Biden Sends Message To Proud Boys: ‘Cease-And-Desist’ | MSNBC
A note for my right-leaning family and friends from my left-leaning self as we all head down the road to the election:
They say we want to disband police departments (and that we hate the police): we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to weed out racism and unnecessary police brutality and for those who abuse their power to be held accountable.
They say we want to release all prisoners: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to weed out racism and ensure the punishments match the crimes and to deprivatize prisons.
They say we want open borders: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want asylum seekers to be given their chance to seek asylum. We want to help people who are coming from unimaginable terror and poverty, to help to give them the chance we have. We want to ensure children aren’t separated from their parents and that nobody is kept in cages. But we do want proper vetting.
They say we want to take away your guns: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want logical gun control to help prevent mass shootings.
They say we want to wage a war on Christianity and Christian values: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want people of all religions to be able to practice and worship freely. Some of us love Jesus too.
They say we want to get everything for free, or that we think handouts are okay: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to work hard and make sure that healthcare and education are affordable for ALL.
They say we want a war against traditional marriage: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want all people to be able to love freely, no matter who you love.
They say we want to destroy or rewrite history: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to recognize the ugly parts of our past and do everything we can to say “that’s not okay, let’s not honor those aggressors, let’s not let those things happen again.”
They say we want to take away your constitutional rights: we don’t, that’s a lie. We choose to believe science and wear masks and try to prevent the spread of this disease.
They say we hate America: we don’t, that’s a lie. We just recognize our faults and want us to do better, be better.
Stop with the us vs. them. Our position is one of empathy, compassion, and logic. Please stop believing the hype. Stop with the division. Stop with the generalizations.
Just because we want equality for all doesn’t mean we want to take anything away from you.
Copied/pasted from a friend because it’s true.
@_timtuttle
@ishtarian @_timtuttle thank you friend! I’m not the author, I’m a copy paster
@chris f I do live in California friend, born and raised… Changing Hearts and Minds takes all of us. Not Voting for the Lyingest LYING LIAR of all LYING LIARS for some of us…
No one here drinks Orange Coolaide, that flavor went bad a long time ago. You’ll be able to take a new flavor soon it’s called BLUE TSUNAMI
If Biden can not stand up to Antifa and/or B.L.M. Violence how can he stand up for America?
@dave matthews you are not the one who says what “the real world” is or is not, and your assertion that the world MUST be the way YOU see it is truly infantile.
@dave matthews you are not the one who says what “the real world” is, and your assertion that you are, is truly infantile. if you have the expertise to describe the complex nature of human interaction, singly or in groups, organizations, regions, or the observed behavioral regularities of social hierarchies- then state your qualifications- your “feeling” that you understand things is just the Dunning-Kroger effect, writ large.
This is not the president with 40 million people out of work, 200,000 deaths,
covid-19 and poverty is higher than ever.
Me, myself and I, Donald Trump 👎
@Me you That’s not near enough or soon enough.He said himself he denied the virus to help his career.His own mouth,his own words!!!!
@Tbone you mean when Biden called him racist for closing down travel out of china?
@Tbone what? Just look at the timeline, he shut down travel to China ASAP you think Joe who is in bed with China would have done that? Your crazy
Not splitting hairs but I think the numbers of unemployed are down and covid is up to 207K dead, may want to update your numbers
Trump Tells Proud Boys STAND DOWN In New Statement As Media Goes Nuts Smearing Them

This debate showed Biden should not waste any more time trying to appeal to the better nature of Trump. He doesn’t have one. Appeal to the better nature of Americans. Biden, if you’re sincere about fighting for the soul of the nation, we’ll show you we got your back.
toddburress68 who makes all there products in China then sells it to morons like you?
Biden was pretty clear
If you support Trump you support racism and white supremacy.
@Jimmy Gallagher no I’m just an American tired of people having excuses for everyone
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕
You are the reason we are voting Trump
God help the US if Trump gets back in!!
If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black.- joe biden
VOTE HIM OUT. LETS MAKE IT A BLUE LANDSLIDE! If you can vote in person. Stay safe and stay well.
