During Tuesday’s presidential debate, Donald Trump refused to condemn white supremacists when asked to do so by moderator Chris Wallace. Instead, Trump told the alt-right group the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.” KCRW looks at what the debate means for the Proud Boys, and whether they have a vision for America.
