Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} Proud Boys, the extremist right-wing organisation Donald Trump once told to “stand by”, has said they’ve had a member inside the White House for four years. Posting on social media site Parler on Saturday, the Proud Boys account said "There's been a Proud Boy at the White House for four years and everyone's shocked about the pic from today," Newsweek reported. The post responded to anger at claims Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio was invited to the White House on the same day the president’s supporters and Proud Boys members rallied in Washington DC. "He did not have a meeting with the president, nor did the White House invite him.” In September’s presidential debate, Mr Trump told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by” as he responded to a question on right-wing extremism, and sidestepped a chance to condemn the organisation.