@Anne Bergeron Trump will be re-elected… Democrats support BLM LGBTQ and defunding the police.
tinyurl.com/yxbjr933 😳
RIGHT ON Cort RIGHT ON
BIDEN-HARRIS 2020!
and grab your guns… for this civil war is about to get hotter. let the world see how brave you really are 😉
@Anne Bergeron I love the lefts famous claims..On everything about President Trump but yet they ben all debunked every time..lol
WTF ? Stay safe and well?! Antifa B.LM. Biden / Haris brown shirts will run your streets!
The proud boys, sounds like a 60 s pop group, who never had a hit
@Alan Peters Well i don,t want cultural marxism either Alan both are nauseating and niether will i accept the blame for my ancestors,I have done no wrong to any human on this earth so i won,t accept wrong being done to me.
@Andrew Chambers I agree, I served this country I’m a desert storm vet an I didn’t put my life in the line for a country that’s at this point promoting the very thing that I fought against, I just pray that people wake up and that whoever leads this country next will turn things around.
nice dunk!
🤘
@john hoyt He spearheaded the clean up of the economic mess George Bush left in 2008……. Or were you having your Rip Van Winkle moment !?
Yaady Thommo Is that the best reply that you can come up with? Well the housing market is at a record high. Trump! Only thing that’ll be at an all time high under Biden would be batteries and tree hugging! Come on Mr. Rodgers, you can do better!
They are Proud boys, they will never be men and neither will their cowardly President.
Julie Salzer No. any form of extremism is unacceptable
@9TheMajor So why biden will not stand up to antifa or blm?
Julie Salzer if he gets asked directly and specifically my guess is that he would
@9TheMajor Your ”GUESS”.
Trump Tells Proud Boys STAND DOWN In New Statement As Media Goes Nuts Smearing Them
https://youtu.be/tuTNxsOKgXk
“No agency would stand for that happening….” Translation: The regular army will remove him if he tries it.
the regular army loves trum evidenced by crickets coming from the pentagon after trump called their fellow soldiers losers and suckers that is our proud army
@Angel Fish I’m pretty sure that they were taking notes. They know the terrain. They don’t fight word wars.
Let’s pray
The majority of the military are tRumpanzees, same with the police across the country, who have their own right wing gangs such as the Executioners, the Banditos and the Salty Dawgs etc, who identify with the likes of the proud boys and the boogaloo boys, the war hawks at the Pentagon love tRump because he’s quietly increased the bombing of foreign countries resulting in larger profit margins for the American military industrial complex.
I don’t have much faith in the military, they’ve already helped the police in putting down peaceful protests by the people they’re supposed to protect, the old go to line of “I was just following orders” will be used a lot in the future by cops and military personnel having to answer to the public for their actions.
The armed forces don’t get involved in politics. The armed forces pledge allegiance to the constitution not the president. And certainly not to a disrespectful draft dodging Putin loving creep.
You tellem mr vice President biden. VOTE VOTE VOTE EVERYBODY VOTE TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE!!
You noticed Biden say anything about BLM and their members carrying guns intimidating white people
No one listens to Basement Biden
ROADmaster Masterjmpg I voted for him here in Minnesota last week and tonight Trump has a rally in Minnesota with 35,000 people. Biden is on a train with 2 people… he might as well be on the stagecoach!!!! Lol!!!!!
Bridget Engle Basement Biden is a joke.
M.A.D.A Biden 2020
Make America Dumb Again
Who said Biden had dementia and couldn’t handle Trump !
Could CNN and MSNBC be more obvious about who they want to win this election?? They are the very DEFINITION of ELECTION RIGGING and ELECTION FRAUD! But here is a FAIR and HONEST review of the BIDEN DEATDOWN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt3wVrOaM1k
Trump Tells Proud Boys STAND DOWN In New Statement As Media Goes Nuts Smearing Them
https://youtu.be/tuTNxsOKgXk
Love when joe called Trump a Clown 🤡 I have been calling him that for 50 years , yes from the time he was 25 years old.
Russia propaganda spouting lies about dementia and oir traitor in chief along with Republicans accomplice are helping. Him , TRUMP IS here to make RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN. NOT AMERICA.,HES HAS MADE US SO WEAK AND SICKER , AND A LAUGHING STOCK ON THE WORLD STAGE.
