They\u2019re not the ones rioting in the streets attacking the police and other people, that\u2019s BLM\/Antifa who have been the leftists\u2019 shock troops to push radical reform. The only group that seems to be connected to a political party and political agenda is BLM\/Antifa. The Biden campaign specifically endorsed the BLM during their convention and has yet to denounce BLM\/Antifa violence by name. Joe Biden even denied the existence of Antifa, completely ignoring their involvement in hundreds of BLM connected riots in the last few months.<\/p><p>Second, there\u2019s another problem with the accusation. Proud Boys have members of all races and have black, Hispanic and Asian leaders. They may be many things but white supremacists they aren\u2019t, they\u2019re multi-racial.<\/p><p>They didn\u2019t like Joe Biden calling them white supremacists and following that came out in Salt Lake City, Utah to publicly say they were not in any way white supremacists.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t speak for the &#8220;Proud Boys&#8221; &#8211; of whom I&#8217;ve heard very little, notwithstanding the fact that I&#8217;m, well, not tuned <em>out<\/em> of that scene.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I do recall the local media and DFL (ptr) riffing on the &#8220;Boogaloo Boys&#8221; during the &#8220;Anti&#8221;-fa tantrum last May, as if they were a &#8220;white supremacist&#8221; group&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;when, in fact, they tend to be radical libertarians.
