On Tuesday, September 29, 2020, during the first 2020 presidential debate, the moderator asked Donald Trump about the white supremacist group “Proud Boys”.
Shannon E Reid wrote on The Guardian, “The group (Proud Boys) sometimes paints itself as a wacky fraternal organization; in practice, it is much closer to a street gang, and McInnes has publicly described the group as a gang. Their gatherings tend to involve large amounts of drinking and violence. Members partake in unusual rituals to gain status within the group.”
aljazeera.com reports that “US President Donald Trump has condemned all white supremacist groups, including the far-right “Proud Boys,” an organisation identified as a hate group, following comments he made at the presidential debate earlier this week.
“I condemn all white supremacists, I condemn the Proud Boys. I don’t know much about the Proud Boys but I condemn that,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News.”
Green Party presidential candidate, Howie Hawkins and Green Party vice presidential candidate, Angela Walker support the legalization of Marijuana.