Stupid Trump that’s who
Let us get up and VOTE in GREAT NUMBERS for BIDEN/HARRIS so there will be NO QUESTION as to who will be the clear winner! Let us save our DEMOCRACY!
Do you really think there is ”DEMOCRACY” in Marxism ? Do you even know what the Democrat platform is?
@Julie Salzer ,
Besides raping women, pillaging the US Treasury, inciting violence, hatred & racism, what has your painted moron put forward?
Another Tax break for the rich, that your grandchildren will become slaves, to pay off?
Lies about dropping Pharmaceutical drug prices, “..by 80 to 90%,” according to your sick, orange pig, in last night’s debate?
I will answer for you; absolutely nothing, but lies.
Stay safe & well, in spite of your ignorance.
@Julie Salzer Has no idea. So many people are so completely blind to what the left is slowly pushing this country towards.
“Save our democracy” by voting in Socialists that have a main goal of tearing it apart. You’re hilarious.
They’re not Proud Boys they’re Trump’s puppets!
Useful idiots.
Biden is actually in pictures with KKK members…. no problem for you?
They are all Putin’s puppets.
It’s really rather sad. We have seen so often how brainless thugs with racist agendas are used in the first phase of a dictator’s rise to power, but once democracy is destroyed, they become a threat to the dictator’s continuing power and .. over and over again we’ve seen it… they’re annihilated in the second phase of the dictator’s rule by the very person for whom they’d sold their country and its people’s freedom. Americans of the WWII generation were the power driving creation of war-crime trials, and an American president inspired the creation of one of the finest documents of that time, ‘The Universal Declaration of Human Rights’. You should read it. It’s not perfect, but it’s stood the test of time pretty well. If you really want to understand the principles of America’s Democratic thinkers, it’s a good place to start.
Watching Hussein Obama massage Medved’s thigh and saying “tell Vladimir I will have more flexibility after my election” made me vomit!!!!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Crikey, soon-to-be-President Joe Biden has got some balls on him.
Let’s make it happen, and no excuses for not voting this time around.
🌊🌊🌊 if we vote … so vote!
This is how a President *SHOULD* speak when it comes to racism!
@It Was A Good Idea At The Time yep!! Be bout it bout it & say it to that persons FACE!! ONLY LOSERS FIGHT ON TWITTER, SOCIAL MEDIA, LIE, & SNEAK BEHIND OTHERS BACKS IN LIEU OF FACE TO FACE😉👊female USAF
Joe Deez Nutz Biden 2020🇺🇸
We won’t be intimidated, we will be at the polls watching those Confederate “poll watchers”. They’re not the only ones ready for a fight.
Any traitors and wannabe intimidators that get too close to polling places will be prosecuted. Have fun bois!
Do not fight. The police are the ONLY people empowered to enforce the law. Nobody else is. Report harassers, disrupters and intimidators to the police, who will be at the ready on polling day.
Do they call themselves “Boys” because they have brains of children?
No balls
They are stuck in the past playing as children with toys, but now dangerous toys.
show up when they are countering antifa or blm and preventing them from rioting, looting and setting properties on fire, and then ask them.
More like “The Pride Boys”. “Stand back and stand _behind_ ” 😜
Now THIS is how you denounce White Supremacy. Nice work Joe Biden. 🙂
Donald trump “i’m a LAW and ORDER president”
Breaks the LAW
ORDERS terrorists to stand down and standby.
UM Chris have not seen proud boys assault police ,elderly people eating dinner or burning down buildings? Sounds like you are talking about antifa or b.l.m.?
@Julie Salzer Well….. You need to go reference the Justice Department website …… There you will get the proper education you so crave !!!!!!
@Yaady Thommo Are you serious you have to go to the Justice Department figure this out? LOL!!!
Your species wants to know if Aliens exist and it hasn’t even gotten past the foolishness of racism. Vote for Truth and perhaps you’ll see the truth.
Biden’s HAT is more presidential than TRUMP will ever be.
TRUMP2020 AND YOU KNOW IT!!
