President tells Proud Boys, a far-right group often associated with violent protests, to ‘stand back and stand by’
Donald Trump declined to condemn white supremacists and violent rightwing groups during a contentious first presidential debate in which the issue of anti-racism protests and civic unrest was one of the topics of discussion.
Asked repeatedly by the moderator, Chris Wallace, to condemn the actions of white supremacists and other groups, such as militias or far-right organizations, Trump ignored the question and sought to instead criticize the actions of leftwing groups and activists.
