Why Proud Boy Portland organizer Joe Biggs was so pleased with today's march:

Proud Boys #PortlandProtest organizer Joe Briggs is
asked "What's the message you got across?"

"Go look at President Trump's Twitter. He talked
about Portland, said he's watchin' antifa. That's all we
wanted." @realDonaldTrump actively supports domestic terrorists.

Hundreds of far-right protesters swarmed downtown Portland on Saturday with many of them looking as if they were ready to do battle against the anti-fascist demonstrators who’d gathered to confront them. But the “potentially dangerous and volatile” situation the city’s mayor had warned of seems to have fizzled out rather quickly after the Proud Boys and other far-right groups behind the protest reportedly asked police to help them leave the area.

Their quick exit from the long-awaited stand-off against antifascist groups came just a few hours after President Trump signaled he was watching—which was apparently all many on the far-right wanted anyway.

“Go look at President Trump’s Twitter,” Proud Boys protest organizer Joe Biggs told The Oregonian when asked what message the group wanted to convey. “He talked about Portland, said he’s watching antifa. That’s all we wanted. We wanted national attention, and we got it. Mission success.”
