I've been waiting for ages for someone, ANYONE to do what Trump did tonight: challenge all these fucks that keep talking about these elusive "white supremacist" groups to actually fucking point to any evidence or example or name.
They always talk about this shit in the most nebulous terms, and no one ever challenges any of them to provide any evidence.
And they were totally caught off guard by it, and had to stammer to produce literally the only right-wing group of any kind that even has a name attached to it--Proud Boys.
Of course it's absolutely absurd to characterize the Proud Boys as white supremacists, and they have had very little in the way of any kind of persistent activity, nor have they done much of anything substantial. They've done a handful of relatively small demonstrations, and done some light brawling with Antifa. That's absolutely nothing compared to the large scale, wide spread riots, looting, arson, and murder than Antifa and BLM have regularly participated in for months on end.
However, I do wish Trump would have kept challenging them. They just pulled that name out of their ass. There's no way they'd be able to name any actual instance of substantial violence, let alone any evidence of "white supremacy." Joe would have been left with nothing to say, just like when Trump challenged him to name one LE organization that's endorsed him.
