The leader of a conservative group who saw a supporter shot dead in Portland over the weekend strongly criticized people celebrating the death of the man while pushing back on characterizations of his group as a white supremacist organization.

“I knew that these people were low. I knew that Ted Wheeler was low. I knew that Kate Brown was low. I didn’t know that they were that low—They would turn around and called Jay some sort of white supremacist or say white supremacists came down there or say spoiling for a fight, when in their town, a Christian, a conservative, whatever, was shot execution-style, and they have no remorse for what happened,” Joey Gibson said in a video message posted on social media.
