Donald Trump tweeted out a great big THANK YOU to his supporters who were gathered outside of Walter Reed hospital holding a vigil for him, but this only exacerbated his problems with the public. It turns out that the founder of the Proud Boys was helping to orchestrate the showing outside the hospital, and reports indicate that other members of the group that Trump failed to condemn were also present. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

With president Trump hospitalized over the weekend for treatment for his COVID-19 infection. A lot of Trump's supporters took it upon themselves to go congregate outside the hospital. Most of them not wearing masks, all of them in very close quarters to show their support for the president and for various conservative political causes. Uh, if you've seen any of the footage, any of the pictures from over the weekend, there's people out there holding their big Trump flags. There's people out there holding their blue lives matter flags, all of it again in very close quarters and all of it very heavily orchestrated Donald Trump's, uh, deputy chief of staff, white house, deputy chief of staff, Dan Scavino tweeted out photographs, videos of these Trump supporters outside of Walter Reed hospital. And then Donald Trump retweeted that on Sunday morning with a message. Thank you very much. Simple enough. People are out there supporting him, totally genuine people out there with their Trump flags, everybody again, all shouting their love and praise and admiration for Donald Trump.

Trump retweeting it saying thank you all very much. And what he inadvertently did there was retweet and thank the proud boys, the group that he got in so much trouble for refusing to actually condemn earlier in the week of the debate. He then thanked either because his deputy chief of staff Scavino didn't know who these people were or he knew, and he wanted this to happen. See, here's what's going on. Folks turns out Gavin McInnes, the founder of the proud boys who's allegedly no longer associated with them, helped orchestrate a lot of what we're seeing outside of Walter Reed. This is not just genuine people coming because they care. These were people that were recruited and according to the Hill reporter, uh, which I believe is the group put together by the, uh, [inaudible] brothers. Um, but they still do some fairly decent reporting. Uh, they were able to find out that many proud boys were in fact in the crowds.

So Donald Trump tweeting out his appreciation and his thanks to these people for showing up. He was actually thanking the proud boys. Now that's not to say that everybody out there was a proud boy, but based on what we know there, there were plenty of proud boys out there in that crowd waving their blue lives matter flags folks. There was nothing genuine about what took place outside of Walter Reed. This is what the white house was hoping. What happened. These cult-like followers of the president out there basically doing the same thing by the way that they think black lives matter, protesters should be run over for because they're standing in the middle of the road, they're walking out into the middle of a road. And if this had been in other areas of the country, you would legally have the right to run them over and you couldn't be charged with murder for that, which is a horrible thing.
