Trump Refuses To Condemn White Supremacists & Tells Far-Right Proud Boys To ‘Stand By’
Sep 30, 2020
Donald Trump ordered a far-right, neofascist group to ‘stand back and stand by’ during the presidential debate when asked if he would be willing to condemn white supremacy.
Rather than deliver a condemnation of white supremacy at the first presidential debate , President Donald Trump instead brought up the name of a neofascist far-right group and seemingly gave his support. Moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News was discussing the protests over the summer in cities like Portland and Kenosha when he asked the president if he is “willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down and not add to violence.” Trump’s response was baffling, even for him.
“Proud Boys, stand back and stand by! But I’ll tell you what, somebody’s got to do something about antifa and the left,” the president said as a visibly shocked Joe Biden attempted to tell him that antifa isn’t actually an organization, but an ideology. Antifa, quite literally, means “anti-fascist” — the direct opposite what the group Trump name-dropped believes. The Proud Boys are a far-right hate group created in 2016 by Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes for “Western chauvinists.” The group is focused on “anti-political correctness,” and “anti-white guilt.” They believe that white men and Western culture are under siege and should be protected by violence.
