I'll bet Trump made you a proud Trump supporter last night.

Nation’s Clowns Furious At Joe Biden For Being So Disrespectful During Debate

The Biden campaign is dealing with significant blow-back after the Democratic challenger called President Trump a clown during the first of the 2020 Presidential debates. In a match-up described universally as a ‘shit show’, many are saying Biden’s use of the term crossed a line.

“Clowns deserve better than this.”

The Biden campaign immediately went into damage limitation mode, with the candidate himself going on the record to acknowledge his mistake.

“I admit it was a low blow but I was caught up in the moment. I apologize unreservedly to clowns everywhere.”

He pledged to be more considerate when addressing President Trump going forward, taking care to use more appropriate language.

“To all pond-scum may I say I’m sorry in advance.”

No one brought up the Boogaloo Bois. Maybe they're pissed they didn't get a Presidential shoutout.

Proud Boys Rally After Trump Debate Defense: ‘Fuck Them Up’

‘STAND BACK AND STAND BY’

Given the chance to finally explicitly condemn right-wing extremism, Trump insisted, “This is a left-wing problem” and gave a shout-out to the Proud Boys.

President Donald Trump refused to condemn right-wing extremist groups when put on the spot during a segment about Black Lives Matter protests during the first presidential debate.

“I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing, not from the right wing. I’m willing to do anything, I want to see peace,” Trump said in Cleveland.

“Well, then do it sir,” Fox News moderator Chris Wallace replied, giving the president an ample opening to disavow such violent militias.

“Who would you like me to condemn? The 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 problem,” Trump said.

Democratic nominee Joe Biden then stepped in with an attempt to correct his opponent on stage. “Antifa is an idea, not an organization,” he said, before Trump cut in.

“You have to be kidding,” the president scoffed.

The former vice president was referencing comments made by FBI director Chris Wray, who said earlier this month during testimony that antifa is “not a group or an organization. It’s a movement or an ideology.” Wray also testified that white supremacist violence makes up the lion’s share of the U.S. domestic terrorism threat.

Outside of the debate, Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs saw Trump’s remarks as permission to “fuck up” the group’s foes.

“Trump basically said to go fuck them up!” Biggs wrote on Parler, an alternative social media network that courts conservatives. “This makes me so happy.”

Other Proud Boys leaders posted on Parler and Telegram, another social network popular with far-right figures banned, that they would follow Trump’s request to “stand down and stand by.”

“I will stand down sir!!!” Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio wrote on Parler. “Standing by sir. So Proud of my guys right now.”

Daryl Johnson, a former Department of Homeland Security intelligence analyst who in 2009 warned of the growing threat of far-right militias, told The Daily Beast that “within the context of Trump’s statements which insinuate future voter fraud, a rigged election, etc., [it] sounds like a subtle endorsement of future use violence by the Proud Boys. Again, another statement by the president that fans the flames of fear and seems to support violent far right groups, rather than condemn them.”

Trump also declined to pledge to accept the outcome of the election. Asked if he would instruct his followers to react calmly, he said he wanted them to go to the polls and “watch” for any fraud.

Prump to Proud Boys: "Stand back and stand by" Speaking as their leader.

@EzraNBC

Proud Boys in social media groups are going wild about the "Stand back and stand by" comment. They are basically seeing it as acknowledgment and a call to arms

The disrespect Trump just showed towards Beau, without even acknowledging his service, was hot trash. He has zero respect for our military. Zero. I’m not sure how anyone could think that’s up for debate.

@MaryLTrump

Interrupting Vice President Biden's comments about his son Beau to pivot to lies about Hunter Biden should alone totally disqualify Donald. What a disgrace. What a traitor.

Josh Jordan

Donald Trump bringing up Hunter as Joe Biden discussed Beau Biden's service to this country is about as low as it gets. #Debates2020

The surest sign Conservatives know Trump lost is that they are all attacking Chris Wallace. Winners don't attack the ref. Losers do.


Nunca Trump

Even Republicans are making it clear that tonight did not make them proud of America. And there is no universe where that helps Trump.

Trump was asked to condemn White Nationalists and instead he told them to "stand by".

A strange thing that keeps happening in this debate is that Trump keeps saying "You're not allowed to say X because you're a left-wing radical" and then Biden just says "X" and Trump doesn't have a response.

@mckaycoppins


The Gilded Turd said Biden was hard left and also said "You just lost the left." Which is it?

" Undecided voters describe Trump as a 'crackhead,' 'arrogant' in post-debate focus group"

Republican consultant and pollster Frank Luntz asked his focus group to use one word to describe the president and basically "every single word was negative," observed Politic o's Tim Alberta. One respondent from Wisconsin called Trump obnoxious and un-presidential, while a Pennsylvania voter said he behaved like a "crackhead." Others described the president as being "un-American" and "arrogant."

Rick Santorum is on CNN saying Chris Wallace put Trump in a box with the question about condemning white supremacists, saying he knows the president doesn't like to "say something bad about people who support him."
