Arrest follows president’s controversial comments at debate: 'Proud Boys – stand back and stand by’?

A member of the right-wing hate group Proud Boys was arrested in Oregon the morning after the first presidential debate, in which Donald Trump declined to disavow white supremacy, for assault and weapons charges resulting from a confrontation he had with protestors in August.

Though he initially claimed he was cleared by officials of any wrongdoing during the violent clash, Swinney was reportedly arrested just hours after the president delivered a startling message to the hate group at Tuesday night’s debate in Ohio: “Proud Boys – stand back and stand by.”.

Mr Trump was asked to disavow white supremacy and white nationalist, extremist and other right-wing groups responsible for violence and violent clashes at nationwide protests with increasing frequency in recent months.

The president’s close advisers have defended his debate performance, noting how he said “sure” when he was initially asked to disavow white supremacy.

“My message to the Proud Boys and every other white supremacist group is cease and desist.”.
