Established (click here) in the midst of the 2016 presidential election by VICE Media co-founder Gavin McInnes, the Proud Boys are self-described “western chauvinists” who adamantly deny any connection to the racist “alt-right,” insisting they are simply a fraternal group spreading an “anti-political correctness” and “anti-white guilt” agenda....
...They are known for anti-Muslim and misogynistic rhetoric. Proud Boys have appeared alongside other hate groups at extremist gatherings like the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville. Indeed, former Proud Boys member Jason Kessler helped to organize the event, which brought together Klansmen, antisemites, Southern racists, and militias. Kessler was only “expelled” from the group after the violence and near-universal condemnation of the Charlottesville rally-goers....
Trump likes to think he is the inspiration for the organization of the Proud Boys. The group was organized by a media empire founder (click here), therefor Trump has an exclusive media network to carry his propaganda. To Trump, what could be better?
I might add, even though Joe Biden is determined to attend the other two debates, Speaker Nancy Pelosi made an excellent point in stating Trump would USE the debate to drive lies and propaganda.
I also believe Trump's lies and propaganda has immeasurable results in the electorate. The Trump campaign widely is about recruiting marginal voters. When Trump goes off the rails it is about entertaining those that may be recruited to vote. Trump excels in recruiting non-traditional voters. The verbal abuse leveled at the country last night was to get the attention of people, not about facts. Trump has an allegiance from the "Gossip News Rags" like the National Enquirer. Those are the people he is looking to find and entertain.
Regardless of Trump's White Supremacist/Nationalist loyalty voter, there are polls that Joe Biden is making inroads with White Men. That alone is a reason for Joe to continue to reach out to them. I think it is important the Biden voters are diverse. He promised to bring the country back together, his outreach in this manner is vital to his "healing" agenda.
