TRUMP-SUPPORTING 'PROUD BOYS' GROUP WILL BE INVESTIGATED BY NEW YORK HATE CRIMES UNIT AFTER VIOLENCE IN MANHATTAN
BY JASON LEMON ON 10/14/18 AT 2:46 PM

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has criticized Republicans and called for a hate crime investigation by police after members of the far-right Trump-supporting Proud Boys group were involved in violent clashes in Manhattan on Friday evening.

The Democratic governor also pointed fingers at Donald Trump on Sunday, accusing the president and his party of fanning the flames of division within the country.

“So the president is on the stump today saying ‘the Democrats are a mob, the Democrats will bring chaos, they are leftists,’ and then coincidentally, the Republican Party in the State of New York invites a group known for violence and for hate speech,” Cuomo said, WAMC Northeast Public Radio reported, suggesting that the Proud Boys were invited specifically to cause a brawl.

First of all, were the Proud Boys fighting amongst themselves?  Or, were there other groups there?

Following the incident, police detained three individuals, all who were reportedly anti-racist protesters. But local officials have raised concerns that none of the Proud Boys were arrested for their actions.

"It is revolting to see white supremacists commit a hate crime on the streets of New York City — in full view of the NYPD — and for none of them to be arrested or prosecuted," City Councilman Rory Lancman, a Democrat, told NY1.

The media transmogrified them from anti-anti-fascists into "white supremacists".

Antifa doesn't just commit hate crimes. Hate crimes are that group of terrorists' raison d'etre.

I'm sure Governor Mumbles is also looking into the hate crimes involved with that GOP headquarters getting trashed in Manhattan this week. Oh wait. Governor Mumbles is a Leftist Soros stooge just looking to manufacture outrage. Nevermind.
