Proud Boys describe themselves as a group who refuses to apologise for creating the modern world. FMTNews Trump

A protester carries a Proud Boys banner in front of the Oregon State Capitol in Salem, Oregon on Sept 7.

They drew media attention in late 2018 after a violent confrontation with left-wing protesters in New York City, and returned to the spotlight during protests in recent months. Group members tend to adhere to an ideology that rejects overt white supremacy but embraces chauvinism, according to the ADL.

Trump then urged the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by,” but quickly turned the conversation to antifa, a left-wing anti-fascist ideology, whose adherents he has blamed for violence at protests in recent months. On Wednesday, Trump walked back his remarks at the White House, telling reporters he was not familiar with the Proud Boys, but that the group should let law enforcement do its work.The group has clashed violently with Black Lives Matter and antifa demonstrators in Portland and other cities in recent months.

The rally, which attracted hundreds of Proud Boys supporters, was largely peaceful, but police and left-wing protesters later clashed in downtown Portland.The Southern Poverty Law Center , another anti-hate advocacy organisation, labelled the Proud Boys a hate group in 2018.
