condemn the Proud Boys

A Michigan woman asked a city official to condemn the Proud Boys during a live stream meeting. Instead, he flashed his rifle.

Keli MacIntosh asked officials from the Michigan Grand Traverse County Board of Commissioners if they would denounce the Proud Boys during Wednesday's live-streamed public meeting.

-snip-

Will you please make some sort of public statement for the community that you do not accept the behaviors?" MacIntosh asked.

As MacIntosh poses her question to the board, Ron Clous, the commission's vice-chair, can be seen rising from his seat, stepping out of the frame, and returning with a semiautomatic rifle in his hands, the video shows.

"The only thing I know about them (Proud Boys) is when they came and spoke to us," Clous said. "They were probably the most respected folks that got up and talked. They were decent guys and they treated us with respect."

By his own words it sounds like Clous will support any groups that want to take down the government as long as he's treated with respect.

The Southern Poverty Law Center considered the Proud Boys as a hate group.
