Proud Boy Repeatedly Flashes White Supremacist Symbol at Trump Rally
Here's a man in a Proud Boys hat at Trump's recent rally in Florida repeatedly flashing the white supremacist "OK" hand sign. He's wearing a white shirt/sunglasses/black hat with a yellow logo, just to the right of Trump from our point of view:

1. Why do you let hite supremacits hijack a well known symbol?
ReplyDelete2. Who cares if there is an anonymous supporter behind Trump who is making a gesture? When Trump use his dogwhistles it's news, not something like this.

#1 You recently posted a brilliant response to the #proudboys tag. If some group tries to steal a symbol, you take it back. It only works if everyone else is so scared to use the symbol that the new meaning becomes dominant.
