The chaotic first presidential debate between Democratic candidate Joe Biden and President Donald Trump was filled with memorable—if cringeworthy—moments.

But people were alarmed when Trump wouldn't outrightly condemn white supremacy, even when specifically asked by moderator Chris Wallace.

Biden urged Trump to condemn the Proud Boys—a self-described "Western chauvinist" militia known for crashing social justice protests with the intent of inciting violence.

Trump urged the Proud Boys to "Stand back and stand by."

Watch below.

Given the Proud Boys' propensity toward violence against protesters, Americans across the country saw Trump instructing them to "stand by" for action against protesters and dissenters. Multiple members of the Proud Boys got this same message.

In case anyone wasn't clear on what Trump appeared to be instructing, the Merriam-Webster dictionary defined the terms in a tacit rebuke of Trump's assertion.

People highlighted the dictionary's definitions.






They were quick to troll Trump as well.



Trump has since claimed he didn't know who the Proud Boys were, despite appearing to during the debate. He claims that his calls to "stand by" were intended to mean "stand by the wayside" for law enforcement to do its job.

The next debate is scheduled for October 15.

Trump's AG Sets Off A Firestorm With Claim That Americans 'Want Their Tax Dollars Spent On' Trump's $1.8 Billion Slush Fund

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is facing heavy criticism after claiming that Americans "want their tax dollars spent on things like" President Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund that may go to his allies and those who participated in the January 6 insurrection.

The Justice Department said last week it was creating the fund as part of a deal in which Trump agreed to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. But despite a press release, memo, and a newly-released settlement agreement, many details about the program remain unclear.

Getting a new pet is a big commitment, and when you decide to take the plunge, you should commit to keeping them for their full lifetime.

But if you're going to get an animal that you have no prior experience with, you also have to commit to doing your research so you can care for them properly. While getting advice from a fellow pet owner is helpful, it's always good to double-check their facts.

President Donald Trump had a hilariously brutal response after a reporter asked him if he planned to attend the wedding of his son Donald Trump Jr. in the Bahamas this weekend, saying the event is "not good timing for me."

Trump Jr.—who was previously engaged to current U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle—will marry Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson this weekend, but Trump made it pretty clear the event isn't exactly at the top of his list of priorities, pointing to the war in Iran and "other things" that are keeping him busy.
