Tom Knighton on the weird MAGA-versus-“MAGA” confrontation:
A while back, a group calling itself Patriot Front showed up. Dressed in dark shirts and khaki pants, with ball caps and masks hiding their face, Patriot Front started engaging in some very … questionable behavior.
Almost immediately, they were labeled as feds.
Virtually no one believed they were who they claimed to be. They were openly Nazi-like, even providing the Hitler salute, all without the usual trappings of the neo-Nazis we typically see.
Well, recently, the Proud Boys clashed with Patriot Front.
The Proud Boys have been accused of being all kinds of things, too, including racists, yet it’s clear from the video shown that the Proud Boys aren’t fans of Patriot Front. Instead, you hear jeers calling them “racists” and “Nazis”.
The altercation got physical and a couple of the Patriot Front members were unmasked.
Enter former Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who offered up this hot take:
The video shown there is, in fact, the video in question, and Kinzinger’s comments have riled a lot of people up.
After all, he’s basically admitting that Patriot Front is a federal law enforcement operation.
Is it?
Probably, though I’m not sure Kinzinger would be read in on such an operation.
