Trump tries to walk back the "Stand Back and Stand Down" remarks. |
HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!
When Chris Wallace asked Donald J. Trump to denounce white supremacists, he waffled.
He blatantly refused to condemn the white supremacists.
It was the "great awakening" for the white extremists. The refusal to unequivocally denounce these far-right terrorists only ensures that if he wins, they'll have an opportunity to recruit more to their movement.
He actually placed the blame of extremism on Antifa, a movement to denounce fascism.
He said that the violence in the United States lies on the feet of the left and Joe Biden.
Trump was given an example of white extremists. Wallace mentions the Proud Boys, a white chauvinist group of men who believe their race and Western Culture is under attack and their mission is to defend it and those who undermine their cause.
They have been active. They along with the QAnon, Boogaloo Bois and Three Percenters have clear and present danger in the country.
Gavin McInnes is a bullshit artist and agent provocateur. |
Shortly after, one of the Proud Boys organizers, Joe Biggs, shared through his Parler social media account a logo with the president's words "Stand back" and "Stand by".
The Proud Boys Telegram channel said that they will use the comments as a motto and they captioned "God. Family. Brotherhood."
Proud Boys was founded by Gavin McInnes, a British-born Canadian/American far-right extremist who once was a progressive comedian. McInnes is best known for motivating the Proud Boys and inspiring them for violent confrontations with progressive groups.
The Proud Boys is a far-right neo-fascist male-only organization that promotes and engages in political violence.
It is based in the United States and has a presence in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.
The group was started as a joke by McInnes, taking its name from the song "Proud of Your Boy" from the Disney musical Aladdin.
The Proud Boys emerged as part of the alt-right, but McInnes began distancing himself from the alt-right in early 2017, saying the alt-right's focus is race while his focus is what he defines as "Western values." This re-branding effort intensified after the Unite the Right rally.
Trump is calling for violence if he does lose the U.S. presidential election. |
The organization glorifies violence and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has called it an "alt-right fight club."
In late November 2018, it was reported the FBI had classified the Proud Boys as an extremist group with ties to white nationalism. Two weeks later, an FBI official briefing Clark County, Washington law enforcement officials on the group, denied that it was their intent to classify the entire group in this manner and ascribed the mistake to a misunderstanding. During the briefing, FBI agents suggested using websites for more information, including the SPLC resource.
The official said that their intent was to characterize the possible threat from certain members of the group.
The organization has been described as a hate group by NPR's The Takeaway and the SPLC.
In February 2019, despite having said that he broke his ties with the group in November 2018, McInnes filed a federal defamation suit against the SPLC over their "hate group" designation, saying that it was untrue and had damaged his career.
McInnes "winked-and-nodded." He claimed he quit The Proud Boys, although he still has ties to it.
McInnes doesn't condemn the actions of Trump found the remarks a "truth."
