The FBI has classified the far-right group Proud Boys as an “extremist group with ties to white nationalism.” A report by Washington state law enforcement from August revealed the FBI classification and stated that the group is “actively recruiting” in the Pacific Northwest. The report also said, “Proud Boys members have contributed to the recent escalation of violence at political rallies held on college campuses, and in cities like Charlottesville, Virginia, Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington.”

Last month, NYPD charged members of the group with rioting and assault after they attacked anti-fascist protesters on the streets of New York City following a talk by leader Gavin McInnes at the Metropolitan Republican Club. Later in the broadcast, we’ll speak with investigative reporter A.C. Thompson about the rise of neo-Nazis in America.
