Joe Biggs, a prominent Proud Boy in Portland, subsequently wrote, “Trump basically said to go fuck them up! this makes me so happy.”

I think the second biggest part of this is Trump, seeing Joes trap, jumped right into it. That’s why you saw the full majesty of the Biden smile, like a mountain man who just got his elk for the season.
