A mob of pro-Trump right wing extremists appear to have beaten a small group of protesters in the streets of Manhattan on Friday night, following an appearance at the Metropolitan Republican Club by Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes.

Multiple disturbing videos taken at the scene appear to show dozens of Proud Boys swarming two people on the ground, shouting "you're dead, motherfucker" and "[anti-gay slur]" as they take turns attacking them. Three people were arrested following the event, according to police, though a public defender with the Legal Aid Society says she's confirmed that the arrests were of anti-racist protesters. An NYPD spokesperson told Gothamist that they have "no reference to Proud Boys" in any police reports.

A longer video from Proud Boys member Christopher Wright (which is excerpted in the Tweet directly above) was removed from Facebook this morning. It showed members of the group repeatedly shouting "I LIKE BEER" as they walk on after the assault. (The phrase is in reference to recently confirmed Supreme Court associate justice Brett Kavanaugh, who repeatedly declared his fondness for beer during a Senate hearing about his alleged attempt to rape Dr. Christine Blasey Ford in high school.)

Around the 4:30 mark of Wright's video, a Proud Boy could be heard shouting, "I had one of their heads and I was just smashing it into the pavement! I ripped that motherfucker's mask off and kicked him right in the head! That son of a bitch! He's a fucking foreigner!"

A high five is exchanged.

After the attack, members of the Proud Boys posed for a group photo, according to photographer Shay Horse, who was at the scene. "I havent seen a fight that violent in a long time," he tweeted. "The proud boys were totally ready and willing to be violent tonight. They didnt even wear masks."

The self-identified "Western Chauvinists" had apparently descended on the Upper East Side during an anti-McInnes protest outside the Metropolitan Club. Earlier in the day, vandals painted anarchist symbols on the doors of the clubhouse, smashed two windows, and left a note condemning the conservative group for inviting "a hipster-fascist clown to dance for them." While McInnes spoke at the event on Friday night, a crowd of at least 50 protesters gathered, chanting "Kill more Nazis."

The Proud Boysdescribed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a leading "recruiting ground for white nationalists and anti-Semites"have a history of street violence, and were involved in several fights with antifascists during a McInnes appearance at NYU last year (A member of the group attacked two reporters, including this one). Following that event, McInnes told a right-wing radio host, "I cannot recommend violence enough. It is a really effective way to solve problems."

Antifa members attack bystanders and stir up political violence too. Plenty of video evidence out there. They all belong in prison. Political violence is not okay.

Proud Boys should be condemned as a domestic terror group at the worst, and a street gang at minimum. It's in their specific "code" that they have to engage in a street fight with Antifa members before becoming an official "member". How is that any different from a gang?

They're absolutely a street gang

Maybe even a cult, with the kinda weird behaviors/traditions in the group.

But don't expect any conservatives to ever criticize them. They don't really care about it, cause these guys are on the right. The most you'll get is some weak "both sides" crap

I'm more commenting on the hypocrisy of the people who turn a blind eye when their ideological gang of choice is being violent. TC in particular has said he's okay with political violence, so he should be consistent here if he's going to support it when antifa does it.

I personally denounce this violence and say these thugs should be imprisoned.

Ehhh it's usually the right that instigates.

I don't deny that Antifa is violent, but to act as though they're equal to these nutty right wing groups that have been popping up is dishonest lol

There was one terrorist who rammed a car into a group of innocent people and there are videos of antifa thugs starting the violence. Why can't you condemn both?
