Proud Boys try to "unmask" neo-Nazis as white supremacists clash at Pride [View all]
Gravel-voiced shouts to “Be gone!” mingled with homophobic slurs this weekend as local Proud Boys confronted a group of neo-Nazis trying to join their protest of an Oregon Pride event. The confrontation included Proud Boys unmasking neo-Nazis, possibly based on the belief that they were secretly FBI plants.
The two white nationalist organizations exchanged blows down the street from the first-ever Pride gathering in Oregon City, held to raise money for LGBTQ+ youth in Clackamas County.
About a half-dozen neo-Nazis had their masks ripped from their faces as the two groups tussled.
As video of the confrontation went viral, the far-right finger-pointing began, with conspiracy theorists positing the neo-Nazis were FBI plants sent to surveil and undermine the Proud Boys’ “pro-America” work, not a turf battle among otherwise natural allies.
The unmasked Nazis “panicked,” “cried,” and “trembled in fear” because they were Feds, according to one right-wing podcaster who claimed to know the true story from his perch over a keyboard.
