Donald Trump has condemned white supremacists more than once. He did so after the Charlottesville riots. But that didn't stop his two debate opponents, Chris Wallace and Joe Biden, from demanding that he do it again. When he asked who in specific they wanted him to condemn, Biden picked the Proud Boys. A multiracial western-chauvinist group headed by a black Cuban named Enrique Tarrio. I wish Trump had known that so he could shove that in Biden's face.

CW: White supremacists. White supremacists and right... White supremacists and right wing militias.
JB: Proud Boys.
DT: Proud Boys? Stand back and stand by. But I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. Somebody's gotta do something about Antifa and the left, because this is not a right wing problem. This is a left wing... this is a left wing problem.
