Trump says he doesn't know who Proud Boys are after telling them to "stand by"
President Trump told reporters on Wednesday that he doesn't know who the "Proud Boys" are, after saying at the presidential debate last night that the far-right group should "stand back and stand by" in response to a question asking him to condemn white supremacists.
TRUMP: "I don't know who the Proud Boys are, I mean you'll have to give me a definition, because I don't really know who they are"
___________
Trump of course was told exactly who they were just last night:
Chris Wallace:
You have repeatedly criticized the vice president for not specifically calling out Antifa and other left wing extremist groups. But are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia group and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha and as we’ve seen in Portland.
President Donald J. Trump:
Sure, I’m will to do that.
Chris Wallace:
Are you prepared specifically to do it.
President Donald J. Trump:
I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing not from the right wing.
Chris Wallace:
But what are you saying?
President Donald J. Trump:
I’m willing to do anything. I want to see peace.
Chris Wallace:
Well, do it, sir.
Vice President Joe Biden:
Say it, do it say it.
President Donald J. Trump:
What do you want to call them? Give me a name, give me a name, go ahead who do you want me to condemn.
Chris Wallace:
White supremacist and right-wing militia.
Vice President Joe Biden:
Proud Boys...Proud Boys
President Donald J. Trump:
Proud Boys, stand back and stand by. But I’ll tell you what somebody’s got to do something about Antifa and the left because this is not a right wing problem this is a left wing.
So, Trump is either senile old fool that can't remember jack shit. Or he's racist liar.
Or how about both!
