after all hell breaks out in Portland this weekend?
"And as a Trump-era wave of rightwing street protest continues, it is not clear that American cities, or police forces, are willing or able to prevent the violence that accompanies them, some experts and activists say.
Patriot Prayer was founded by the rightwing Senate candidate Joey Gibson and its stated beliefs are not neo-Nazi or white supremacist. Like the Proud Boys group, with whom Patriot Prayer’s membership often overlaps, Gibson’s positions are best described as conservative Republican, or Trumpian."

"Gibson describes himself politically as a "moderate libertarian",[9][10] but his organization has been described in the media as "alt-right".[11][12] Gibson denies that his group is alt-right, and has disavowed white supremacists who frequently appear at his events.[13][14][15][16][17]
Gibson supports a pathway to citizenship for non-criminal illegal immigrants. He supports decriminalization of marijuana, and same-sex marriage.[18] Gibson advocates for establishment of term limits for the U.S. Congress, implementation of a national sales tax, and abolition of the Internal Revenue Service.[19] He opposes what he describes as undue influence of the pharmaceutical industry on healthcare in the United States.[14]
During a March 2018 campaign rally in Spokane Valley, Washington, Gibson expressed opposition to Antifa, a group that frequently protests at his events, and said regarding white nationalists, "I would say the same thing to them that I would say to any black nationalist or Mexican nationalists [sic] group, we have to drop the identity of politics and focus on what is on the inside."[20] He has said freedom of speech is a central element to his platform."
