The list of examples of Gibson working with white power militants is extensive: from Cascade Legion white nationalists being security, inviting neo-Nazi e-celeb Baked Alaska to speak at his rallies, giving props to Identity Evropa, to rolling with white power "hate preachers."pic.twitter.com/KSRsdXJanG
The reason for this "big tent" is to create a street fighting force. This is best summed up by Proud Boy Levi Romero who stated: “Nazis are my best friends, all they want is nationalism, what’s wrong with that? They want to introduce, fuckin’, good shit for America.”pic.twitter.com/DhTBug080U
The original big tent first started to come together after the April 15th clashes in 2017, where militia members, neo-Nazis, Proud Boys, and Trump supporters fought with antifascists for several hours. After the clashes, "free speech" rallies spread across the US.pic.twitter.com/jSVYKrvzvx
Several days after the 15th, the Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights (FOAK) was formed, headed by Kyle "Based Stickman" Chapman and Augustus "American fascist" Invictus, who had long been associated with white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups.pic.twitter.com/Iu2sVgRdeG
The Proud Boys had been formed a year earlier; announced in the paleoconservative magazine, Taki's, where Gavin McInnes worked. The job had been given to him by Richard Spencer. Gavin would also go on to be published in the white nationalist journal, American Renaissance.pic.twitter.com/41dATjIEsY
By the summer of 2017, despite McInnes telling the #ProudBoys that neo-Nazis were not welcome, the new group found itself on the streets and at rallies alongside the Alt-Right, as Proud Boys were featured speakers at Alt-Right rallies, and neo-Nazis cuddled up to PB leaders.pic.twitter.com/MWZffxzxRv
With hype around Cville buildling, McInness on June 21st stated "I’m just not coming to your rally, no offense," however as the date got closer, Proud Boys Mag released a new statement saying each chapter + member could decide if they would attend. FOAK just said they were going.pic.twitter.com/BUvdcQQIh0
Keep in mind that Jason Kessler, a white nationalist and a Proud Boy was also the key organizer for Unite the Right. At the time, he had some connections to local Republicans and also was a writter for Tucker Carlson's 'The Daily Caller,' and appeared on Gavin's TV show.pic.twitter.com/6Ibv3ssbvz
On the physical day of Unite the Right, there were numerous photos of Proud Boys and FOAK members taken. Kyle "Based Stickman" Chapman even promoted a livestream from "UTR" through his Facebook page.pic.twitter.com/U9aDVJViyF
New York Proud Boy leader, and friends with Mike Peinovich even was lucky enough to have his photo taken with KKK leader David Duke (on the left).pic.twitter.com/ImwQ812thI
Another Proud Boy, Michael A Ramos, also was one of the few people arrested that day, after he took park in the savage beating of DeAndre Harrispic.twitter.com/gvGxohVBIE
The claim that the Proud Boys had no involvement in Unite the Right is false, as members were involved in the event from the planning (Jason Kessler), to the speaking, (Augustus Invictus). Also, clearly both members of the Proud Boys and FOAK were there on the ground.pic.twitter.com/xiC9Jxz6gu
Despite this reality, the Proud Boys have become the key fighting force at Joey Gibson side, and have only aided in the growing calls for violence and attacks against everyday people in Portland, Berkeley and beyond.pic.twitter.com/cQQCOLCGpL
In the thousands, people in #Portland need to hit the streets against these bullies. Gibson doesn't care about freedom or free speech. He cares about building a far-Right coalition that includes open neo-Nazis, to further Trump's agenda at the expense of the rest of us.pic.twitter.com/q6Ait9TQDK
