As Trump Equivocates on White Supremacy, the FBI Warns of Right-Wing Terror

816

The word “Boogaloo” refers to a second American Civil War, which the loosely organized, fiercely anti-government group has declared its intention to bring about. Its members often wear an outfit of military fatigues and a Hawaiian shirt. While the Boogaloos clearly contain white supremacist elements—many members believe the coming civil war will be a race war—their main focus is strident opposition to government.

President Trump has always condemned violence and terrorism. But the media has always claimed otherwise because he won't stop focusing on the real source of violence and terrorism. Take, for example, the recent "debate". He condemned violence and terrorism and then challenged Chris Wallace to name an extreme Right source. The best Wallace could stammer was the "White Extremist" Proud Boys. How embarrassing for Wallace and his cohorts in the media. That's the best they can do? A multi-racial White Supremist organization that has shown up at few riots and lootings and only then to provide protection for targets of ANTIFA and BLM. And here you go again, helping push this false narrative. Hope you're "proud"

MSG Stan Hutchison - The Proud Boys are not a White Supremacist group! Like I said, Proud Boys are violent, Xenophobic, very pro western but they are not White Supremacist. How could Trump denounce the Proud Boys for something they aren’t? Now the Southern Poverty Law Center labels them a hate group. The SPLC has been found to have harassed women and been involved in racial discrimination as well as being successfully sued for falsely labeling a group as racist. https://nypost.com/2020/09/30/who-are-the-proud-boys-a-look-into-the-group-and-its-leaders/

MSG Stan Hutchison - The Proud Boys are not White Supremacist, how could Trump condemn a non white supremacist group for being white supremacists? Does this guy look like a white supremacist? https://www.westernjournal.com/proud-boys-leader-refutes-white-supremacist-claims-person-color/

MSG Stan Hutchison - This is hoot. The BLM group is a splinter group. You really think it is white supremacist? http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3889649/posts
