Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes sued the U.S. Southern Poverty Law Center on Feb. 4 for defamation after it labeled his organization a hate group, alleging the designation was aimed at getting him kicked off social media platforms.
The men-only Proud Boys group describes itself as a fraternal club of “Western chauvinists” who are “anti-racism,” while the law center describes the organization as misogynistic, anti-Muslim bigots.
