On August 29, 2020, Patriot Prayer member Aaron Danielson (also known as “Jay Bishop”) was stalked and murdered in Portland, Oregon by a man named Michael Reinoehl, who described himself as 100% Antifa. On September 3, Reinoehl was killed by U.S. Marshals when they attempted to apprehend him. The next day, Facebook not only deleted the Patriot Prayer page, but also banned its founder, Joey Gibson, along with several of the page’s admins. Joey Gibson issued the following statement:
Official statement: Antifa groups murdered my friend while he was walking home, and instead of the multibillion dollar company (FACEBOOK) banning Portland antifa pages they ban Patriot Prayer, Joey Gibson, and several other grandmas that are admins. People can sign up at PatriotPrayerUSA.com for future events.
