Proud Boys try to "unmask" neo-Nazis as white supremacists clash at Pride

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.

Casey Knuteson, former proud boy and convicted child abuser. The Proud boys don't like the optics of having common cause with outright Nazis. Hahahaha.

And of course it wasn’t nazis cowering it was the feds. Sick, sad.
