In an interview with the Univisión network, the leader of the Proud Boys group, Enrique Tarrio, said that they were happy because his name appeared in the US presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. Members of the far-right group Proud Boys celebrate President Donald Trump's comments during Tuesday's presidential debate. After he was asked to condemn white supremacists and refused to do so. Instead, the president used his allotted time to blame what he called "antifa and the left" for the violence. And to tell the Proud Boys to "back off and wait." In statements online, Proud Boys have claimed that they have only used violence in self-defense. But members are often seen carrying firearms, bats, and wearing protective gear. Some have been convicted of crimes against anti-fascist protesters.
