Most Americans have heard of Black Lives Matter and antifa. But most Americans have not heard about a small group begun in Portland, Oregon, called the Proud Boys. So, naturally, debate moderator Chris Wallace teamed up with Joe Biden on Tuesday night to demand that President Donald Trump specifically denounce the Proud Boys and white supremacists generally. The Leftmedia heard the dog whistle and saturated the proverbial airwaves with coverage of this obscure group, elevating it solely to attack Trump as a “racist.”
And it’s fake news.
“You have repeatedly criticized the vice president for not specifically calling out antifa and other left-wing extremist groups,” Wallace asserted to set up his gotcha question. “But are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups, 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?”
BJ's Fact Check
First of all, a fact-check: White supremacists of any sort did not cause violence in Kenosha. And any violence in Portland or elsewhere that involved the Proud Boys was because they showed up to oppose the radical leftists running roughshod. Heck, the Proud Boys even sought a permit to demonstrate in Portland. Can BLM or antifa say the same?

The Proud Boys Flap Is Fake News
The media want to hang them around President Trump's "racist" neck.
