For months now, the liberal media has been ignoring violent leftists terrorizing our communities, while attempting to paint groups like The Proud Boys as the real threat. Instead of focusing on ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter violence, which is widespread and well-documented, they have found a new ‘right-wing boogeyman’ to focus their attention on.
The left has attacked this group for a long time, calling them racist, sexist, and homophobic. This is far from the truth. But now, the left has decided to go in full attack mode.
At the first presidential debate on Tuesday, journalist and Democrat hack Chris Wallace demanded that President Trump denounce ‘white supremacist’ violence in our streets, along with right-wing militias. Joe Biden interjected and directly called for the president to call out the ‘white supremacist’ Proud Boys.
On Wednesday, the International Chairman of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, an African-Hispanic American, spoke out against the media and the left smearing the organization as a white supremacist group:
The head of the controversial Proud Boys told Sky News he did not see President Trump's words during the presidential debate as an endorsement of his group, and that Joe Biden had made a "crucial mistake" in naming them as racists.

The Chief of the Proud Boys Salt Lake Utah Chapter also spoke out, saying: “The Proud Boys as a hole, I will say this on behalf of the entire national organization, denounce white supremacy”.

Other Proud Boys have also spoken about the diversity of their group, including in a video posted to Twitter.
In the video, Edwin Arthur a black member of the group, stated: “There’s not one racist redneck Nazi” in the group.
A white member of the group interjected, saying “Find him, and we’ll kick him out.”

The group describes themselves as “Western Chauvinists”, and their website states: “If you are a man and you know that the west is the best, then you can join The Proud Boys. Some chapters have minimum age requirements and some vetting youβll have to go through but if youβre a western chauvinist, weβll get you in.”
Chauvinists typically support a form of strong patriotism and nationalism, believing in the superiority of their nation. That lines up well with the beliefs of the Proud Boys.
According to their website, the “core tenets” of the group are:
- Minimal Government
- Maximum Freedom
- Anti-Political Correctness
- Anti-Drug War
- Closed Borders
- Anti-Racial Guilt
- Anti-Racism
- Pro-Free Speech (1st Amendment)
- Pro-Gun Rights (2nd Amendment)
- Glorifying the Entrepreneur
- Venerating the Housewife
- Reinstating a Spirit of Western Chauvinism
