Proud Boys appear at Trump rally, drawing condemnation from Biden
Source: Washington Post
WILMINGTON, N.C. At least 10 men wearing the uniform of the Proud Boys, a violent extremist group, appeared outside the entrance of a rally here for presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, prompting condemnation from President Bidens campaign.
The men wearing black and yellow shirts, hats and masks identifying them as Proud Boys were seen walking along the line of vendors selling Trump apparel and souvenirs around the time that the gates opened for a planned Trump rally here. One of the men held a sign saying Free All of the J6 Prisoners, a reference to people charged in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita said, We dont comment on stupid.
A spokesman for the Biden campaign condemned Trump for emboldening violent extremists.
When Trump told his supporters to stop the steal, they attacked the Capitol, violently assaulted police officers, and tried to overturn an election, Biden spokesman Ammar Moussa said. Now theyre back, standing by once again as Trump threatens of a bloodbath if he loses in November. This is Donald Trumps America: where white nationalists and violent far-right extremists are empowered and working families are left behind.

Youll see them driving down the road, a line of pickup trucks with both Confederate and tRump flags flying from poles in the truck beds. Swap out the flags on Yall Qaidas trucks for some other group(s) and the cops would be all over them for terrorism. Seriously, not a lot of difference between our little Yeehawdists here and jihadists over there.
To borrow a bit from Jim Jones (yeah, yeah, I know), its all
hate, all the time. Teaching people to hate.
