Patriot Prayer Is Dragging Antifa Into An Unwinnable PR War (HBO)

For someone running for Senate in Washington, Joey Gibson spends a lot of time out of state. Despite his candidacy, Gibson is best known as the founder of Patriot Prayer, a group which publicly disavows racism but has a record for throwing rallies that attract violent white supremacists. And over the last few months, his group has made regular appearances in Portland, a liberal enclave that they claim needs to be “cleansed.” On Saturday, Patriot Prayer held a “Freedom March” in Portland. Around a thousand counter protesters showed up, far outnumbering the 200 or so people who came to support Patriot Prayer. But Gibson isn’t playing a numbers game. His strategy appears to focus more on creating moments that will make leftists look violent — and himself look like a victim. And it seems to be working, at least for his base. VICE News went to the source to see how street protests are spiraling into an online PR war.
