anthem.

The same group the president brought up at the town hall.

"You may remember, in one of my debates with the former president, I asked him to condemn the Proud Boys and he wouldn't do it," Biden said.

Berkowitz said he wished the president would have talked more at the Pabst Theater about the underlying causes of hate groups, but he's glad Biden has changed the tone of the conversation from the White House.

"They are dangerous people," Biden said.

The president said he'd like the Justice Department and the civil rights division to focus on hate groups.

Of course they are a threat. They won’t be voting for Joseph Biden.

Waiting for Biden to pull out the notes from the baby-killing FBI and declare veterans a terrorist group.

Get back to me when proud boys are starting riots, spreading pandemics, spouting false science nonsense, and destroying the economy.

Waving a flag and stating they don’t feel inferior to other races? Not really shaking me to my core, sorry I didn’t bark for the dog whistle.

No, Joe. It’s the illegal criminals you’re letting into the country.

I agree. The proud boys are a fake group ran by the feds. They are dangerous since the feds want to use them to start stuff.

Yes, Xao Bai-Din is correct that the Proud Boys are one of the greatest threat to America.

Since one of their founders has been working for the FBI for decades, and the FBI colluded on fraudulent dossiers, spying on Presidential candidate Trump, failed to turn over evidence in multiple cases, including Hillary Clinton's illegal email server, the Proud Boys, as an extension of the FBI, are one of the greatest threats to America.

Biden: proud boys one of the greatest threats to America.

Really joe?

And this springs from the momentum gained after stealing an election. Followed by the false premise that Donald Trump incited a riot at the Capital.

Join me joe, as I walk back through memory lane.

Excerpt~

Ayers, who co-founded the Weather Underground in 1969, took part in the bombings of the New York City Police Department headquarters in 1970, the U.S. Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972. Since the FBI used illegal tactics against the Weather Underground and the New Left, the government dropped key charges against the Weather Underground and Bill Ayers.

If memory serves me correctly joe, bill ayers launched your former bosses political career.

Care to rethink your assesment towards the proud boys joe?

The head of the Proud Boys is a Cuban-American who just happens to be black.

Half the members of the Los Angeles Chapter are Mexican-American.

Biden, as usual, is full of sh—!

Hop Sing Xiden and his two “Karens”, Harris and “Doctor” are the greatest threats to America.

Based on what I read earlier it sounds like ABC Australia paid the right fee. CNN and NBC were making a direct payoff to Sullivan. Funny how they both paid the exact same amount! What a coincidence.

King George XLVI is bent on punishing the colonies...er, Conservatives.

His Lobster Backs...er, Democrat street muscle like BLM and Antifa are the real threat.

It was founded by Gavin McInnis, who is White.
Enrique Tarrio, who currently heads it, is Black.

Biden needs to keep his eyes on the Rotarians and the Elks Clubs. Those guys are the real threats.
